    I read the news that Khan is now targeting Pacquiao and felt sad.

    Pacquiao is an absolute legend of the sport but at this stage is obviously a fading force.

    It is typical of Khan, he has obviously considered all the great fighters at 147 and thought ill ignore the guys in their prime. Even his biggest fight against a severely weight drained Brook at 147 obviously is too much risk for him.

    You just know in his head he thinks beating 40 year old Pacquiao would make him P4P number 1. If this happened suddenly it would be Crawford, Spence and Garcia have to be realistic in negotiations.

    He's been calling out both Pacquiao and Floyd for years.... He's also called out THurman, Spence and Crawford. Brook said he would make 147 to fight khan, he's the B side.

    How the hell does he think beating Pac would make him p4p No.1? Where the hell is Pac in the p4p ratings now? Didn`t he see what Crawford did to Horn?

    Anyone with a punch will knock Khan out, Crawford would destroy Khan, Horn is far tougher than Khan.

    Khans chin is weaker than The Spanish defense in this world cup.

    Pacman knocks him out round 6.

    I would say this match would break Manny's KO drought, but Manny will in all likelihood stop Lucas.

    Khan has not done anything for a long time except get knocked out by Canelo.

    Hoping that's true, but I think Manny gets KO'd into retirement.

    Wait, do you mean Lucas will KO Manny?

    :lol:

    Nope, Lucas is going to get ripped to pieces.

    It would be nice to see Pac get his KO percentage pass the 57% mark and end his career with
    that elusive KO but I don't see it happening vs Matthysse.

    I'm not saying its going to be a straight up KO, I'm leaning more towards a facial damage induced TKO by the corner.

    I don't think Pac has it in him anymore. He will look good for the first four or so rounds and when he realizes that Matt can bang a little he will find he's not willing to put in the work involved to try and get him out of there. Pac by dec.

    Oh! Damn reading comprehension. I just realized that you meant Khan would end Manny's KO drought, but it will happen with Lucas instead because Lucas is next.

    I was stoned last night.
