Yaiks Khan will beat Manny...really?

If this fight happend this would be Khan's Swang Song... Literally and figuratively.

The Kahn-dashian is still looking for an easy payday. PAC should only offer him a fight after Kahn fights either Spence or Crawford.

If Manny does that then there might not be much of Khan left to fight.

If only Amir even had Paulies Chin, or for that matter if only Paulie had Amir’s power. Khan was making Nelo look slow until he got melted. He has a great left right combo but his chin is right out there. Any version of Manny is too much.

Yet he couldn't time Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn. And Horn's nowhere near as fast as Khan. Unanimous decision loss. Why? Manny got frustrated and made mistakes. He always does make mistakes when you frustrate him. That's why I say Khan beats him - it's not a matter of skill for either guy, it's the fact that Khan's style is a perfect fit to get Manny flustered and frustrated into abandoning the game plan and getting decisioned.




Exactly. Even now. Or even especially now. Manny doesn't have the same speed, Khan doesn't look to have lost any of it. Even if Khan gets caught, Manny is not a one-punch KO guy, never has been, and Khan doesn't quit.

You MIGHT see a stoppage ala Khan/Garcia, but it's extremely unlikely. Garcia has one-punch power, Manny does not, so unless Kenny Bayless decides to help Manny out by waving off the fight due to not answering "COME TO MEEEEEE!!" satisfactorily, it's not happening. If Bayless or Weeks isn't the ref, Khan's not getting stopped. And even in loss, Khan landed more on Garcia, was more accurate than Garcia, and Garcia has way better defense under fire than Manny. Manny was eating flush shots from Clottey, Marquez, Margacheato - all of which are slower than Khan.

People are really not giving Khan credit and they're making too much of his losses. Let's put this in perspective for people.

• He's been knocked out three times - ONLY three times. Manny has been knocked out the same number of times, same ways.
• He's never been unanimously beaten - EVER. Manny has been unanimously decisioned three times, two by future Hall of Famers, once by a school gym teacher with limited pro experience. So three times, the judges were in agreement these three times CLEARLY beat Manny Pacquiao.
• He's never been taken to a draw. Manny has twice - meaning, two times the judges weren't really sure he did enough.

So I don't see this wide disparity between them that others do. I see a guy who has a chance to beat Manny Pacquiao by decision based primarily on Manny frequently getting frustrated by boxers that move. That's his words, not mine.

not to argue your opinion but why does it have to be 1 punch ? and in what fight has khans talents got him through ? before you type in the answer, you should independently and honestly rate that opponent.

im not at all a pac fan (i dont hate him either) but khan is not at his level.

Khan beats manny, manny beat a shot fighter who didnt use his footwork or even throw punches. Mannys good at this time but khan will beat him convincingly. He might have khan buzzed in 1 or 2 rounds but he is not fighting a flat footed slow small shot fighter. Manny has more of a chance against thurman than he does khan. Khan haters are deluded and will discredit everything the man has achieved and will say 'oh but he has a glass chin' jealousy is a disease unfortunately

khan usually is faster than his opponent. wont be the case with shot pac. and try as you may to think khan isnt going to get hit, pac will hit him.....often. and khans chin/neck arent built for getting hit.
