Khan gets the BETTER of Pac sparring. Fact.

[Fenster]

Well.. not quite (sorry).

From Freddy Roach..

'Manny appreciates the quality of the sparring, and there's a little bit of an ego thing, always in boxing. Amir usually gets the best of Manny at the beginning, and Manny usually gets the best at the end, because he wears him down a little bit. But Manny's learning how to deal with the speed of the jab - and this is the important part for Manny - and Amir is holding his own with the world champion and doing well with him.'

This is a good article.

What was Amir Khan wearing American Football headgear ?

[Fenster]

Pac couldn't handle the speed...'Too fast!' he says of Khan's left lead. 'He is going to be a great fighter, believe me.'

Thought it was a great read.

It's amazing where confidence can come from and what it can do to a fighter or person.

Hopefully, Amir IS what some of us think he is.

been saying the same for a while.

I still feel Kahns a future world champ, and his attitude since his defeat only goes on to enhance what I believe..

just imagin if kahn had a chin like margarito, the boy would be unstopable....

[OumaFan]

Khan just needs to work on his defense, worry about things he can control. Its an underrated problem for him, all the talk is about his chin but he's too easy to hit, and easy to hit with big wide shots that he doesn't see. He gets too wild, he comes unglued too easily. A lot of nervous energy.

And if i had SRR skills i would never lose too many if's in this thread.

Great article Fenster, it sounds like Amir has got the best possible set up now, I mean being the chief sparring partner for Manny Pacquaio as he trains for the biggest fight of the year has got to be good for his game.

I didn't know Gary stretch worked for Roach, it will be interesting to see him in Amir's corner when he fights Fagin.

Will SOB be in Fagin's corner? If so will Andrew be holding the spittoon and will SOB be chomping on his cigar?

I'd love to see that.

[gudnite vienna]

im just stating the point that Amir has some of the best Skills in boxing right now..

[bambamdaddio]

Agree with ya bud .. and likewise if margo had the boxing skill/speed of kahn he too would be unstopable ... Plus Kahns a young un still learning and working his way thru the pro world

[Kirkland Laing]

Khan has amazing boxing skills but unfortunately you're not allowed to fight for a world championship with a headguard on. Frank Warren is scared to put him in with lightweights and Khan is already tight at 135. There's no way he can handle light-welters' power so he's got trouble ahead. If he ever does get in the ring with an elite lightweight his chin is going to get tested again and I think we all know what the result of the test will be.

[Youngblood]

Can't learn a chin. Either have one or you don't.

Is a shame really, because I have followed Khan for a while and he is loaded with skill and speed and I'd like to see him succeed.

Hope he's proves me wrong, but I doubt it.

In a full on fight Pac would spark out Khan inside of 20 seconds.
