    Amir Khan vs Pacquiao Comes to terms, fight is close to landing

    http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing...-manny-9858574

    So the probable opponent would be Amir Khan for the April Schedule of Manny.

    Khan takes Manny the distance. I don't see Manny able or willing to KO Glass. I don't see Khan strong enough to do much to Manny. Just be a 12 round chess match of tentative striking.

      Khan is going to be the attacking fighter, and his speed would be a factor, it would be interesting to see how Manny would react to a guy with a slightly faster handspeed than him now that he is passed his prime.

        So what was all this Jeff horn fiasco? Arum probably saw the backlash and knew no one was fooled.

          It's better to take it to the distance with Khan tbh and beat him that way. No one has ever outboxed Amir Khan in a 12 round fight unless you want to count the robbery in the Peterson fight. It is like Hearns, you can beat him by KO but it is much more impressive to beat him in the distance.

            Didn't Khan say he needed a tune-up?

            Pathetic duck of Brook

              If Khan is the attacking fighter, he's gonna get KTFO. No big deal though because, sooner or later, Khan's gonna get KTFO either way.

                Such a myth. Julio diaz outboxed in long stretches of their fight and so was Garcia and Peterson.
