Malignaggi called the pac/may fight spot on, doesn't go as far as saying khan would win, but thinks he's a serious threat, I'd back hunter as a better tactician than roach, but i very much doubt khan has the intelligence to beat floyd over 12, but paulie makes an interesting argument, and he is worth listening to as a pundit

He has a style that could give him problems, he just has a tendency to walk into haymakers.

I Think he's a great pundit actually , really grown into the role . The intelligence is interesting as I think Khan looks more composed recently and when he does lose it tends to be when hit with the big shots which I'm not sure would happen against floyd. Again I'm not saying him I fancy him to win but he certainly has the attributes to cause problems .

I agree , again , on hunter and although it's my opinion as well it's only fair to say I've heard a few saying the same and being critical of Roach this fight and his corner work in this fight . Roach had an incredible And deserved reputation but he didn't do much to bring Khan on , other than physically , and for the life of me I can't work out what his plan was in this fight .

roach does a good job, but I think in reality he only trains his fighters one way, with hunter khan lunges in a lot less, with his speed and reach the main thing that should be drilled into him is to control the range, which I think hunter is doing based on what I've seen. As you say mate when khan gets tagged he loses the plot a little bit and doesn't really know how to survive when scrambled, if he can dictate the range he can cause problems, but it's so hard to find a rhythm against floyd, he is brilliant at taking that away from fighters
 

Anyone who was surprised how this fight went Prob doesn't follow boxing, it was highly predictable even for me.

Anyone fuming about it prob paid good money to watch it expecting something they were never going to see.

Anyone thinking it was the wrong decision prob lost money betting on it.

Anyone thinking it was a good fight is prob a boxing ' purist' and has been taught how to box in a gym.

Anyone who thought It was a shity fight would prob be happier watching bells knocking [Poor language removed] out of each other in concert square.

it was what it was and was always going to be. For me it was slightly disappointing but not in the least bit surprising.

Sound yeah. It was crap that Hearns vs Hagler fight wasn't it! I mean they actually punched each other.

Come on now. I know enough about boxing to admire the skill on display, but to suggest it wasn't a let down is being silly.

manny was a let down . Maidana give Mayweather far more trouble .

Mayweather fought like always does. Smart

Manny and Freddie roach's 'plan' were the only let down

I did say it was slightly disappointing. If I would have been expecting a crowd pleasing fight I would have been disappointed even more but I wasn't expecting that, it's not what Mayweather is about his previous fights tell you that mate and Manny was never going to get his own way with him, so it was predictable. I don't really think it's a good spectacle either and your entitled to criticise Mayweather all you want. I have done previously myself saying I think he seems to lack the desire to stop his opponents. In essence it was only a let down if you were expecting something else.
 

2-300 punches landed in a fight in a massive ring is dull as frick. There's been some truly great counter punchers along the decades. I doubt they all got the chance to box in a ring the size of a football pitch
