Malignaggi will not control Khan the way he did Diaz !!!...

Sort of like Maidana

 

Well, your first paragraph is kinda what I already said. And surely you already know that what you do in the ABA's has little effect on how you will fare in the Pro's (especially someone with a chin as bad as Khans coz he wont have a headguard or massive gloves to help soften the blows and he certainly wont face the sort of punchers he will nowadays) Yes, Cotto's last fight at 140 was the bout against Paulie but he still hit paulie much harder that Khan will and Paulie hung in there and gave a good account of himself. Khans KO percentage iis made up with opponrnts from his early days when Warren was hand feeding him walking punchbags and a fair amount of those stoppages were due to an over anxious referee too eager to stop the action after a flurry where nothing lands. Honestly mate, my knowlege of boxing isnt something I picked up over the last year or two whilst sitting in the pub, I've been a fan for almost 30 years and every opinion I have I back up with an explanation.

 

I'm looking forward to this fight, Khans going to try and overpower Paulie with his speed but his going to receive some back in his chops at equal speed which will make him think carefully about his next move.

 

Come on Taco, petty insults only go to prove your as clueless about the sport as your posts suggest

 

As for saying Khan would never be a world champion I forgot about the fact he was with Warren and therefore can get a world title shot against a safe opponent without even earning it. If someone disagree's with your opinion you cant just throw the toys out of the pram and start crying. Khan is still relatively untested and he will have to start facing decent fighters now even if he still manages to avoid punchers. I rate his fight against Paulie as his toughest yet by a country mile and will give him props if he wins without controversy or cuts (ie. barrera) but if he does pass Malinaggi he will really need to start facing punchers or he is gonna become a laughing stock with some fans.

 

I think that PM may have a very good chance against Khan. From watching Malignaggi's fights he seems to be able to work around a variety of styles. For whatever reason he blew it against Hatton but that seemed like an anomaly. And to bring up the N'dou rematch seems out of place if PM did not have the ridiculous hair situation he would have done much better, speaking of N'dou: Malignaggi dropped him in there first fight and he has a "good chin" I wonder if he will catch Khan with something similar in May.

 

I think Khan is favourite but not by as much as people are saying.

 

Khan will win a wide UD. Paulie has a good chin so cant see Khan stopping him

 

Heard it all now :rofl

So Khan manages to win via TKO against the worst possible boxer to have ever fought for a world title and is now a Murderous puncher despite the only true Knockout on his record being AT THE HANDS OF Prescott ?

 

He wont stop him IMO and if he does then it will be on the old 'Accumulation of punches' scenario not because in any way shape or form because he is a puncher.

 

Guys remember Manny was not a big puncher at lower weights, but as he came in weight he has been KO people.

The key for this is retaining speed as you go up, because adding any weight the right way to speed = KO.

Khan looks to be natural at 140, this is his real weight.
