    Both men really don't have much options at this point. Manny has no interest in fighting the top PBC fighters and Khan, well he's just tryna avoid getting banjoed of the canvas again.

    I guess Manny can fight Horn, since he doesn't want that Crawford treatment. Khan can maybe aim to get a Bradley or Cotto fight. Both men really aren't of much interest to me anymore their hearts are no longer in boxing.

    Who would you like them to face and who do you think they will face?

    Pac Horn
    Khan Peterson/Baited into Vargas co-main for Pac Horn LOOOL

    Possible Arum ditches Pac fighting in April/May altogether...

    Thurman will have time off and fight in June/July which is too late for Khan. Khan needs an April/May opponent.

    Can't understand why Crawford isn't doing anything & everything to get the Pac fight. Whats been the word on why this isn't a thing - Crawford/Pacquaio?

    Khan works for AL Haymon , like it or not, he has to face Thurman because he cried about having that WBC silver belt and him not getting a shot at Mayweather or Garcia. Now Thurman can break that KO dry spell.

    Khan is fighting in April/May. Thurman won't be ready.

    Bob Arum isn't risking one of his two cash cows for another. When Pac looks like he is spent and about to retire he might make Crawford Pac and sacrifice Pac.

    Good fights although Garcia did turn down Pac initially. And pac might get a backlash for picking somebody coming from a loss.

    Khan doesn't deserve a shot at two titles. He should at least fight a Peterson/Diaz or Bradley first.

    Ideal world:
    Pacquiao vs. Thurman or Crawford
    Khan vs. Garcia II or Peterson II

    Realistic world:
    Pacquiao vs. Peterson or Broner
    Khan vs. Garcia II or Broner

    What we'll get:
    Pacquiao vs. Horn or Provodnikov
    Khan vs. Senchenko or Granados

    Cool . Now let's see who they can get for Khan that can't punch at the 130 level and move them up to make him look good.
