Anyone give Khan a shot?

Yes I reckon Khan will send pacman into retirement
Khan SHOULD have a great chance, he's younger, he's closer to his prime, but I have never been sold on Amir in the big bouts.

Sure... Khan's got a shot, mostly for the reasons Lyle just mentioned.
I'd still favor Pacquiao, provided his shoulder's 100% by then.
Im going to go against everything Im thinking and say Khan will knock him out. :p
His shoulder is fine.Quote:

Brilliant work from top rank to end career with a pathetic excuse..win or loose.
Haven't heard anything from Arum or Pac . I hope this doesn't happen now, then everyone will know what a complete bunch of twats team Khan are. If the fight does go ahead , Pac by KO!
I favour Khan. Pac's got nothing left for me and won't catch up with Khan if he sticks to his gameplan
Funny thinking it would be Pac that wins because of a (puncher's chance).
He has never done well with mobile boxers.
Khan rarely does well with hard punchers.
3 or so years ago, Pac blasts him out. Today 50/50 either way.
Hmmmm......... not so fast........

Its a fun fight. Some unknowns and variables with both guys. It makes it interesting.
Jeff Powell, probably an ex politician and more than likely a transplant from the USA. ;)Quote:

I think Khan takes it. Barely. Pac is fast. Khan is faster. And he'll use it to his advantage. He'll jump out to an early lead by sticking and moving. Scoring with combinations and moving away. They'll be stretches in where it looks like it will be a one-sided affair. But Khan is Khan. He'll make a mistake somewhere. Pac will catch him and hurt him. If he doesn't finish him, Khan holds on for a points win
Surprise, surprise!Quote:

Powell is the most useless excuse for a sports journalist that there is. He just takes the expenses and free lunches, and prints what the managers/promoters want. He is a disgrace.Quote:

I think it's funny, someone flipping the script and saying they signed a contract against Pac. I hate Amir but his troll game is strong here.Quote:

If the Manny fight is not signed I think Khan will target Garcia, then Peterson and when those fall through Bradley then maybe Brooks as a last resort.Quote:

Out of the 4 fighters you mentioned, and taking into account his Algieri performance, the only one he stands a chance against is Bradley, and that is only if Bradley shows indiscipline and Khan can avoid him for 12 rounds.Quote:

However, if Bradley boxes how he can, he too would wipe the floor with Khan.
I think Khan can beat and would fight Garcia/Peterson to avenge his losses if the Manny fights falls through.
Brooks is too dangerous for Khan.
Arum is stating deal is far from done?
He is no disgrace if what you say is true; he is living my dream, the jammy git!Quote:

Really? Why is everyone saying Crawford-Pac is in the works?
Arum playing games to get the best deal, probably playing a number of fighters at the same time.Quote:
