Khan: Pacquiao’s team seem worried about me
October 19th, 2011
By William Mackay: IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan complains things aren’t like they used to be with WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao ever since talk started about Khan being a possibility for Pacquiao in 2012. Khan, who has been training with Freddie Roach in the same camp as Pacquiao, says that Pacquiao’s people seem worried about him and he feels that he’s being kept apart from his old buddy Pacquiao.
Khan wants a big money fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2012, because that fight would not only give Khan a big payday, but it would also make him a household name regardless of whether he gets totally blown by the arguably much more talented Mayweather. It’s a kind of a no win situation for Mayweather, because he would be fighting a guy who isn’t a big star in the U.S and who hasn’t proven himself really worthy of a fight against him.
Khan hasn’t even avenged his knockout loss to Breidis Prescott, who Khan seems reluctant to ever fight again for some reason. And Khan’s life and death fight against Marcos Maidana is still a controversial fight due to the constant breaks in the action by the referee when Maidana had Khan hurt and ready to go. The reality is Mayweather won’t get much for facing Khan at this point, because Khan is still really at least a year, possibly two, away from being a star in the U.S. Even then, Khan may still not be a big enough star for Mayweather if all Khan is facing is guys like an old Zab Judah, and little known fighters like Paul McCloskey.
Recently, Roach mentioned that Khan could be a possibility for Pacquiao in the future. That shows how desperate things have gotten for Pacquiao, because without a fight against Mayweather, Pacquiao has pretty much exhausted all the top fighters that would give him a good payday. Khan, Saul Alvarez, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and Sergio Martinez are the only guys left for Pacquiao to get big money against unless his promoter Bob Arum wants to start putting Pacquiao back in with guys he already beat like Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito again.
Pacquiao’s people are doing the right thing by keeping Khan away from Pacquiao, if that’s what they’re in fact doing, because you don’t need Khan learning all over Pacquiao’s tricks so that he can have an edge if they were to fight one day. Personally, I don’t think it makes a bit of difference because Khan would need a good chin to beat Pacquiao and that would be Khan’s downfall. I mean he would do well for a couple of rounds but as soon as Pacquiao got serious with him, it would be all over. Khan would be reduced to a bloody, holding mess, and he’d get his lights punched out no matter how much holding he did to try and survive.

Until we have proof that the USADA performed ROSBT all the way up to the fight, for the Mayweather/Ortiz fight! The tests never happened!
___________________________________________________________
Doesn’t matter whether it happened or not, the objective in requesting RBT all the way up to the fight is to keep everyone honest, that means the boxers and trainers. Just the fact that knowing a test could come at anytime will keep the boxers from using before the fight. If we all knew when the end of the world would take place. Just like a thief that breaks into a home, if we knew he was coming we would be there waiting.
i made up the rumours he he he banana any one???

Khan Ko’s Pacquiao & Mayweather & I win the Euromillions lottery
********************************************************
Khan he defeat PACQUIAO? NO he KHAN’T.LOL!! Wake up! you’re dreaming bro..LOL!!
@kken… Martinez is smaller then margarito and manny weights 148 pounds days of fights. He is a full welt. Not to mention martinez would come down to 154 manny allowed every excuse for never taking on the best people out there. King of the leftovers.
Another Ricky Hatton set-up in bound. Khan will lose to Mayweather then fight Manny and lose again, then snort cocaine.
khan is so gullible he actually beleives roach and pacquiao
are looking out for him.his nothing but a sacrifice for
pacquiao
This FOOL needs to GET LOST
@Sha, he(Martinez) would beat Floyd but not Pac because styles makes fights?? Please explain???? Did you realize that Pac has absolutely NO defense!!! Yeah he gives a beating to slow stationary stiffs but he takes a beating as well. Look at him after every fight…..he’s battered bruised and puffy! Martinez punches like a mule and I seriously doubt that Pac who’s wayyyyyy smaller that Martinez would fair better than Floyd. With that being said, Floyd probably have a better chance because of his style of fighting……better defense and OVERALL better boxing skills!
Another 2 to 3 years before Khan will be in his full potential. He will never get a chance against Pac or even May at this time. Pac and May is getting older and going down on their prime in 2 to 3 years. Khan will be a better boxer than this 2 but he needed to be patient his time will come. Don’t rush and he could get hurt.
Seriously Jim this fight would be a bloody mess, did you see Khan after Maidana beat the chit out of him….Just Imagine what Manny would do to his face.
Khan Ko’s Pacquiao & Mayweather & I win the Euromillions lottery
Amir Con = Insane
Vradley is fighting pacman next then its a rematch vs cotto. After cotto beats margarito in a terrible fight u will see cotto call manny out… Arum is not dumb he is using manny like a retired horse n he will fight again in july against bradley then nov or dec against cotto
khan is not ready for manny or Floyd he’s too young, inexperience and will get KO’d by both I suggest that he waits another 2 years before he fights then it will be a great contest, but by then Manny and floys will be too old so no point IMO. That’s why Khan wants to fight them now big demandm = BIG pay day …at this moment of time the biggest dangerous fighter for manny and floys is Martinez he beats floys but maybe not manny as style makes fights
Pac would kill Khan, no doubt about it!
khan should fight ortiz
Hows the blend going khan ??
i think khan, should let steward, or mayweather sr train him. he would be a better fighter. but i still think pbf would beat the breaks shoes off of khan.khan would give manny problems,but if khan fought the fight in the middle of the ring he could win on points. but pacquiao could touch that soft chin and thats all she wrote…

