    Even Roach thinks so, but also watching the Khan vs Maidana fight, everytime he gets hit, he raises both of his arms up. Is he trying to copy Pac's style? Also throwing punches in bunches, in and out movements etc.

    He would have to leave Roach, retain whatever he learned, and move on with a trainer that can work on his weaknesses. Khan has evolved and bettered himself as a fighter but unless he doesn't believe he can improve he won't. This is the point where he needs to listen to his critics, learn from his mistakes, and evolve further as a fighter. If he struggled with Lamont how will he compete with Floyd? Even tho he beat Ortiz in the ams Ortiz might turn the tables in the pros. Ring generalship, defense, and stamina need to be worked on bigtime if Khan wants to take it to the next level.

    I think they will be about even at that stage, give it 3years and khan might have the edge, but khan won't be better then PAC prime vs prime

    I get that, but Khan lost to Peterson and was life and death with Maidana after reaching a "great" level. That said, Khan doesn't have the same make up as Manny...Khan has not shown that he can be "Elite" in my opinion.
