    Lets clear it up Khan has only sparred Pac for the ODH thats it they have never spared again. Back then Khan just joined Roach and was coming off his 1 min 1st round KO loss to Prescott. Khan body was all messed up also then as his upper body, arms were too big, Roach's team reshaped his weight and moved some down to his legs and free up his arms to add more speed.

    Word is Khan got the better of Pac in sparring on most days, Roach said watch these two spar is a like a blur mad fast hand speed from both fighters and Roach put on a limit to only have them sparring for 4 rounds at time to limit the action.

    For me since then Khan has improved a lot, he is faster, controlled, and is working his fast jab very well. And after nearly 8 months Khan and Pac are set to spar for the second time in this Cotto-Pac camp.

    Love to see how they get on this time, hope we see these speedsters in action when they spar even if it is just 1 round

    I agree about Kahn's improvement but I still don't think that Kahn has what it takes to beat Manny as he is right now.

    Me also, Khan is still to young, it wont be fair to put him in with P4P No.1 in the world, Manny is in his prime.

    Note When Khan hits his prime in 5 or 6 years, man these Pac's and Floyd's better of quit the game cuz this guy is the future watch out :yep

    You missed the first part: "Arum, speaking exclusively to The Daily Telegraph, explained"

    Bob Arum - not Manny Pacquiao.

    Hope that helps.

    I do remember Khan being mentioned as a possible opponent when Floyd was gonna fight on July 18th...If that fight were to have come off it would have helped manny stay busy...he would easily beat Khan!

    I don't think Pac even knows about this.

    Khan was honest enough to admit he's looking to fight guys ONLY coming off brutal losses.
