At this point and time which is the harder fight for Floyd? Manny or Khan?

Pacquiao.

Khan is a b.s. fight and I'm glad this fight is taking place.

 

Khan in my opinion

I'm starting to feel that Pacquiao will not have much success but I do think that Khan has a very realistic chance of defeating Mayweather

 

If Khan beats him, is he P4P #1?

 

I like how Khan fans say that Khan has never been outboxed.
When has Floyd been outboxed in 17 years? Not even counting losses, Khan has had pedestrian victory on quite a number of occasions

 

And, it's not like Khan's opponents were master boxers. Malignaggi and Judah lost their biggest fights, and Alexander had already lost to Bradley and Porter, and got gifts over Kotelnik and Matthysse.

 

It's always a "bad luck" or "Khan got too brave" when he gets caught with a big shot. For one, it's boxing, and big punches land, it's part of the sport. Moreover, Khan makes a lot of technical errors, so of course he's gonna get hit.

Khan was ahead of Garcia by a whopping margin of 2 rounds to 0. Garcia always looks to time and his left hook. Khan makes many defensive errors. So Garcia lands his left hook and it's "he got lucky, Khan never gets outboxed!, he was up 2-0!". This wasn't exactly Hearns-Barkley 1 where one guy was being brutalized to the body and cut to the face before rallying.

Against Maidana, a lot of rounds Khan won by closer margins than people say, if you actually watch it carefully, a lot of his eye-catching flurries were just showy but barely landing. But it's "oh he was dominating Maidana before he got brave and traded". He was jabbing and BACKING UP in the 10th when he got hurt. How is it "getting too brave and trading" when you are on the retreat??

Although I am critical of Khan, it's less to do with Khan and more the fact that I just don't like when people underrate/overrate fighters based on speed (and other attributes too). Just because a guy is fast, it doesn't mean he's a technical master, and doesn't mean the other guy got "lucky". Timing is part of boxing. Defense is part of boxing. Fighters time Khan, take advantage of his leaky defense, and it's "oh they got lucky". No, they did their job and got their punches through, using their strengths and Khan's weaknesses.

 

We heard the same utter ****e after he went to 140 and beat Paulie.

The ONLY thing that has changed is that the cherry picking of opponents has stepped up to unimaginable levels.

Every time Khan get's sparkled, he changes trainer, beats a feather-fisted opponent and is suddenly a completely new boxer.

Until Khan rematches his KO conquerors, or beats a proven elite fighter with a punch, there is NO EVIDENCE whatsoever of him being a new fighter, NONE.

His latest opponent is an embarrassment.

 

Both easy fights.

 

Roger, Floyd Snr both think Khan is the harder fight.
