Amir Khan: Manny Pacquiao Can't Knock Me Down!

I love it!!

I hope for Khan's sake that he realises he is talking shite.

[skel1983]

On a serious note, Khan just needs to shut the fuck up get his head down and concentrate on Maidana.

[Gandalf]

Haha, Khan is a natural born comedian. When Hatton gets out of rehab they should go on the comedy circuit together.

I mean sparring is sparring. It's not as if they are going all out and of course Khan is going to be wearing that wopping great thing on his head. Just maybe Manny held back a bit because of Khan's chinny reputation. Pac is a nice guy, you don't want to slaughter the new stablemate.

Is this going to be one of those threads where the majority over-react to a complete non-story?

[Gandalf]

"I’m not being forced into this fight, I forced myself into this fight"

The quote above just seems really weird to me. If he forced himself into the fight, then surely that means he didn't really want to fight him? Which would in turn suggest that he was kind of forced into the fight.

It doesn't quite add up nor make complete sense.

[Gandalf]

Maybe he could have said, "I wasn't pushed into this fight, it was me that pushed for this fight". That would make more sense. Otherwise, I just find what he said a bit of a jumble.

It wouldn't be Saddo's if that didn't happen.

Reporter asks Khan about Maidana's power, Khan says he's not worried because he handles Pac's power sparring, everyone slates him. Same old same old.

Funny pics though

No one would slate the kid if he didn't utter things like, "I can beat Pacquiao in a fight," "I can end Mayweather's unbeaten streak," when really he has yet to beat a top 3 guy in any division he has fought. Concentrate on Maidana and then see if he can beat the winner of Bradley-Alexander.

There's nothing wrong with shit talking or confidence, but when you're still largely unproven and thinking you can take 2 of the best figthers of this era, then it becomes comedic.

Actually. Amir didn't do bad at all in this footage...

In fact, he owned Manny in that round.

I hear Buboy Fernandez saying "atras sa lubid".

Sounds to me they were training Manny to exchange while his back against the rope.

I don't hate Khan, if anything i'm a fan... But i just had to put this up!!!


What is it about his legs

But come on now, Pac is hardly going all out is he?

He was training for a particular situation and Khan was trying to apply what was set. Pac would have no agenda to destroy his sparring partner in this particular instance.

You know he could if he wanted to.

Lol sparring is different from boxing... Its as simple as that

[JazMerkin]

I often see this cited as a reason. Let's be clear, headguards serve as a minimal benefit when taking shots. If you get hit clean, it really won't help that much. I've sparred with & without one, & the only real benefit is it lessens the impact of shots to the temple. Getting hit clean on the nose or chin with that on, doesn't really make that big a difference.

The key way they help is that you largely avoid cuts from headclashes/stray elbows. What makes way more of a difference imo is the ounceage of glove being used. The difference between being hit by a 16oz glove & a 10oz glove is far more noticeable than the headguard. Anyway, while he says Pac hasn't dropped him, I have heard from someone who trains at the Wild Card that Jose Benavidez dropped Khan, although not badly.

[Hornfinger]

So something designed to prevent cuts, stopped him from being put down. Wow, way to sum up your boxing knowledge.
