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

[Combat Talk Radio]

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

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.

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.

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.

Khan's been annoying and delusional his entire career. Him being that way if he defeated Pac would be nothing new.

that's my point exactly. Khan is like that and has accomplished nothing to warrant such delusional behavior. Imagine if he were to add pacs name to his resume. Despite pac being old, khan would act like he beat a prime Ray Leonard.

Khan fought Algieri....I actually had the fight for Algieri. Old manny knocked him down several times and toyed with him for 12 rounds.

Anyone who thinks Khan has a chance to win even a decision is delusional. He is not that great of a boxer, weak chin aside.

Footwork and hand speed and movement are fine, but those things don’t win boxing fights alone.

Does Horn and Khan fight anything alike??? Oh that’s what I thought. Horn used his size advantage to bullrush Pac and didn’t leave him any room to breath. Do you seriously think Pac don’t have a case on winning that fight??

Do you think Khan can eat the punches Horny ate in round 9??

Yup you’re right about one thing, pac is not a one punch KO artist. But with Khan’s glass chin does he even need to be??
Or his power is enough?

If khan can frustrate Pac, why couldn’t he do it against mediocre Algeiri? Pac knocked him down 6 times!! How many times Khan did?? If anything he was the one getting hurt.

Khan will definitely have his moments against Pac but he’ll get clipped. Dude just hasn’t looked good for like 5 yrs— except if you count that canelo outing.

[Cadet Bonespurs]

It’s 2018 and people are still making a case for Amir Khan. Step away from your phone and take a walk outside.

[15 round fight]

Khan would give him fits with his speed.

Real talk right here. They actually still believe and brainwashed by Khan’s delusions of grandeur. Everytime he opens his mouth it’s cringeworthy really.

Clottey. Margarito and Marquez you’ve mentioned would all KO khan in their primes.

You mentioned all the things that happened to Pac’s career you are damn right. That’s all the experience you get if you are a certified ATG.

Khan has been KOed exact number of times but still he has no place in history. He’ll be forgotten easily. He’s even fighting and like what 29??? But where is he?? He’s yet to carry his own PPV fight!!! He’s not even close to the relevance floyd or manny had during their primes.

What has he achieved really? Other than talk??? Talk about beating brook. Talk about rematch with garcia. Talk about pac about floyd. He’s already 29!! Pac was a certified HOF already during those times. Lmao!!

I can’t believe someone was actually brainwashed by Khan’s delusions of grandeur.

I used to be a fan but everytime he opens his mouth it’s just cringeworthy

Amir Khan (32-4, 20 KOs) is very eager to get in the ring with his friend and former sparring partner, Manny Pacquiao (60-7-2, 39 KOs). For a few years the two boxers trained side by side when they were both guided by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.

Not sure about that.

But I am sure the PPV will break global sales of 1.5m with ease.

[Ake-Dawg]

They both have brought each other up. Seems like a good scrap to me.
