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

[rrayvez]

It's a big fight.. Huge in fact. I wouldn't call it mega.. But apparently Dubai is paying close to 40 million for it.. That means in terms of money it's a mega fight. It'll be the biggest money fight since Cotto/Canelo as it takes place before AJ/Vlad.

I don't know how legit the dubai offer is as Bob arum expressed that he is skeptical. When I hear superfight, I think of 2 top boxing stars in their primes in a fight that the public highly demands. Not a former superstar in pac who was at his best maybe about 5-6 years and khan who never was a real superstar or top for pound fighter. He hasn't held a title in about 5 yrs nor has he had a relevant win in about 6-7 yrs.

You know how many times I have said on this board Khan just wants to cash out. He got his payday against Canelo and now he gets again against Pac. I thought Khan said he wanted a tuneup first before a big fight.

Garcia destroyed him, real talk. Literally destroyed any part of khan that hoped he'd become the best in the world one day. Since then Khan has fought nobodies and almost gave his life away to Canelo for a few mil like a **********. Before Garcia Khan wanted to be remembered in boxing. After Garcia he just wanted to cash out.

YEWWW.

Only reason Khan got picked is because of his popularity in England. He's deserving no ****, he's a fking gatekeeper at this point, with a glass chin and 0 power. Fk off. Crawford was the real fight for Manny, but all Manny does is duck duck duck

Pac going for that easy UK money

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?

I feel exactly the same

This will be a fun fight to watch. Khan is a talented fighter and I think he shows something in this one. More likely than not he gets caught and he goes to sleep but it will be fun while it lasted.
Khan can lost this fight and still fight the Garcia/Thurman winner, Brook in the UK, and others at 147.

Algieri rocked him because of range. Which Manny does not have.

Canelo rocked him because of a feint. Which Manny does, but not nearly as well.

Prescott rocked him because his defense was crap. Which has no longer been an issue as long as it's not Canelo across from him.

Garcia rocked him because he bounced back and forth doing the same combo and got caught. He assumed Garcia was too slow to catch him. He won't make that assumption against Manny.

Remember, Maidana hit him with BOMBS - the same bombs that caused Victor Ortiz to quit - and yet Khan still won that.

We also learned from TBE that all you have to do to nullify Pacquiao is stay at distance and jab. Khan's jab is his best punch and he's fast enough to stay away from Manny's setup punch.

Again, I think Manny wins the fight, but by decision, not knockout. Not Manny. Not if he couldn't KO Algieri, couldn't KO Bradley, couldn't KO Marquez, couldn't KO Rios...





Bet's on. April 22nd can't come soon enough. This is when we really will prove that Manny was taking something before 2009 - if I'm right and Khan basically "Floyds" this dude...

Boxing Manny is easier said than done... only JMM and May have done it recently, and they both did it differently and still took heavy damage.

Now that Khan jabs more for defensive purposes, he will take a lead counter left down the pipe and get dropped like Algieri RD9.

Khan tries to get up on jello legs like he did against Maidana and gets TKOed this time.

Some guy named Jeff is crying in pillow somewhere in Brisbane

But now he talk to his friends like "You know that Pacquiao guy, right? We ALMOST had a fight"

[soul_survivor]

Big fan of this fight! Going to be all action and khan has shown he can out box just about anybody at range...for a period of time lol Once Pac gets inside, it will be very interesting!

I hope it does happen in the UAE as there hasn't been a big fight outside of the UK or US in years.

Oh and like I said before, noway does Pac go back on a fan poll unlike a certain someone else.
