    Pacquiao is coming off ONE loss, in a fight he was outboxed and took no damage. The only thing hurt would be his ego. Khan has fought 5 light punchers in a row and struggled mightily with Chris "Avocado" Algieri. I don't think the odds stack heavily in Pac's favor, but he's definitely not the underdog.

    On a side note, why are Pac's fans ALWAYS trying to make him the underdog as soon as a fight is close to coming to fruition? It's a trend with every fight.

    I agree with you somewhat but you can't deny Pac has declined and is not the same fighter he use to be if you told me khan vs pac 2010 i would laugh and say Pac destroys him in 2 but today khan can win

    Definitely, Pac has clearly declined. And Khan can win, but I wouldn't call Pac an underdog. It wasn't long ago he put Algieri down 6 times, when Khan almost got put down.

    Could Khan take one of the shots that put Chris down? My answer would be a resounding no.

    I expect Khan to win the opening rounds like he did against Garcia, catch a left hook to te jaw and fold like a deck chair around the 4th.

    His fans will then claim he was 'schooling' Pac and that pacquiao pulled out some sort if Hail Mary/lucky punch out of the bag tht would have KO'd anyone.

    As big of a joke fight as if Floyd had fought him. Maybe even more so since they've sparred and Pac knows exactly what Khan has to offer. From the sparring stories over the years, the answer is very little. It's not like Pac got beat up last fight either, I don't see a need for a tuneup. I'd prefer Crawford at 140 or Brook at 147.

    Khan couldn't beat a 50 yr old Pacquiao. Stop the nonsense.

    Pac could have one arm tied behind his back, coming straight off rehab, with no training camp and I'd still bet Pacquiao KO.

    A bold statement; not one I'd necessarily agree with, either.

    Rather - both Brook and Crawford would starch Khan, in the respective weight divisions.

    I wouldn't say so. He's been reluctant to fight Brook for a reason and Crawford - well we have no idea what his ceiling is yet.

    Your right. Floyd is a multi dimensional fighter as he showed you in this fight. Now stop fanboying over him your starting to sound like MVC
