    After effectively having a restraining order put on him by Mayweather, Khan is now turning his attention to Pacquiao, we can now expect another toe curling humiliating pursuit of Manny by the joke that is Amir Khan.

    Manny will knock him out, Mayweather would drop him twice at least and give him a beating over 12, he'd make more money fighting Brook which is 50/50 then fighting to be the heir to the 147 throne... forget these two.

    I don't think Khan cares. All he wants is the payday before it's too late to get one.

    It's a shame Khan has lost all faith in his ability. He's worked hard under Hunter to make changes but this constant cherry picking suggests he now has a losers mentality. He's just hoping to cash out before someone else exposes him.

    He will not be remembered fondly by the British public so he better make as much money as he can, as once he retires I doubt the offers will be rolling in for work like some other fighters when they retired.

    Pacquiao will fight him, Arum has already said that. They're talking January on PPV.

    I really am starting to think this way too. Such a shame, guy has so much talent but is surrounded by such idiots.

    Khan was the one who was just recently contacted by Arum. Both him and Pacquaio have a vested interest in this fight. It's sensible of Khan to keep his options open and will hopefully involve the relinquishing of ties with Al Haymon.

    No need to get melodramatic. He'll be remembered perfectly fine by the British public. Well luckily for Khan he's got a few potential fights that he can cash out on. Only on ESB would Khan be accused of cherry picking, Pacquaio.

    Floyd doesn't punch hard enough to drop even Amir.

    Sure he does.

    It's more a matter of timing than power when it comes to hurting Khan, and Floyd still has the best timing in the business.

    If he can drop Ricky Hatton he can drop Khan.

    A Hatton that didn't have a strategy and ran around like a headless chicken?

    If Khan doesn't fight Manny, Brook, Bradley, Thurman or Garcia next, he really needs to consider retiring. He can't duck the best forever.

    I'd love to see Manny wipe the canvas with Khan. He needs a victory like that to get back on the scene anyways.

    Can see why Arum would be all over this. A brutal KO win over someone with name value is exactly what Pac needs right now if he's going to continue fighting.

    I think Pacquiao would actually hurt Khan very badly.

    100% a Ricky Hatton type scenario, Khan will be in a bad way.
