Manny WILL land hard in the first two rounds and that'll be enough.
Manny hasn't done that to anyone in a long time.

Khan is brittle I know, but I don't think Manny hits that hard at 147 any more.
Wouldn't be able to tell you the last time Manny was in with a chin as weak as Khan's.

Well I'm sure Khan is a little pissed off he didn't get the Mayweather fight and who can blame him really.
Pacquiao should be a good payday, although a Kell Brook v Amir Khan straightener in front of a passionate English crowd sure does a lot more for me than watching some fight with no atmosphere in the desert.

Agreed ... except for the "who can blame Khan" part.

For the same reason we won't be enjoying Brook VS Khan ... we can blame Khan because he's repeatedly ducked the top 3-7 available challengers in this comeback. Idiot initially ducked the Alexander fight which could have moved him pass Maidana for the Floyd fight.

He could have also fought someone tougher than Collazo, which could have pushed the public for Mayweather/Khan over Mayweather/Maidana II.

I'm sorry, but for a guy of his current standing, you can put the blame squarely on Amir and his people.
