Super_A Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Look at the guys Pacquiao's fought since his last KO though guys like Bradley, Marquez, Mosley and Mayweather they never get stopped even guys like Cotto, Margarito and Rios hardly get stopped. He dropped Vargas and Algieri (6 times?). His power's obviously nowhere near what it was at the lower weights but he's still got more than enough power to stop Khan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 What a number Pacquiao did on Cotto..same with Diaz and Margarito.His punching in all of those fights had a tremendous accumulative effect rather than just sheer knockout power. He won't have lost that, he stays in shape between fights and is a clean living guy so still very much a threat to anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 You only have to look at the difference in performances against Margarito and his recent fights. He's been on the slide for years now, and can't train properly with his political duties.Still dangerous but I'd favour the younger faster Khan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Aye, no doubt that he's seen his best days in the ring..it's a really tasty matchup. Khan has been pretty inactive himself, and had his family shit kicking off, but age is on his side... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Khan's glass jaw is over played. No shame in getting KOd by Alvarez especially the vast weight disadvantage. Garcia has a lovely left hook and Prescott could clearly bang- even if he was extremely limited. Khan's fault isn't his chin, it's his concentration, ability to stick to a game plan and not get dragged into stupid macho stuff and walk on to punches.There are few bigger bangers than Maidana about and Khan too his best. The margins in boxing are minuscule. A couple of inches either way and plenty of other fighters could be accused of having "glass jaws". If you box you get punched. If you're wreckless like Khan then you increase your chances of getting KOd. I don't particularly like Khan but he can never be accused of being a ducker- his resume puts to shame Kell Brook's or any other UK fighter in recent years (aside from Froch). He will retire knowing he took on every challenge and exactly how good he was and exactly where his limitations were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Tedious build up to this, probably the worst Matchroom have done. Seems to be getting some traction with the people I know who generally only watch Joshua. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Haye claimed that some of the crowd shouted racial insults at him. I couldn't hear what was being shouted in the clip of the presser but given the absolute state of some of the fans you get in these 'grudge' matches then it wouldn't surprise me. Imagine that was your life though: "what did you do today Dave?" "I went to a press conference and shouted racist abuse at someone" "Oh" "Yes" Add the fact that Bellew is mixed race then you have a perfect storm of stupidity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That "press conference" was easily the worst I've seen, but it's definitely creating interest in the fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Will be round at my mates on Saturday. I've said I'll pay the PPV if I win my midweek bet. Small part of me hopes I lose as it'll be a shitfest surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksandr Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I despise Haye but a 30 second KO of Bellew to show it up as the mismatch it is would be pleasing. I'm away for the weekend and far far more gutted to be missing Garcia Thurman than any of the matchroom card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I used to really like Nelson and still think his analysis is quite good most of the time but he's coming away with this shit more and more.

J_Stewart Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 It's his job. Pre-fight his job is to sell the fights so people buy them, if he says "Bellew/Brook have absolutely no chance, it's a sham fight, no point watching it" then he'll be out on his ear quicker than Fast Eddie can sing the words to Neil Diamond tracks.As long as he's subjective and honest after the fight then I've no problem with the bullshit in the lead up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there was a few racist shouts but the one I heard clear as day was "get back to the jungle". I hope David Haye absolutely destroys Bellew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Rumours all over twitter that Haye is pulling out with an Achilles injury. will be absolutely gutted if he does. Not because I want to see the fight, but because they'll likely only postpone it to a later date, Bellew will be even more of an insufferable wankrag, and then they'll have to 'build' it again. That would be absolutely fucking horrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
