Yes, that fight would logically follow from a fight against michael gomez :wink:
I wouldn't be too surprised to see him in against someone like Gogoladze next, maybe that would be a step to far in fact...

It won't happen, but hypothetically if it did, could Khan avoid a big shot from Pacman? Could he balls....

Talking shit about ATG Pacquaio then fighting shot british level super feathers. Khan step up or shut up, this is tiresome, makes me want to see him get knocked out, which I wouldnt if he either shut up or stepped up.

I did really like Khan, but I am exactly the same as you now. I don't mind Khan fighting these fighters at the moment but he's got to stop spouting crap about Manny, Campbell and whoever else, unless he actually steps up and takes them on.

"Diaz and Pacquiao are great fighters, but I could beat them both,"

HAHAHAHA, i would love to see the winner call out khan after the fight.

This is just media talk. The fight won't get made. I can see why Khan is getting people pissed off. :-?

I think more interestingly the BBC are advertising that this fight is on ITV and it will be his last for the channel.

The lad's virtually certain to go to GBP. They've all but sewn up the 135 division now.

Amir seems to be making a career out of fighting smaller men... much smaller men! :D

True.

There is a large, gaping chasm between Pacquaio and Gomez. Frightening.....

I am loving the fact that the WBO route is so busy/tough for Khan at the moment - he won't be given his title.

I dunno, Gomez is regarded as the northern Pacman. 8)

lightweight has been gunk for years and when amir awaits his big break it becomes a murderers row. :lol:

Get Khan in with Guzman in a final elimantor - it won't happen but it would be a sweet event.

Based on what I've seen, Khan v Campbell would be a 50/50 fight - Nate is there for the taking by a good puncher with a decent workrate. I'd heavily favour him to beat Casamayor now - too easy to tag these days.

Of course he'd get mauled by Pacman though.

Go back to sleep and dream again, dreams are far better than reality. By the way if you get the results of these fights, please let us know LOL.

Yes I was a fan but this is just a piss take, like the mouthy bloke in the pub who reckons he can beat any pro boxer but has never stepped in the ring, Khans the same in that he hasnt stepped in the ring with a top fighter but talks about how he could beat them. Who knows maybe he can but until you do shutup Khany boy

I'd give Khan a decent shot at Pacquiao, sure.

With Pac, Diaz, Diaz, Campbell, Casamayor, Katsidis and, soon, Guzman and Marquez, I think it's overtaken 147 as the hottest division. I don't think Khan ever wins a real world title, but he'd have a bit more of a chance at 140.

The problem is not Khans ambition, it's the fact that he's with Sports Network. I don't doubt that Khan wants these fights, but FW is simply not going to risk his cash cow against someone like Pacquiao. That is plain to see after fight Khan has when the two of them are interviewed. Khan is always talking about world titles and Frank is always shooting them down.

I cant believe Sham-ir Kahn thinks he could beat Pacman. He's in a totally different league to the part-time feather punchers Kahns been fighting.

Khan would suddenly look like a non-puncher against Pacquiao.
