Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I Respect Pacquiao - But I Know I Can Beat Him!

[Removed Now]

Would Khan vs Pacquiao sell out Wembley Stadium?

Hell yea. It would also sell out the garden. It's a big fight still.

Lo Greco & Alexander are the barometers for greatness now? This is too much.

It's not about Lo Greco, it's about how Khan can land five punches on him faster than Manny had ever landed on any fighter. Speed and timing.

If you seriously think Khan won't frustrate a clean Manny that's your business. Could Khan get caught? Sure. But Manny doesn't have knockout power and Khan doesn't quit. The guys he stopped - all of them - were slow, come forward guys who felt the need to stand and fight. He couldn't stop Bradley, a boxer that moves. Couldn't stop Algieri, a boxer that moves.

Remember, I'm the guy who told y'all before the fight that Jeff Horn would take Manny the distance, and you dismissed Horn's wins too. We saw what happened.

I definitely think a Khan who's mobile with fast hands is a sterner test than flat-footed, lead-fisted Matthysse. Honestly I think Khan would be a slight favourite in that fight. Still, it's a fight I wouldn't mind seeing. If Khan's not going to fight Brook I guess this is the next best thing.

Don't look for this fight because KHAN is too fast for PAC. Back in sparring sessions he used to outbox PAC. ARUM,ROACH and PAC already knows this.

Been trying to tell people here. Too much is being made of Khan getting knocked out before. So had Manny.

Yes Khan had a terrible performance against Algieri. He always had bad performances against taller guys. Never guys his height or lower.

Khan is a BAD style matchup for this Pacquiao.

The other problem is that they're friends. Manny won't finish friends. Khan will do whatever he has to do to get a win.

I really think thats the next fight for Manny. He tried to make it before and Arum pretty much sabotaged it. I think now its the time.

The Boxing Truth

At certain point Khan maybe faster than Pac. But Pac's combination will be just too much for Khan to handle. Speed vs Speed. But Pac is much stronger and tougher than Khan. Pac will outbox Khan. Khan is not a counter puncher.

Khan has never earned any major fight and that is ultimately why they have never come off. Manny , although way past his prime is still a major name and will be looking for someone like Khan and not any of the top guys to fight next. khan may actually be in the running and only because Manny knows he may be able to keep his stoppage run of one (in many years) going based on Khans weak chin.. He knows that Lucas would still be dangerous if allowed to punch but knew also that Lucus was done and there for the taking . Lucas was actually worst than I thought he would be ....sound choice Manny.

Manny and Khan are only there to pad their bank accounts and not to fight the best . I would much prefer to see the real fights in the division and we all know this is not.

Khan survived bombs from Chino and was only ever dropped by larger guys throwing full set loaded single power shots off counters. Manny is an accumulation fighter, not one punch.

As Floyd and even Horn demonstrated, distance is the key to beating Manny if you don't have KO power.

The fight favors Khan, who is a master of range finding, against a guy who gets easily frustrated by a fighter who is always on the move.

Again though, that's assuming Manny is drug tested.

LOL that was Khan 10 years ago that survived chino. If we’re gonna based our predictions from 10 yrs ago then Pac by straight murder.

All I know is Khan has been decked by lesser and slower fighters than Manny. He is not a master in range finding. Even Algieri made it competitive against him and his score was like 120-102 against pac.

Pac still has the pulse to time that Chin. Given he’ll give Manny plenty of room to breathe.

The top welters can beat Manny, some of them by KO, but Khan is not one of them.

[Idunnoshet]

Although I'd pick Pac if they fought .
I think it would be a winnable fight for Khan .

[Pigeons]

They tried to make this fight once before so I wouldn't be surprised if they tried again. It's probably the best payday out there for Pacquiao and Khan would make at least as much vs. Pacquiao as he would vs. Brook.

[mathed]

Pac KO’s him in 3 rds
