Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Khan on April 23: Fighters Announce Deal is Reached

[davef]

Imo Manny andFloyd didnt fight Khan for a long time cuse style wise his hard opponent for them.

I dont know if i agree with that im not even just being a hater but khan is really shit after 3 or 4 rounds when a half decent fighter gets the timing down and starts to connect on him

he starts backpeddling across the ring in full panic mode and he cannot fight off the back foot he needs to have his opponent stationary in front of him so he cant plant his feet and throw combinations hell he doesnt even try get out of range after landing shots he starts to get over confident with own speed and stays in there too long look at the garcia fight wtf was he doing when he got hit with the GARSH he wasnt even paying attention to anything garcia was doing he was trying to tee off on him because he believed he couldnt be caught

fighters like pac and floyd even at 38 years old should destroy him after the early rounds

Khan is putting himself out of position ,thats his main problem,if he is not punching to much (3 punches combo max ,his fine) ,he can change the tempo to avoid getting timened,his not so bland as people say ,his world class boxer for a reason.

I wont be suprised if Khan win by UD ,Floyd and Manny dont have this 1 punch KO ( i know Pac KOed Hatton) ,imo Floyd would be better for Khan ,Pac is still very offensive and dangerous but its harder to counter if your opponent have reach advantage. It will be great fight for sure.

yea i see it being a fan friendly fight but even though manny has declined a lot judging by the vargas fight he should still have enough left to beat khan surely

i see it going how most khan fights go he wins the first 4 rounds then he starts getting tagged and goes in to survival mode down the stretch

[Pigeons]

Now that's called Twitter making a fight. Khan got another huge fight. His last chance at securing Mayweather.

I predict a fireworks filled fight of both guys exchanging blazing speed punches til Khan gets knocked out! Should be Pacquiao's first KO since Hatton. Either way it will be a fun fight to watch. I can't wait.

I said interesting. Honestly, I don't know anything about Horn.

Neither does Pacquaio apparently.

But be real. Would you rather see Pac vs. Horn or Pac vs. Khan.

I love these types of match-ups where if either guy loses, I'll have a reason to laugh. I respect them as boxers, but I don't really like either of these dudes, and I'm big enough to admit that. In the best of both worlds, they will both throw hooks and there will be a double knockout.

learn something or stop speaking on a person u dont know..isnt that hating...khan interst you? fuggin how..the dude is on his back more than his darn feet..he's scared to commit to a punch after the first time he's touched.

Great fight but i'm not getting too excited until the venue, networks are confirmed because Dubai is dodgy when it comes to boxing and if it's in UK or USA I don't think it will happen as soon as April 23rd.

If it cant happen on April 23rd that's a problem because of Manny's senate commitments.

[Caught Square]

Great fight.. but still got a feeling it aint gonna get made. With Bob not beeing involved, location not beeing set, offer from Dubai, onlyb2 months away..too many x factors

Just saw this.... I agree i'm still sceptical

[Nusky]

If this fight is indeed happening, For some odd reason I'm not excited about it at all. I'll still watch because I am a boxing junkie. But with Manny off the roids and khan a few more concussions deeper into his career, im not anticipating much in this fight.

But who knows, right?

[BlackSoul]

i liked this fight BEFORE khan got knocked out
