    The only punch that really does him in is that left hook. He wouldn't really have that to worry about vs Manny Pacquiao.

    I see Amir outboxing him.

    Maybe, but Pacquiao still has power as he hurt Floyd twice, so who knows what happens if he connects on Amir.

    I'd still favor Pacquiao, but if it goes 12 then Amir wins unless he is knocked down a few times.
     
  3. I don't. Even a machins gun shot Manny could riddle out a flurry and Ka-Yo Khan(con). All that rangy, fast ,talk is for guys tryna build another monster. But this "monster" has terrible timing and a bad chin.
    Look at the Alexander fight. Amir's face was bruised and battered.

    Khan has the size and speed to give Pac problems but come on lets be serious even a defensive master like Mayweather wasn't able to go 12 rounds without being caught clean and hurt by Pac, can you really imagine Khan not getting hit at least once cleanly by that straight left? Even if Khan is winning the fight he will get hit at some point and when that happens Pac rips his porcelain chin clean off his head.

    speed and fast hands can't save you if your defense is absolutely ****, especially against a puncher

    Pacquiao is better than Khan at literally every aspect of boxing.

    He would destroy Khan and it would be hilarious.

    Pacquiao would do to khan the same thing he did to hatton. That left hand is going to find a home and it'll be fight over.

    I'm good with khan fighting pac so we can see khan sleeping again.

    One counter hook and Khan will be knocked out cold. Pacquiao isn't losing against a basic fighter with one noteworthy attribute(speed, which fades after 4 rounds due to poor stamina).

    Too many arm chair experts on here.

    At this stage, Khan really troubles Pac.

    He would beat JMM convincingly also.

    i dno pac is good enough and unorthadox enough to land a decent shot on him early, and khans ability to recover from any decent punch is almost non existent... couple that with mannys ability to finish a guy with vicious combinations and khans inexperience when it comes to dealing with the situation of being hurt (he often trys to fight his way out of it, which against pac is just ****ing suicide)

    pac would take him out i think

    I don't know about all that.

    Pacman still packs some heat in those punches. He's also very fast handed and has become a clever counterpuncher.

    It would be an interesting matchup. I'd imagine Khan wouldn't exchange too often in the pocket with Manny. If he did,I'd favor Manny to knock him out.

    Don't make Khan out to be anything that he isn't. However, he'd never find Khan because of speed and technique. Since Khan has gotten with Virgil, he's fought smarter in the ring.

    Judging from Khan Pacquiao sparring in 2009 it would be an easy night for Pacquiao

    2016 Khan Pacquiao is something different though.