“who hasn’t proven himself really worthy of a fight against him” – utter rubbish, Ortiz got the mayweather fight, after losing to maidana and berto, may I remind you Khan beat maidana, so how do you say he aint worthy of the mayweather fight?
LMFAO….Ortiz lost to Berto, someone needs to go back and watch that fight again.
I am not Pac’s biggest fan,but I think he’d beat Khan with his eyes closed. Amir really needs his trap sewn shut!
An edge ? Khan will need a blunt object…
This is all rubbish, Khan himself has come out and said that it’s rumours, the pair trained together yesterday.
This drug testing only put floydie in a VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION. He hasn’t taken his depo, remember? So, floidiots, keep on ressurecting the drug issue which is already dead issue and you’re only digging deeper floydie’s graveyard.
“who hasn’t proven himself really worthy of a fight against him” – utter rubbish, Ortiz got the mayweather fight, after losing to maidana and berto, may I remind you Khan beat maidana, so how do you say he aint worthy of the mayweather fight?1?!
atleast we will only hear i train with freddie roach with khan instead of i train with roach spar with manny
Friends? I fight my own brother for a million dollars, or even a thousand and still my brother after the fight. Gatti and Ward friendship got stronger after they banged each other in ring three times. Go for it Khan!
khan doesn’t have a chin and manny would definitely be hitting it all night until he goes down. but i wouldn’t mind seeing that fight next year if mayweather doesn’t want to fight.

Pacman camp is afraid that khan may demand a clean fight where both boxers take the test. and that will reveal all the skeleton in Pacman cupboard which will be exposed. Pacman only fight boxers that does not demand blood test, and Pacman team knows that Khan seems to know some info about Pacman inside and may definitely demand a clean fight. we hope Pacman can show that he could fight any boxer with a clean sheet of free PED’s b4 any fight for at least one fight!
Khan seems to think he is so talented, maybe he could fight Mayweather and Pacquiao on the same night? Please Mr Khan! Either of these guys would “put you into orbit” Just concentrate on your next fight and keep your big mouth shut!
seems to me khan is convinced mayweather didn’t have the balls and gave up on him. now he’s testing the waters on team pacquiao.
Khan is going to be the next P4P champ, who says so – Pacmans trainer.
Khan needs to get mayweather sr. in the mix to learn some more defense, but that didnt work with hatton when he faced pacquiao either tho. hmmmmmmmm khan still would get koed because his chin couldnt handle those doped up punches
They are not all worried about you Khan. They know you have a big mouth and yap too much. Pac is a quiet gentleman unlike you.
khan needs a new trainer and needs to understand these people are not his friends. Needs to smart up and get out of there.
Manny fx Khan up 7 days a week, twice on SUNDAY. Khan is running his mouth but he better hope he gets by Peterson. Peterson is going to be Khans toughest fight.
Nice unbias article with real facts..good job for once
Khan – Paquiao would be a major mismatch.
Ok Pac fans what do you have to say about this?? He’s sending subliminal messages about wanting to fight Pac and states their a little anxious and so-called afraid that he could steal some secrets. Are you guys scared?? I say this because when this glass-chinned punk started mentioning Floyd’s name as a possible future fight SOME of you morons were saying, oh Khan would give Floyd hell in the ring or Khan would take Floyd apart and all that BS nonsense. You guys hate Floyd so much that no matter who called out Floyd SOME of you morons would say, “they could easily beat Floyd even though you know for a fact that Floyd would kill this young punk”! And guess what…….Pac would kill this guy too!! You see I’m not like you guys(Pac fans) I use logic…..Floyd and Pac would destoy glass chin!! This clown just wants the 5 million that he would make by fighting Floyd or Pac. Chime in Pac fans…..with logic of course, HE’S CALLING YOUR BOY OUT NOW!! @KAMOTE, @ARCHIE, @SIMON…..what do you have to say??
Good job william Mackay..
