    Khan could not handle Prescott what makes anyone think he could handle Pacquiao. Arum is crazy.

      He couldn't handle Pac but I think he could outbox Prescott now, as he's improved dramatically under Roach, and he wouldn't throw himself chin first into Prescott's punches second time around - but unfortunately, Prescott's recent loss means there's no money in a rematch, or public demand for it, at least until Prescott gets some decent wins against credible opponents.

      But Khan needs to fight Maidana soon to prove whether he can handle fighters who can punch. Even that wouldn't make him a credible opponent for Pac, though, unless he beat Bradley as well as Maidana.

          bob is oing everything he can to keep pac from fighting mayweather. weather the fight happens or not. bob is and will do anything to stop the fight. thats all this is. bob mentions khan,cotto,valero,marquez,soto but not mayweather. because he knows pbf is the one fighter that can negate all that south paw ****.

            Considering Hatton-Mayweather did well over a million in the UK, I'd be very surprised if you're right that Hatton-Pac didn't even come close to 500k.
            Yeah it got over 500k I believe but significantly less than the Mayweather one



            TBH I'd purchase Pacquiao vs Khan just out of morbid curiosity to see how long Amir would last. Pacman has bigger fish to fry though and will do for the rest of his career if his 2010 retirement plans are true

              I think some of you are misinterpreting what Arum is doing here. He's just getting Khan's name out there to hype a possible Pacquiao vs Khan fight in 2010. That's all.

              But if Mayweather beats Pacquiao then expect Mayweather to get Khan first.

                Pac would have knocked him out quicker than whoever that bum was that knocked him out.

                    Cupcake of the century! Man gets no respect what so ever. We'll see if things change after he KO's Manny 8th round.

                      He as improved but he's not ready for manny yet. I've seen videos of them sparring and some people claim tha Kahn took Manny to school but I don't think the same would happen without protective gear.
