    According to Alex Ariza, Khan will be training alongside Pac in the Philippines, but they will NOT be sparring together. Why are they being kept apart if they're never going to fight each other?

    I doubt it. Even if Pacquiao doesn't retire after Bradley he only has a few fights left, Khan has other business to take care of, and I doubt that one of Pac's last fight will be against his former sparring partner.

    Why would they spar? Bradley is very much an inside fighter and, as Khan proved in the Peterson fight, he really isn't.

    nearly 10 year age difference

    Khan will be 'prime' in the next year after his move to 147, then no more excuses for bad performances as far as i'm concerned as a fan of his.

    Pac retiring within 2 years easily... before end of 2013.

    Khan and Pac will never happen.

    as far as sparring...they will only do it if pac wants to (as he is the boss lol) just for fun not for fight prep... no benefit whatever for them to spar for prep for their next fights.

    In the meantime enjoy this this:

    Pacquiao works the mid range like a boss will KO Bradley's ass.
    Khan gets rather exuberant in this sparring and doesn't mind trying to mix it up with pac

    doesn't Khan do too much damage to him in sparring?
     
  8. Khan wants osdt now. So Pac is out of the question.

    Where did you hear that from???????? Source?
     
  10. Recent twitter posts/interview about how he and Peterson are taking the test. He is now also blabing on about cleaning up the sport of boxing. Cant take the lime light off top athlete in boxing dominating the game for 15 years big time philantrophist Floyd of course.

    not now, Khan had his chance.

    He wants to retire early so hes not going to hang around to get another chance 5 years from now in some millionth Floyd comeback. Good decision, his speed will fade early.

    Pacquiao vs a gbp fighter? Absolutely no chance. If Khan was on Top Rank then it would very likely happen.

    They are not sparring because the buzz about the wild card has died down and they are no longer the showcase they once were, neither of them has had a fight against someone simular tothe other for it to be actual useful sparring
