Trainer Freddie Roach presses for Malignaggi

They could have a good draw at the theater at MSG.:smooch

 

I'll accept that...

 

MSG on March 6th, same day as Pac Mayweather?

 

Good point right here.

 

Khan will win. Pauli plays around too much.

 

Boy oh boy, another fighter who cant crack? Boy, expect Diaz, guzman, and a giant pillow as Khans next 3 opponents.

 

He wants Khan to pound Paulie for talking smack.

 

I wouldve watched Khan Vs Bradley.

Looks like Freddie will Cherry pick a good path
for Khan and avoid solid punchers.

Bradley isnt a noted puncher, but his relentless pressure
wouldve been a risk for Khan.

I like Amir Khan as a person, but as a boxer, I look forward
to seeing him being KO'd again, only because he doesnt risk
himself against big punchers - because we all know what happens.

Bradley represents everything Khan doesnt inside the ring.

 

Freddie will cherry pick? Hang on a minute, hasn't he been pushing for a US debut, and possible future opponents in Zab, Paulie, JMM, Bradley and Maidana? How is that cherry picking? Don't you consider these guys to be good fighters?

Remember, he was blown away little over a year ago, and for him to come back to where he is now, I think he deserves full credit as a fighter. At just 23, Khan is still green, and I personally don't think he should be holding a belt just yet. He's 2/3 years away from his peak, and until then I think he deserves to be brought up step by step.

Basically what I'm saying is....he's still a soft baby, and hasn't had the chance to put himself up against the top notch fighters. He's still got 8/9 years left in his career for crying out loud! Be patient.

 

Yes- this fight deserves the garden. You have a new york fighter who is loved by his city who is fighting someone from across the pond, which by the way- UK fans are much less lame than american fans in that they will actually get on a plane and take off over seas!

Anyhow- you have a bright shining up and comer getting in there against another title-ist tier fighter! This is a huge fight for the weightclass and can dictate both of their legacies as well as establish the future of the weightclass. Belts on the line! These fighters have all eyes on them and can have very fortuitous futures in boxing. It is perfect and absoLUTEly deserving of the garden.

 

not many fighters who can crack around Khan other than Maidana

 

hmm says . . .

I'ld love to see this fight happen.. both are fast... one probably a little faster in terms of handspeed. One a slickster but with questionable power..... both young and looking to take off from something big..
I favor Khan but I can see PM possibly winning off a SD. Both styles pose problems for each other.

make it happen

 

What stands out is the mooted fight date for a possible Khan-Malignaggi bout. March 6th is one week prior to March 13th, which looks likely to be the date for Pacquiao-Mayweather!

Freddie is a great trainer, but you would have thought that going into the biggest fight of his career, Pacquiao would want Roach's services to himself!

 

Very smat fight for Khan

Paulie has no power, an ex 140lb champ, ex IBF belt holder, big name in the states and a B level fighter

Sounds like the pefect opponent

 

Freddie Roach likes to talk Khan up, bringing him to the US will
increase his fan base and give him every chance to become a big
name, now any real fan of boxing is going to want to see Khans
chin tested sooner rather than later - instead of watching Khan
outspeed guys who he knows cannot do any damage to him.

Id love to see Khan fight Bradley, but I suspect he will stick to
the safety first approach and chase a fight with Malignaggi or
another low risk KO puncher and its for that reason that Id like
to see Khan get KO'd..
