I fucking despise both David Haye and Tony Bellew. A pair of absolute fucking arseholes. A double knockout leading to dual retirement would be pleasant.

or Tyson Fury could knock the pair of them out in the car park on their way into the arena......

I think Khan beats Pacquiao. Don't think Pac will have the power to knock him out and he looked pretty slow against Vargas.

 

You don't need much power to knock Khan out, just the ability to land a decent amount of punches to his head.

Pacquiao hasn't knocked anyone out since 2009 tbf.

 

Willie Limond nearly knocked him out and he didn't have a stellar record of stopping low level fighters when they fought.

Khan has strengthened a fair bit since then but Limond is more than a fair bit away from Pacman, Khan may well beat Manny but it'll almost certainly come about by making Manny miss a high % of his power punches not by going toe to toe and taking loads of punishment.

Khan has definitely improved as a fighter since the days of Limond, Prescott etc but he has some inbuilt macho thing where he always goes gung ho at some point in a fight. If he boxes smartly throughout the whole fight he could well beat Pacquiao, but a lapse in concentration is likely to see him in Alvarez territory.

Difficult to know how much is left in Pacquiao's tank, obviously in his prime he would've taken Khan out without too much thought.
