    Obviously fabricated. Khan has never ducked anyone he thought he could lose to.

    It's feasible. Arum offered Michael Jennings a fight against Cotto after he bumped into him in a hotel lounge, didn't even know he was a boxer at the time...

    Im not sure whether this is story is true. If Khan did turn it down then he was right to do it, he's learning from Roach and now is not the time to change trainers, and now is certainly not the time to fight the PFP King. A win over Kotelnik doesnt prepare you for Manny Pac ..

    I'm trying to understand what would be in it for Manny to take this fight, its not a huge money fight as Khan hasnt been 'launched' in the states, and even though im no fan of Khan, dealing with his speed and irritating running away could be annoying for Manny .... I think Arum is just dropping Khan's name in there for his American Launch, thats all this story is about ..

    Amir Khan isnt no were near ready for that type of opponent YET, plus dont think Manny would of went with a Khan fight when he could get bigger pay days fighting the likes of Cotto, Mayweather or Marquez rematch.

    lol, funny fight, i don't know much about boxing yeah - but i know Manny wouldn't just knock khan straight out...

    I think khan would make a fight out of it at least..... if thy were to fight in a months time, i reckon i would back khan to win.. hes got a dodgy chin, but i don't think khan would walk onto any of his punches... i think khan could knick the fight on speed and punch output, and stay out of trouble from long distance!!!

    i don't take none of this "khan hate" seriously and people who say Manny would "kill khan" - they are just going of reputation... - just coz khans got a dodgy chin don't man he ain't got skills

    and i ain't bigging up khan either, and i ain't Asian

    Bob is talking ****, it makes no sense, there are too many reasons why this fight can not happen right now.

    It also sounds like Bob wants Khan under his wing, as Manny his top star got maybe 1 or 2 more fights in him, and right now looks like boxing is not on the top of Manny's list as he got lots on his table back home.
