I would love to see this fight also, at 147. I think Khan could beat him.

good job by Roach coming to his senses. This is a great fight for next year. Hopefully Pac will not age too much.

Pac and Khan seemed to have agreed not to fight in the past, but i think with Mayweather being a coward duck, things have now changed.

how's that going to work when Freddie trains both men?

between rounds would be EPIC!

Roach is in pac's corner, "good job manny," runs over to khan's corner, "you got to keep your hands up!" runs over to manny, "hit and spin him around" runs over to khan "watch out of his hit and spin technique"

I can guarantee this is a terrible misquote or even a fabrication. All three parties have said they would NEVER do that fight.

Even if what Roach says is true, you still have to contend with the ongoing feud between Top Rank and GBP. Unless Khan does the same Shane Mosley stunt, ie, break away from GBP after Khan's contract with GBP expires. Roach is just like any fan whose opinion is worth crap to a promoter like Bob Arum. Remember, Roach wanted a lot of fighters for Pacquiao, did they happen? No.

Floyd could take this fight easily if he wants to. Of course, GBP wants that to happen. Seems Floyd is not interested. Otherwise, it would be a race between these promoters.

This is a huge fight, no doubt about it, whether it's Pac or Floyd.

pac is too good for khan,khan hasn't really impressed anyone with his last few fights,against maidana he looked like a beaten man how would he look like if he fights someone like pac but I can't see them two fight each other.

Amir Khan's trainer Freddie Roach is pushing for the boxer to step up from the light-welterweight division to take on Manny Pacquiao.

Controversial circumstances surrounded Saturday's WBA title defence where the technical points decision favoured Khan after opponent Paul McCloskey was cut by a clash of heads during the sixth round.

Roach now wants Khan to move up to 147lbs where he can take on stable-mate and good friend Pacquiao.

However first Khan will look to clean up in the light-welterweight division against Timothy Bradley.

Roach told The Sun: "I want Amir to unify the light-welterweight division by taking on WBC and WBO champ Timothy Bradley.

"Then I want him to move up to 147lbs and take on the big buys for big money. That's the plan we are working on.

"Fighting at 147 would suit me better. I'd be stronger, more powerful at welterweight."

"I know Tim Bradley very well and he is one hell of a fighter, but I would put Amir in with him tomorrow and expect my boxer to win."

Roach believes the winner should then take on Pacquiao.

"Their fight will determine who is the best at 140lbs and then the winner should go up to 147 and take on Manny Pacquiao," he said. "That is my feeling."
Powerful

Khan has previously said he would not fight his friend Pacman, but has since has a change of heart.

"Fighting at 147 would suit me better. I'd be stronger, more powerful at welterweight," he said.

"I'm hitting harder now so what would I be like if I stepped up a division?"

July 23 has been scheduled as the provisional date for a showdown with American Bradley, who is currently unbeaten in 27 fights.

"I am taking five weeks off and when I get back to LA and know it is Bradley I could be facing next, it will push me even further," said Khan.

Bradley defended his WBO and WBC belts with victory over Devon Alexander last time out - while he previously dethroned Britain's Junior Witter in 2008.

Clear case of cannibalism,I'm sure Roach knows Khan's useless.He wants Khan in with Pacquiao so Pacquiao can send Khan into retirement.Which corner did Roach say he would be working in?
