    Still not buying this. That UAE money isn't trustworthy.

    Why would they want to fight in the desert? Because of the money I guess. Hbo wld probably be there, even though a bad viewing time for Americans.

    No you're not, after all, one punch can end the fight. But if you are basing your decision because Khan has fast hands and he was doing good against Canela then yes, you are crazy. Manny with his 38 years of age is still Manny and not a lot of fighters can figure him out. He looks beatable from the outside but inside the ring it's a whole different game. Look at his recent fights, even though his punch output has declined, he still got his skills and is relying more on them as the years go by. Feints, weird punching angles, little traps here and there can cause a fighter to not engage as much. And then there's Amir's Chin.
    Khan's speed has something to do with it in the sense that how many fighters has Pac faced that are faster than him? 0 to my knowledge... I don't even think floyd was.

    Also Manny hasn't had a KO in 8 years, yea Khan has weak chin but look at who has Ko'ed him not weak fighters. Not saying Pac is weak but if you look at all of Khans KO losses they were against heavy hitters and Pac hasn't had a KO since '09. Maybe that's crazy but it's a thought.

    Canelo and Pac are day and night in terms of the type of fighter they are...

    In his recent fights who has he faced that is Khans level??

    Bradley- not as fast or tall as Khan ( is a better boxer though),lost to Pac 3 times ( even though I had him winning the second at first before he started boxing ******)
    Algieri- got caught in the moment and wasn't ready for a huge step up like that.
    Vargas- same as algieri.

    So comparing Khan to them is like comparing Pac to Nelo different animal of fighter...

    I favor Pac but I think Khan at this point in Pac's career just might have enough too win same age Pac kills him but 8 year difference plus super human speed ( per Garcia).... I favor Pac but just saying

    Did Koncz finally find a way to exclude Arum?

    here's the thing though. khan is NOT the type of fighter to outbox his opponent for all 12 rounds. He can do it for 4-5 rounds but As the fight goes on longer, khan gets sloppier and more desperate.

    Khan is the type of fighter that needs to take his opponent out early if not then khan fades in the second half of the fight and it doesnt matter who the opponent is, it can be a c level fighter but if khan doesnt take that fighter out early, then khan will struggle in the second half. It's like his confidence fades away if he cant hurt his opponent.

    now add in the fact that khan used to be trained by roach and the main reason for khan leaving was because he felt roach wasnt giving him enough attention. knowing this, you know khan is going to go out there trying to prove a point.
    He did box perfect for 12r against still hot Devon and Kotelnic, take the 10thr away and it was almost perfect vs Maidana also. Pac is still the safe bet. But a good match still

    Would be nice to see manny go out with a highlight reel ko
    I don't think it's going to be a dramatic knockout. I think Manny is too merciful in the ring at this stage of his career. He'll probably hurt Khan many times, then let him survive. Maybe a UD...or a TKO due to cumulative punishment.

    That's the whole reason they wanted this fight after canelo laid him out they figured manny can do it to. I wanna see canelo an manny go at it after canelo fights 666, even if 666 loses to Jacobs which I got Jacobs winning.
