    Well i don't really understand why the Canelo fight even took place. Khan isn't that popular in USA to the point you can justify a size mismatch because it's who huge names. Khan isn't that much of a big deal.

    In the UK though, i could understand why opponents would want to fight him. Manny could make a lot of money fighting Khan in Bolton, so it's easy to understand why he would land a fight against Pacquiao.

    The reality is that Khan hasn't beaten a real good top of their game fighter for a LONG time and probably undeserving of title shots and things right at this moment, but he still brings more money than your average fighter around his level, so he's always going to be a preferred choice.

      Isn't he fighting Jessie Horn?

      No wait that was the last guy, my bad. I meant to say Joshua Horn.

      I get my C-level fighters mixed up all the time.

        Isn't an arena in Australia already booked for Pac v Horn? This looks highly unlikely lol

          When I read about it on the reliable and prompt boxing scene top headline I will believe it. Until then I doubt it. If it does happen then Khan will suffer yet another KO loss.
