      You're missing the point (plus you're blinded by your hate). Freddie Roach (Pacquiao's and Khan's trainer) wanted Amir to spar with Pacquiao.

      "I would like Amir to spar with Pacquiao ahead of his fight with Hatton,” said Roach.

      “I love using Amir because when Manny can handle his speed I know he is sharp and when you are sharp you can deal with anybody. He doesn’t have the same style as Hatton, of course, but I believe sharp is part of the game.

      “When those two guys get in the ring it is like a ****-fight. It is unbelievable.

      “Amir has great athleticism and like Pacquiao, speed is his asset.

      “You are born with speed you can’t make it. You either have it or you don’t and it is a boxer’s greatest asset.”


      (Interview here).

      Of course no single sparring partner can win a fight for either boxer, and of course Pacquiao will get some sparring partners whose styles are more similar to Hatton's, but that isn't the point. The point is that you do need to spar, and that Pac's trainer wanted Khan to spar with Pacquiao.

        perhaps khan is now afraid to spar with pacman because he doens't want to be floored like the armenian guy whom pacquaio floored during sparring

            Khan is far from being a nobody. He is well-known and has a large fan base. He is also talented. You don't have to like him to admit this, it's just a fact.
