Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
Just reading fightnews and reading amir khans views on Manny pacquiao and advising him on retirement. Is it just me or is Amir being a bit of a dick to manny? He also said that he would beat Amir? Why is he saying this to him and about him? If that was my friend saying that to me, I personally don't think I would be his friend anymore...
Think Amir is a bit rash with these comments, no doubt what so ever manny is still one of the best fighters around and no doubt he would still knock out Amir. Manny still has a lot to offer to boxing and IMO still offers one of the biggest threats to Mayweather.
I think Amir should show manny a bit more respect, way out of line these comments IMO.
Re: Amir Khans on Manny pacquiao...
Khan is just trying to talk his way into a fight with Mayweather or Pacquiao.
Pacquiao's team certainly seems to have lost interest in fighting Floyd after his performance against Marquez, so I think Khan is just being opportunistic.
Re: Amir Khans on Manny pacquiao...
I don't like the son of a bitch but if he does think he is getting the better of him, maybe he is trying to make the fight.
Khan beats him (I doubt it will happen!!) he becomes huge in boxing, multi million £$£$£ fights after it.
Re: Amir Khans on Manny pacquiao...
I think they are only poor comments if you take away the context in which the comments were said. On paper they look poor, but in actual fact they're responses to questions.
After commentating on the fight and objectively scoring the fight in Marquez's favour, he can hardly say Pacquiao deserved to win anyway. And he is completely right (and Manny would most likely agree) - if he were to fight as poorly as that against Mayweather, he would lose badly.
Khan said Pacquiao should retire 'if his out of the ring commitments are distracting him inside the ring' and again, he is correct.
Re: Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
one bad night at the office against a great p4p fighter and Khan is telling him retire ?!?!?
if Manny had of been sparked out in a round by Breidis Prescott or was hanging on for dear life against Maidana id have understand his concern :rolleyes:
Re: Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
I have already posted that Pacquaio was lacklustre and look well off his game against Marquez. This was largely due to Marquez himself who fought his best fight since fight 2 against Pacquaio. I have no doubt Marquez really lifted himself for this fight, however he did expose us all to some doubt over Pacquaio going into 2012. The Pacman's next fight will tell the story of where he's at, i'm not sure he really wants another Marquez fight (overkill?)
Floyd is sitting back and just waiting for the many wars of Manny Pacquaio to take it's toll.
Amir Khan is circling like a vulture nearby, he better be careful, he might bite off more than he can chew.
Re: Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
Khan's just trying to get himself a big paid day and a big beating if he does step in with pac of floyd.

I never thought Khan had an IQ above that of an earth worm, and try not to listen to anything he has to say. I look forward to seeing someone do another "Prescott" on his ass.

Just because he should have lost to Marquez who he in the past has proved to be Pacquiaos toughest opponanent why does that all of a sudden mean he has to retire? There is no doubt in my eyes that Pacquiao would do a number on so many top ranked fighters around these days Khan included. Just because Khan is saying he might get the upper hand in sparring how does the merit Khan thinking he would beat Pacquaio in a fight? I would love to see Khan survive with Pacquiao with 8oz gloves and no head gear...
He said that if Pacquiao's out of the ring distractions are effecting his in the ring performances, then he should retire. I don't think that's disrespectful.

Khan lacks skill and excitement, he hasn't done enough to have the mouth he has.
The reason he wants floyd is his low work rate only, bertowould demolish khan
Khan got crazy skills. No chin!!!
crazy skills.. haha Khan does not have exceptional skills. It's just ok..
If he wasn't blessed with speed, he's nothing.

He said that as well as saying he's not good enough and saying that he would beat him. All round low blow to Manny IMO. Fair enough he said he lost because Khan is telling the truth but to say that he would beat him and he should retire due to the performance is bullshit IMO. who's Khan? Mannys future advisor? I dont think so...
Have you got the quotes. Not being a cunt, i've just not seen them yet. Only saw the one where he said he wouldn't beat Mayweather on that form.

If you go on fightnews.com its the latest Amir khan story, it's still on the main page I'm on my iPhone and it doesn't give the link if you paste it in for some reason.
Here's that link:
Boxing - Amir Khan says Manny Pacquiao lost, should retire
Re: Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
They do have the same trainer and strenght conditionner, honestly, I just see that as a wild card's trick so people will think that Manny is way worst than what he really is. Deceiving trick, nothing more, nothing less.
Re: Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
I think there is a falling out between Khan and Manny, they have limited sparring now possibly because they may fight one another some day, Khan said Manny lost the fight and should retire. Khan is being vocal and says what he thinks, so credit him for that, but Roach will choose Manny if he had too over Khan. Amir seems desperate to get a fight with Floyd before Manny does.
Re: Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
When you see someone in the gym everyday he becomes more human. You see him on bad days and good and you begin to believe you can beat him. There are guys that light it up in sparring at the Wild Card that can't fight on the big stage. Pacquiao is not known as a great gym fighter. I am sure Khan gives as good as he gets when he spars Pacquiao.
Khan has great speed but he over runs his combinations and he can't seem to get out of that habit. That is not going to work against a Marquez, Pacquiao or Mayweather. He beats Ortiz, Berto, Rios and most everyone else though.
Re: Amir Khans view on Manny pacquiao...
Considering the opponents, his style(YAWN) and his chin, one would have to believe that this sack of air is just doing this to signify that his gauntlet has been tossed into the circle. Mr. Khan is not Mr. Excitement and he should fight someone with balls and that is Bradley, Before you talk tough and spew wisdom you have to be tough and have experience I'm climbing down off my soap box now because I really don't see how dicks like Khan don't get nosebleeds at that height.
