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

[SN!PER]

One final knockout of glory for the Pacman!

Call me crazy but I think Amir could give Manny some serious, serious problems

Amir got the height & reach on his side, not to mention Manny rarely is at a hand speed disadvantage, but Amir is as fast, if not faster than Manny, especially at this stage of Manny's career

And yeah yeah I know, Amir got chin issues, but Manny hasn't stopped anybody since what, 2011? The Cotto fight?

Hunter be like, this the gameplan

In all honesty Manny should still have enough to beat Khan comprehensively.

This myth that Khan 'outboxes' anyone is pure Khan BS.

Khan is coming off a vicious KO, and coming down in weight and has also showed no real results at 147 to speak of.

If Manny is mentally and physically prepared (and I think he will be, because he knows Khan VERY well from the WC days) he wins by UD or even a late stoppage.

Here's a video to remind Khan of what might happen to him.

you gotta admire how quick manny is. and damm i feel bad for cotto. he took one of the worst beatings out of the rest of them.

I don't know man, Khan was boxing pretty beautifully for about half a fight before Canelo (inevitably) caught up to him.

And while it of course can't be discounted that Manny could catch him, even at his very advanced age, it's still probably more unlikely than it is likely. Even with Khan's notorious chin.

I mean it's been 6 years since Manny has stopped anyone.

Khan will put on a schooling if he shows up and Pacquiao has an off night.

[rooq]

it'll be interesting to see if this actually happens in UAE. the news channels over there seemed pretty enthusiastic about the prospect of the fight. Loads of Pakistanis and Pinoys over there

It's been 8 years I think but that's true but at the same time Pacquaio hasn't fought anyone with a bad chin in 8 years let alone a glass chin like Khan's.

He's hurt or dropped every fighter he's faced in the last8 years except Clottey.
