    I doubt Pac will be able to win a decision on Khan, but it'll be fun to see him try. Khan's never really lost a decision in his entire career. (Peterson was generally seen as a robbery) If this was 2009-2010 Pac, I'd say there was a good chance he'd be able to stop Khan. But now, not as much of a chance. Pac hasn't won a fight by stoppage since 2009.

    Anyone who decides on a result of a twitter poll as their next opponent is an idiot... unless the negotiations were already underway with the poll winner.

    Its not about elusiveness or even not tucking in his chin per say, its his style of fighting is all wrong for the chin he has. He has built in his head his speed is the greatest thing since sliced bread, so when has some success he becomes greedy not releasing his opponent is beginning to time him, the one big right hand and down goes Khan!

    Nope he probably didnt lol. But you have to be fair he cleared up his mess with a second fight. As much as I think his matchmaking was very calculated and he dodged the toughest fights he always went back to clear up his questionable wins.

    This is good and bad lol

    Good because thank God it's not Horn.

    Bad because Khan hasn't done **** and Pac is past his best.

    Being optimistic though, Pac being a bit faded makes this fight competitive and both men are pretty fun to watch most of the time.

    Is this ppv?

    If I knew the poll existed (and was some ***** that used twitter) I'd have voted for Crawford.

    Casuals would pick the name they know the most, hence Khan winning the poll.

    Lol I agree man, I put him as the fighter I secretly like. His vulnerability always makes for an entertaining fight. He will have brain damage if he doesnt stop fighting soon though.

    Eh let the man think it's the biggest fight ever. They are two of the biggest names in boxing. It's not exactly a super fight, but there's nothing wrong with Khan promoting it as a big fight. I think it will do well on PPV. It'll be interesting to compare PPV numbers of GG vs Jacobs, Khan vs Pac, and Canelo vs Chavez. This is going to be a fun couple of months for boxing fans, starting next week with Thurman vs DSG.

    Whats crazy is even though on paper they look good I can only see one conclusive winner all three. Golovkin ko, Pac ko and Canelo points.
