Manchester legend Ricky Hatton is having a tough time picking his countryman, Amir Khan (31-4, 19 KOs), to beat eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao. The fight between Khan and Pacquiao is now being targeted for May 20 in UAE (May 19 in the United States), according to the Filipino superstar's adviser, Michael Koncz.

This is the fight where Khan can redeem himself simply by staying upright for 12 rounds. Win, lose or draw it'll be an incredible acheivement.

Im not sure about that. Other than his chin, Khan is faster and I dare say a better boxer at this point. He won't be able to take the type of shots that Canelo took.

This is will be a hillarious thread, because when Hatton gave Floyd the advantage before the pac fight, they trashed him....Now they will praise his opinion and consider it fact. lol

Now Khan gets beat by a smaller, lighter older fighter.Can't wait to hear the excuses......I wanted a warm fight maybe?

You think?

I think Khan is a very unintelligent boxer that switches off. His ring IQ is extremely low. I do think he has some excellent attributes but i think a fighter like Manny would expose his huge flaws, even now.

Manny is still a smart fighter in the ring. He might have got outboxed by Floyd but who doesn't? - He still had a pretty easy time with Bradley and Vargas and they're good world level fighters.

I think Manny has a bit more left than some people realise

the thing is that, khan can only box for 4-5 rounds. after that if he doesnt hurt or take his opponent out then he starts to discourage and get sloppy. it happens in every one of his fights. he starts off really good then just fades away. look at all his losses. he was winning the early rounds but got sloppy. look at the figtht where he won, he literally had to run for the rest of the rounds (example: maidana fight).

agreed. and the canelo fight is a perfect example. when canelo was throwing to the body, khan kept trying to block those punches with his hands/arms. every time canelo goes to the body khan will drop his arms down to try and swipe the punches off. the round where he got knocked out, he did the same thing. canelo feinted to the body and khan dropped his hands once again to block the punches that wasnt there. khan can beat manny if he stays on his toes and box and move for all 12 rounds.

Khan could win if he fights the perfect fight....but when has he ever done that? Say what you will about the bloated futbol hooligan, but he's on the money here.
