He went life and death with a shot to pieces Morales, sorry he loses to Pac. Also was getting outboxed by glass jawed Khan before landing the left hook, Amirs speed was really troubling him early.... Pac boxes circles around him, Garcia wins a few rounds at most.....
Certainly won the opening frames. Just dont think thats enough sample.
I'm not sold on Garcia being a fearsome puncher.... KO'ing Khan, and old Morales isn't all that impressive. His power is average at best for a world level fighter... He's got a nice left hook, but that's about it.
It may be a stretch to say he "struggled" with Khan, I guess it just depends on how you look at it. It's not much of a sample.
I wouldn't say his opening round struggles signified he was going to get his ass beat for 12 rounds or anything. But he definitely looked a bit puzzled by Khan's hand speed in those opening rounds. He may have turned it around without the knock out, who knows. I do think it's something worth noting though.
Life and death with Morales-So did Maidana.
Pac got stopped by Marquez, who Floyd schooled.
You can't really base how a fighter will do against a guy based on a fight with a completely different fighter.
Manny doesnt drop him imo. If he wins its a narrow decision.
Khan's hands are just as fast as Manny's. Angles are a different story but youre reaching.
Angle and how it's thrown. Watch how pacman throws his punches. He is a southpaw but sometimes he throws his punches just as he's rolling to avoid a punch and tags his opponent at the same time. He always gets the better of the exchange because of this. Watch closely when he's planting he's feet and deliver a straight left. This is the harder punch, not because he puts power on it but because both feet is planted, he's not rolling and it's going to land first when his opponent throws a hook - aside from the fact that he is pretty damn accurate with it. Khan on the other hand will throw multiple jabs to land a powerful straight behind it. That's the reason Khan has problems with power punchers. Because as soon as they slip from one of his punches, he will be left open to a hook because he doesn't roll or take a side step. Watch the breidis fight and watch the garcia fight. JMM is pacman's kryptonite because he is the best counter puncher pacman has ever faced.

Thanks, I had never seen Manny fight.
I'm stating the obvious which somehow doesn't stick well to unthinking minds and keep insisting that Manny & Khan are one and the same.
I simply feel Danny gets slept on. Hes a better boxer and a better puncher than he gets credit. And lastly, the kid is tough as fuck.
Danny has a great chin. He walked through some serious shots from Matthysse. The only thing I'll add is that he kind of has to be tough because he's not all that hard to hit. He should probably tighten-up his defense before he moves up in weight because he could end up with serious head injuries.
