if the fight were made today, who wins?

Pacquiao would win by brutal ko.

Obviously he doesn't beat prime p4p fighters. But I genuinely thought Khans speed would give Mayweather something to figure out, back when he was calling him out, I reckoned he'd cause him a few early problems before Floyd took over.
But I always though pacquiao was all wrong for Khan, style wize as well as being a level or 2 above.
Don't care if he was able to hang with him in sparring, Pacquiao would have demolished him at his prime and even now I think he makes mince meat of him.

Pac may be passed his best but Khan probably is too

A knock out is an odd one to call, Manny doesn't knock people out and Khan doesn't stand up well to being hit, which he would do with great regularity

PAC KO's him early

Pacquiao. KO. Can't see the fight happening, Khan has nothing to offer that would sell the fight.

I nodded off after a few rounds yesterday but from what I saw Manny seems to have slowed down a fair bit, he was and absolute whirlwind in his prime, right now I'd make Khan slight favourite.

in the works for November?

Pac-man can still connect - which means lights out for Khan.

I see Pacman winning on the scorecards around the 116-112 mark.
I see Khan starting off well but being hurt and retreating to a shell.
I don't think Pacman has the killer instinct of his prime. Interesting fight though.

If he stays disciplined khan can take this on points in an entertaining fight

Of course he does. He’s famous and he’s a respected contender.
Personally, I disagree with most “experts” that have been writing Manny off for a year or two. He looks to me like he’s got plenty left in the tank. He’s also supremely tenacious.
I do not think Pacman would need the full twelve rounds to beat Khan, as much as I’m a fan.

Amir Khan -
My team an I have agreed terms with Manny Pacquiao and his team for a super fight #pacquiaokhan #April23rd

Manny Pacquiao -
Negotiations between team Pacquiao and team Khan have come to terms for the April 23 bout as this is what the fans wanted. #PacquiaoKhan

People forget pacman is fast aswell and a southpaw which will be hard for khan too,this will be pacmans first k.o since.....cotto?

Khan better hope for another Marco Antonio Barrera type freak occurrence!

Another knockout loss for the glass-whiskered one.

23rd April is a Sunday. Intresting.

Hope Pacquiao knocks the little prick sparkers!

What the venue & likely undercard?

Bet Hearn and Brook are absolutely raging at this and are praying it falls through.

Got to give credit to khan he doesn't fight gets banged out yet still gets the massive fights.

I think he will do better than what people think though. Khans kryptonite is the let hook from the orthodox stance hence a significant reason his best performances have been against southpaws. (Devon Alexander and Collazo) also Manny won't have the size advantage Conelo had.

That said Manny it still a different level to the fighters Khan has faced at 147. I still think Manny wins but Khan will get early rounds. I can see it being 116-112 to Pac.

This fight is probably going to end up as a glorified sparring session as they both know each other so well.
There will be no real needle between them yet will earn millions for fighting each other for what they did day in and out.
Maybe pac might put us out of our misery in about 9 or now let it go on points... payday for both and a fight that imo shouldn't be happening its just a gimmick for money

Why shouldn't it be happening?

Amir Khan is pretty amazing.

How on Earth does he get these big fights against opponents that he doesn't belong in the ring with?

Who cares as long as it's pissing Kell Brook off!

Khan even manages to slip Brook with this Pacquaio fight despite Brook having signed to fifth Spence a couple of weeks ago. He's bloody shifty that Khan.
