    You are right in that regard. While they are both southpaws, Pacman fights nothing like McCloskey.


    Btw anyone else question Khan fighting a southpaw before a meeting with the orthodox Bradley?

    Yup.

    Plus Roach in the past has alway used Khan to make Manny bring his A-game in sparring, and force him to get his timings right.

    This was the reason why I wanted Peterons instead. The only McCloskey will imitate his good upperbody movement and a bit of slickness.

    I want to see a fight between Alex and Khan's new conditioning coach, **** is going to be tense at wild card.

    I don't think Laz was implying Khan has the same pop as Mosley. Regardless, Khan isn't going to be used for his punching-power. It's the speed he brings.

    Hearing that Berto-Ortiz is looking good, only problem is finding a suitable venue. Most are booked for April 16.

    Hope SBO carry the card over to U.S this Ortiz vs Berto will be a good fight.

    Only the Irish. The rest will bash Khan for taking this fight

    yeah but it will be satifying to nip that one in the bud, remember all incessant nonsense about Munroe/Dunne?
