    Sounds about right. Khan's current trainer had to correct him about not having actually sparred with Andre Ward as well.

    Summary:

    In sparring Khan gets the best of Manny for 4 rounds then Manny takes over
    For the 3 years Roach had Khan Manny dropped him in sparring once
    Says Khan's style gives Mayweather problems but he cannot beat Mayweather with it.

    Agreed .. Lets also add another issue he has, the ability to focus. He is so busy looking to fight Floyd that he loses focus on the guy in front of him.. How are you match wits with one of the best fighters in the world if you have trouble staying the in the moment?

    Mentally weak opponents are like cake and ice cream to floyd. Khan may have speed but he does not have the mental capacity to use it correctly, this has been something pointed out by his current trainer as well as other.

    Have I been in a coma for a year, and when I woke up khan has become a terminater ? Before the coma, he was a glass jawed ,break dancer, honestly man he was getting dropped by lighter guys from the start of his career, since he went to fight in u s a , I don't see any difference in his style at all, he still gets dropped by lighter guys and gets sparked by guys far inferior in fighting skills than may weather, why has he not re matched b.presscot, d,Garcia, l.Peterson, and that Irish guy, **** me I m going back in a coma if this is what the world has become. Khan v Brook would be better fight. Good night y all.

    dude its sparring and khan is faster and longer. i bet khan and paq are very competitive in sparring.
    some of you portray paq to be some monster puncher with excellent boxing skills.

    khan handles him with headgear and 16oz mitts.. you said this bout khan and it fits paq to a tee also
    "if his game was well rounded he wouldn't have been on his ass and out cold as often as he has been even despite his chin."

    paq is the single most over rated fighter on esb. a close 2nd is Fury then followed by Lara.

    ask this clown, he knows

    Pac is the greatest fighter of his generation. No one else is close.
