    I'd rather see Khan rematch Garcia after 1 or 2 more "easy" fights.
    I think he needs to fight as often as possible next year, even against limited opponents. Corrections on style are never easy to learn and automatize.

    I am curious to see if he has enough brains and dedication to improve his ring IQ and defense. As a boxing fan I hope so, Khan has as many flaws as he has skills.

    As for Manny, he had a great carrer but his fearless style doesn't go well with aging. He relies on speed and reflexes, all things that one loses with age.
    In my opinion, after the 3 months of recovery, he should get at least one tune-up fight, just to check what's left in the tank.

    After that I don't know. If he feels OK he could rematch Bradley or even fight Khan. Or maybe we're going to see Manny vs Mayweather, now that they are both on the decline and have less to lose.

        I think this would be the only issue but the fight would sell well in my opinion.

        Khan should take another tune up then rematch Lamont Peterson who he should be able to beat, especially without the roids.

        Should stay away from Garcia until better defense is established with hunter. Then he should be able to outpoint him.

        Can't afford to slip up again so needs to be carefully matched.

          I remembered Khan talking about "fighting Floyd or Manny when they where on their way out" or however he phrased it a couple of years back. Meaning, when they were past their prime. I guess now is the time, lol.

          I've written that I wanted Pac to retire ever since the Margarito-fight, but if he decides to continue he might as well fight Khan. Would be a good fight I suppose, Khan by decision or Pac by TKO.

              This is bull just as early as last week Khan said he'll never fight Manny in an interview. This is like that Tyson sex change story

                After Khan's victory against Molina, I think he is back on track

                Check out though his post speech after his victory on Press Association Sport Youtube channel called Khan Celebrates Molina Victory - Think it says it all

                  Although I'm a big fan of pacman, he's clearly in decline.

                  Khan the younger and more hungry fighter would beat him on points.

                  Arum wouldn't let the fight happen though so pacquaio needs to be a free agent to make it happen.
