Manny of a few years ago would have no trouble with Khan but I think that Khan's quickness and combos could steal rounds early, and maybe establish an unassailable lead, with Manny needing a KO to win in the later rounds, resulting in a robbery decision for Manny Pac.
Then again I could just be talking total boolshlt and Manny wobbles Khan repeatedly and get him in survival mode. Freddie has coached Khan but Virgil has never coached Manny, so the strategic side of things definitely favours Manny.
Definitely Manny Pacquiao.
Khans chin is always going to lose him big fights against big hitters.
But these days, Manny isnt a big hitter and his own chin is suspect now.
This would be 50-50 today. Prime Pacquiao would take prime Khans head off, but the current Pacquaio is slower, less powerful, throws fewer combos and has a lesser chin than his prime.
But even then, he still has to be a slight favourite to beat Khan as Amir has never really beaten a top level opponent.
A motivated Pacquiao beats a motivated Khan. I know Eddie F. says that too much is made out of Khan's chin, but he's gone out against Garcia, almost went out against Maidana, almost again when he fought Julio Diaz, and got caught cold against Prescott (which I can overlook). If Manny is on his game, he can beat Khan. The referee won't allow Khan to push off with his elbow or hold the way he did with Collazo. You can do that with contenders, but not with the elites. I think Manny by UD or late stoppage.
Win or lose, Pac gives Mayweather a black eye for taking on Khan when Floyd avoided the Brit. I hope Pac gets that KO he hasn't had in a couple of years if the Khan fight actually happens.
I think Khan gives him some trouble with his speed and movement early on but once Manny finds his target it's sleepytime for baby Amir and he can go find himself yet another trainer once he wakes up.
Manny destroys Khan. Khan may match Pac in terms of skill, but loses out on strength, speed, experience and smarts.
I hope this fight happens and Khan gets ktfo and f off.
Sparring is different from the pressure of a fight in front of millions watching. Even the puncher Prescott KO'd Khan asleep.
Pacquiao by KO RD. 6
Khan could hurt Pacquiao early, but odds are even a Old Pacquiao will beat him convincingly.
If Khan can stay away from Manny and use his reach and box. He can win definetly. But if he allows Pac to swarm him and outgun him he'll lose.
Not sure. Khan's reach and handspeed would give T-Rex armed Pacquiao fits, but Khan cannot take a shot. I'd lean towards Pac based on Khan's bad chin alone, but its entirely possible that Khan would be on his bicycle all night and never even give Manny the chance.
ayt, accepted, at this stage, after all the signs of deterioration from pac, khan might have a chance...
yet still, that brittle chin makes this fight favorable to pac... not only pac has a chance to beat someone floyd
ducked but also someone who beat maidana.
this pacfight will make floyd look bad just like the old days
