is Khan the next Oscar De La Hoya ?

Yes, when Pacquiao retires he'll be a powerbroker in boxing. He's proving his detractors wrong like Pacquiao's way.

 

No he runs to much, oscor never ran that much, oscor stayed in the center of the ring, look at khan, he trained with pacman, then what does he do, acts like pacman in the ring, rasing his arms in the same mannor as manny, seemes like a roach/manny trained seal with skills, a good sparring partner for manny. Marcos was little to wild, when he did set up his upper cuts, it was diffrent khan he was fighting, one who lacked the confidence, an was hurt. yea maybe in the UK he can be the next hatton. But who to say khan would win a rematch.. Saying this, when khan is on the outside, he will be very hard to beat.

 

Oscar had better counterpunching skills than Khan and fought more elite early on. You could tell Oscar was the cream of the crop even when he had 5 fights. Khan is good, but not as developed as Oscar was.

 

u cant even carry Larry Holmes jock strap! quit goin on about jock strap's u silly jock strap lol!

 

I agree with Leon and this post.
Many people undervalue the opponents Oscar beat because he went through them so quickly. I also think Oscar would have ko'd Maidana quickly.

 

Did this fight though remind anyone else of De la hoya vs Tito?

Of course it was exciting whereas the other wasn't, but the general outline was the same as the styles (kind of) with the boxer running from the puncher at the end.

 

I can see where you are coming from but its only a loose comparison I feel.

 

Khan is in the right neighborhood

Oscar built his legend beating greats like Chavez Vargas Mayorga Quartey list goes on

and heroically fought Moseley twice and almost beat Tito

Khan has Alexander Bradley Floyd Manny Cotto Margarito Williams Martinez Juanma Gamboa all within a few weights above or below he knocks off atleast half those guys and hes a star

 

How the **** can Khan be compared to De La Hoya after Saturday night !!!
