I think Khan is better than Horn lol, at least he's known, even though he's known for constantly getting dropped, he's still known and his fans believe in him so it will be a good build up. Maybe he even pulls it off against a near 40 year old Pac.

If this is true, it is another fight that might do a million buys.

Gonna be short as hell tho.

Its a brilliant fight. Khan is coming off major KO and hand surgery though. 2017 possibly be the best year for boxing in a long time? All the top fighters are fighting top credible opponents!! Except Wilder of course :P

HBO have given this the greenlight. It will be on PPV, with 3 episodes of 24/7.

No one has ever outboxed Amir Khan in a 12 round fight unless you want to count the robbery in the Peterson fight.

Khan was clearly outboxed by Chris Algieri as well as Julio Diaz, so it's not like it's some tremendous feat.

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

This IS a tune-up for him. Yes it's Manny, but this isn't the Manny of old. Not saying Khan has an easy night, but I don't see him overly struggling either.

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.

I'll bet you half of what's in my bank - which is quite a bit - that Khan takes Manny the distance.

If true, I still like Manny by Decision or KO.

For what it's worth 147 is the ONE weight where Khan hasn't been KTFO yet. Hope it happens, and War Khan for some ****** reason.

Manny would have to be shot not to bounce Khan off the deck like a racket ball. He will look good in spots, even dare I say dominant but he will get caught. Ill buy it hoping for the highlight reel KO but Manny will beat him up over twelve rounds, drops him 3 times minimum. Manny will win like 8 rounds and Khan 4 but the scores will be something like 116-109 or something, lol.

MP still has enough in the tank to give anyone a fight incl Khan.
