    Got this from sky:

    “Since then Manny Pacquiao has had two defeats. He’s been knocked out once by (Juan Manuel) Marquez and then he got beat by (Timothy) Bradley which was a little controversial, but I think Mayweather will take the fight.

    “He will be much smarter and he’ll pick his shots a little bit better. He’ll make it a little boring at times because Manny, as we know, is a come-forward fighter who likes to do a lot of punches.

    “But Mayweather will try to avoid all those punches and just maybe throw that one shot that will count and then move away again. But time will tell.

    “I’ve been watching Mayweather train on social media and he has been training very hard so he might come up with a different gameplan this fight, something that we have not seen before"

    He also touches on the "angles" myth saying that it only works against stationary targets. He also basically calls Manny mechanical, and predictable. Khan may need to dodge pac****s leading up to the fight.

    Both Mayweather and Pacquiao would Shatter Khan's fragile Glass Jaw in very uncompetitive fights.

    Khan is the last person who should be calling a fighter predictable.

    He's not wrong, though. Pacquiao is predictable. Just less predictable than Khan.
