    It's stupid.

    The two will help each other massively in preperation for their respective bouts. Pacquiao's the best southpaw in the business, and Khan's got the speed to match Mosley's. Roach has always said that he uses Khan to force the best out of Manny and bring his speed and timing up to where it should be.

    Khan fights nothing like Mosley so what would be the point? It's not like Manny hasn't dealt with speed before

    He doesn't fight like Margarito either, but that didn't stop Pac getting useful sparring from him for his last fight. Khan's speed forces Pac to be on his toes and bring the best out of him. Roach has said this plenty of times.

    He's tall, like Mosley.
    He's fast (faster), like Mosley.
    Orthodox, like Mosley.
    Will put on the Pressure, like Mosley will.

    Khan is actually a crucial sparring partner for Pacquiao in this camp, just like Pacquiao is for Khan.

    If you take away Pacs quickness, there aint a whole lot left IMO.
    He doesnt have good defence, and everything in his game is about quickness and workrate. Khan can match his quickness.

    Mayweather, or at least the Mayweather we know(hes getting older), beats Pac easily.

    He also knows way too much for Khan, but Pac v Khan, although Id make Pac a heavy favourite, as hes a good finisher and will catch Khan, is a sellable fight.

    Its also a great fight for Roach, if Khan wins, Pac goes to congress n Khans his new main guy.
    If Pac wins, Roach "rebuilds Khan(cherrypicks opponents to showcase him as they did Pac, guys who cant come even close to matching his quickness) and looks masterful.

    This fights happening IMO.

    Pac destroys Khan
    Pac destroys Mosley
    Pac destroys Bradley
    Pac destroys Berto

    Pac v Mayweather close call.

    Pacquiao beats Khan very early.

    Khan won't have Roach in his corner, there goes his entire gameplan. Different levels at this point.

    Pac would destroy Khan but there's no point talking about it Khan confirmed on his twitter a couple of days ago that he and Pac have agreed to never fight each other.

    I saw on khans twitter that he said him and pac made a agreement with roach that they would never fight eachother because he consdiers them friends etc.
    Only if khan would somehow leave roach I could see this happening, otherwise it wont.
