    Amir Khan has gone on record to state that he would have no problems fighting former friend Manny Pacquiao, should his coveted fight with Floyd Mayweather fail to materialise.

    "I'd fight Manny," said Khan.

    "Look, it's business. We are friends and respect each other, but I would definitely consider the fight, and I am sure he would too. To bring it to Dubai, too, that would be huge. I am ready for whatever. Have I ever turned down a fight? Never. I fight whoever is put in front of me."

    The comments has surfaced with the news that Khan has put his signature on the Mayweather fight contract, but that the contract has yet to be signed and agreed by Floyd himself.

    Mayweather has recently taken to social media to publish three mock up photographs of him beating up Khan, Pacquiao and Maidana - in an effort to hype the media that he has one of them next in his sights.

    If Floyd does choose Maidana next, it will be a cynical move. If it's Khan then that will be seen as a 'safety first' approach.

    Problem number one - Top Rank & Golden Boy cold war ensures fight will never, evvveeer take place.

    Problem number two - should a miracle somehow happen (and it won't because Khan's not a draw) Khan needs to live with the fact that the sight of him on Bambi legs and then asleep on the canvas within the first 30 seconds of round one would be YouTube's most watched video for years to come.

    Perhaps he could get their sponsorship and put the YouTube logo on the soles of his boots?

    Pacquiao would likely kill Amir Khan i'd actually fear for Khan's safety he would get the same as Hatton. Not much point having money if your brain damaged Amir at least against Floyd won't get brutally Ko'd Pacquiao would have the power to badly hurt him.

    Getting knocked out by 1 punch is better for your health than taking a beating for 12 rounds. You should worry for Rios's health.

    Khan has turned down a fight. He turned down Alexander. Furthermore, it's highly unlikely he will be getting a fight against Pacquiao anytime soon. TR + GB = No fight.
