    Comments Thread For: Khan: I've Dropped, Hurt Many in Sparring - Pacquiao Can Tell You

    NEW YORK Amir Khan didn't try to make it sound as if he'll punch like Gennady Golovkin in his first middleweight fight.

    The British welterweight didn't predict he'll hurt Canelo Alvarez, either, much less knock out his opponent May 7 in Las Vegas. But based on his previous sparring experience, when he has competed at his natural weight and hasn't had to drain himself physically to reach the welterweight or junior welterweight limit, Khan has felt like a more powerful fighter.

      Good for him. He's not much of a puncher in real fights.

          Every fecking day he comes out with something else, he is in love with his own voice !
          I like Khan as a fighter, his is not as goos as he thinks he is, but he is a very decent fighter, but I wish he would shut the feck up !!

            Why not ask Freddie Roach?

              Who knows, he possibly did. But then again he did say he took big shots off Ward in sparring, when in reality they had never sparred.

                With this kind of talk you have to really fear for his safety but maybe Khan needs a good hammering to make him realise that his best chance of any real respect is fighting guys at his real fighting weight welter and not hunting for the money the glory and a weight excuse if and when it goes wrong.

                I would have been far happier to see him in against , Brook,Bradley,thurman,Porter,Garcia or even Spence with no excuses of a out of weight fight.

                There are weight categories in boxing for a reason the main one being safety, Khan's chin has been found wanting in much lower divisions and although not a fan a concern is there as he is in the ring a very brave guy.

                  Khan being slick, he didn't say he dropped Manny but makes it sound like he did, dude is slick with his words.

                  Khan is the same guy who said he hanged with Andre Ward in sparring, yet Ward said he never sparred with him, they only shadow boxed and warmed up in the ring together lol

                    This is why he wanted a big fight. He's loving every minute of it. He wants the cameras in his face every minute. Khan's goal has always been to become a superstar. He's said as much when asked why he doesn't fight in the UK.
