Amir Khan: ‘Fighting Mayweather like chess but Pacquiao would be harder’
“The Manny fight can still happen at some point,” Khan says. “My promoters, Golden Boy, and Bob Arum [Pacquiao’s promoter] are about to start working together again. Me and Manny sparred a lot, and I often went with him to the Philippines, so it would make a great fight. I’ve left it with my team and my adviser Al Haymon [who also works closely with Mayweather] and I told them: ‘I like the Manny fight.’ But we’ve had no response.
“Boxing is all about timing and Manny and Floyd are getting older. Someone has to take their place. Mayweather would be a very technical fight, like a game of chess. But I think Manny would be harder. He’s much more aggressive and it would be more intense. But with my trainer Virgil Hunter I’m a much better and more defensive fighter.”
