^some great conditioning and plyometric work.
Love the baseball hitting stuff too!

 

Khan is a beast in the gym, heard Pacman's camp don't want Khan to spar or train as the same time as Pacman they seem worried lol.

Well Done Khan even got Pacman's camp thinking this kid is a real threat to us and could be future opponent.

 

Don’t be silly. They’re not “worried” about Khan. They’re running out of fighters to face, so they’re treating Khan as a possible future opponent if no one else is available. In the event of this happening, it’s in their best interest to not allow Khan to familiarize himself with Pacquiao in the ring.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t agree with what they’re doing because I don’t see them ever fighting each other. But if they genuinely believe there’s a slight chance it could happen, then not allowing them to spar is the sensible thing to do. It has nothing to do with fear or worry.

 

Me and you don't see when these guys spar, I heard the last time they sparred Khan got the better of Pacman and even Roach Khan kicked his butt thats a direct qoute.

But it's true they are running out of opponents, but same could be said of Khan when he moves upto 147, It's a Pacman and Mayweather division and Khan as the best fighter at 140 will be entering it.

Shame Khan see's Pacman as a friend and don't ask his team or his team telling don't spar or train with this guy.

 

Khan apparently got his ass kicked by Linares. Does it mean anything? Of course not. Is it even true? Maybe not. But who cares. It's just sparring. It's very normal for a young guy like Khan, eager to impress everyone, to get the better of an established champ like Pacquiao.

And Khan, when he moves up to 147, will not be running out of opponents. He's not a Mayweather or a Pacquiao where his only criteria for choosing someone will be a combination of:

• Being a worthy opponent.
• Ability to draw.

Khan will belong alongside the likes of Ortiz, Berto, Bradley and other welterweights trying to make some noise. He'll be fighting anyone, whether they draw or not, to build his legacy. There will be plenty of opponents like this for him.

 

Ortiz(before Floyd beat him) and Berto, Bradley are live opponents for even Pacman better than fighting JMM at 147 and a Shot Shane for sure.

I am really waiting to see how Khan handles the weight when moves up, I think he will do great at 147.

 

I think it'll do him good moving up, I think we've had enough evidence from his last 5 fights that he looks stronger and more durable at light welter, although I don't think the move up will have a bigger impact then when he moved up from lightweight to light welter.

Khan's got the frame to go up to middleweight at least, if you look at the top guy in the light middleweight such as Alvarez, Cotto and Anuglo; Khan's got the height and reach advantage over them.

Hey the dream match Groves vs Khan could very well happen after all!

 

Ortiz, Berto and Bradley are not better opponents for Pac than JMM - who's going to be fighting at 144, by the way (not that it matters, because the two are relatively the same size). Styles make fights, and JMM with his skills and elite counterpunching, will give Pacquiao a far tougher time than any of those guys.

 

154 will be Khan's limit. And even then, he won't be that effective up there as he will be at 147, and currently is at 140.

 

They said that many times to Pacquiao, but he just kept moving up and getting better.... I'm not saying Khan is Pacquiao, but if you're good enough then you're big enough (to an extent anyway).

 

khan has never sparred with linares.

 

Yeah, but unfortunately, I think Khan may not be that good enough to be the success at 154 that he's been at 140, and could be at 147. It's a big ask for any fighter to be multi-divisional, dominant champion. But we'll have to wait and see. Three years ago, I never envisaged Khan going on to be the top guy of 140. So a lot is possible, I suppose.
