I think it's just Khan copying Pacman.

Khan wanted to show he wasn't hurt by Barrera, so he done what Pacman done against De La Hoya.

Khan just got it off Pacquiao, it's not a Freddie Roach thing.

that thing hat pac, and now khan does after an exchange......anyone know what thats all about?

pac says he taps his gloves together for psychological purposes. i guess he raises his hands to show he is not hurt and to tell the opponent to bring it on. i think amir has picked up on this, the fact that the the fight is not only in the ring but in the mind.

Don't people say when you feel woozy to put your hands above your head and breath deep???

No...

I just made that up I think...

I think it's the same as why other fighters smile when they get cracked...Just a little bad sportsmanship...no biggie.
