By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA 140-pound champion Gavin Rees believes that Amir Khan (29-3, 19 KO’s) would beat both WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KO’s) and WBA/WBC welterweight champ if he winds up facing either of them in his next fight. Khan, 27, is hoping to get picked out by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum for Pacquiao’s next fight in Macao, China on November 22nd.
Khan’s former trainer Freddie Roach is trying to throw a monkey wrench in the gears to keep Khan from getting a fight against Pacquiao by advising Arum not to having Pacquiao fight Khan.
