Re: Khan gets the BETTER of Pac sparring. Fact.
I've already said this, you put a helmet and big gloves on Amir Khan beats almost every champion out there. He beat one of the best amateur fighters ever in Kindelan. Take off the helmet his one weakness, his chin is exposed.
Of course this is biased shit that is likely miswording what is actually happening the media always does that to better suit their purposes, and this being a Brittish website/whatever the point is to make Amir Khan look good, and all that being said take away Pacquaio power with protective gear on and AMir Khan would of course cause troubles, I think he probably the best pure technical fighter Pacquaio ever been in with sparring or otherwise(sorry JMM but your easier to hit and not quite as fast or accurate). Also Khan is very tall at 5'9 or 5'10, and like I said the fastest guy Pacquaio probably has ever been in there with, and if Pacquiao is slightly faster, then that is negated by the straighter punching of Amir Khan and the fact that Khan is so much taller.
Also why are people giving Khan so much heat for getting knocked out, did it not happen to David Haye as well?

Re: Khan gets the BETTER of Pac sparring. Fact.
Taeth are you on drugs? Are you kidding me? Khan harder to hit then JMM are you shitting me right now or did I read that wrong? Hopefully I just read it wrong.
Re: Khan gets the BETTER of Pac sparring. Fact.
He will be a world champion. Simple as.
It's no surprise he handled Pac well. His chin and his defence are poor but i'm sure he's working on his defence.
A KO loss was always likely to happen when you're fighting infront of massive crowds on prime time tv in the fights where you are supposed to be learning. Learning tends to go out of the window when you are expected to put on a show. You take more risks. He did, and look what happened.
I'm sure he'll bounce back.

I'm sure he'll bounce too. Just a matter of how high, largely depending on the spring of the ring he is in. :-X

Just not hearing ya on this. The guy literally has NO chin, zero ability to absorb a flush shot from anyone capable of breaking eggs. There is always going to be pressure on him to succeed yes, and big crowds can be tough on a young fighter, but if he hasn't gotten used to it yet he never will. I don't doubt it has a lot to do with nerves and he could be harder to hit if he just relaxed... But still not hard enough I reckon. He really has the sort of chin no style can compensate for imo.
