Top Dog you are so right brother. Putting Khan in with Pacman would be like leading a lamb to slaughter. Khan and his fans are delusional. I am not sure that Khan is the best lightweight in Britain. I mean he struggled with a Michael Gomez that has seen much better days. Hell based on last night performance and how strong and comfortable he was at 135 pounds I can envisage him doing Hatton at 140 pounds.
So can I, and I'm a big fan of Ricky. I see no reason why Hatton-Pacman would be anything but a competitive fight. Pac weighed 147 too.
At this moment in time, Pac KO2. Maybe in a years time, assuming Khan matures (style wise) it could go for 6,7 before Pac winning by KO.
Ricky was so open against Lazcano I'd fear for him against any good puncher. Hopefully he'd perform and take Pac out, but I'm no longer sure.
Changed my mind. Pac looks even better at the higher weight but the good news for Khan is that it shows that Casamyor/Diaz/Campbell are nothing special.
Nate Campbell is even older than Casamoyor and has lost to very mediocre fighters and Juan Diaz lost to Campbell. Of corse they are not **** but this division was nothing spectacular until Pac stepped up.
atsch right now Khan would get smashed by Casa, Campbell.......and he would get knocked out in NO TIME against Pac.
Very true:good With Pac, Marquez and Guzman moving up LW is arguably the best division in boxing at the moment (between it and WW, even with the retirement of PBF). Khan may need to take it easy on the world title talk, because he would get the **** beat out of him by the majority of the top 10 at LW as of now. I know that David Diaz has his limitations but, Jesus Christ, what a performance by Pac. Manny struggles against slick boxer types (like Marquez); Amir Khan is not in this mould. True, Morales (who is not a slick boxer type) gave him trouble, but the Morales that beat Pac in the first fight is a legendary Mexican fighter; Khan isn't on that level.
Amir Khan right now, couldn't stand with Campbell, Juan Diaz, Pacman, Casamayor and I doubt even David Diaz. Maybe he should consider Thaxton, Romanov & Katsidis first before he starts spoutin off about Pacquiao. I doubt he'll even go there soon though.
diaz is a very basic fighter hes strungled with journeyman and hes gotten lucky in fights like the KO of santa cruz a fight in which he was behind on all 3 cards, the fight on paper should be easy for khan
