    [h=1]Khan's father says April fight with Pacquiao is on[/h]
    A bout between Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan appears set to be confirmed after the British fighter's father revealed terms for the contest had been agreed.

    However, on Sunday promoter Bob Arum opened up the possibility of the pair squaring off, saying either Khan or Terence Crawford would be Pacquiao's opponent in April in his final fight before retirement.Last month Khan said he had pulled out of negotiations with the Filipino, who lost his WBO Welterweight title to Floyd Mayweather back in May.

    And, after missing out on a bout with the undefeated Mayweather as the American seemingly bade farewell to boxing with a defeat of Andre Berto back in September, Khan now appears to be set for the big fight he has long been looking for.

    If Pacquiao doesn't have an warmup fight between now and then...maybe NOT.

    Meh, maybe it's true because Floyd retired. Second biggest money fight Con can get. Also if you're Pac at this stage you prefer him over Crawford.

    Pac knows he can't beat Crawford right now. Khan is the safer fight because he has no chin. And if Manny can't beat this guy he definitely needs to retire.

    Some forget that it's not 2009-2010 anymore.

    Crawford will outbox Pac now.

    I also think that Crawford beats the current Manny, maybe even stops him if he really push it (which he probably won't)

    This is what Khan gets for running away from Brook.

    I hope he doesn't get a Pac fight.

    Yeah, I kind of used to defend Khan as most here were way too hard on him, but recently he's been pathetically avoiding Brook, a potential mega fighting in the UK, fighting no hoppers instead in the hope of winning the Maywheater lottery (instead of earning it, not that Maywheater chose his recent opponents on merits mind you).

    Nah, as Illuminati said, Pac would fuck him up. Pac is still the best Welterweight out there.

    Between the two of them Crawford is the better fighter at this point. It's not worth debating unless the fight DOESN'T come off. I'm hoping it does, cause I won't need to talk. I'll simply watch TC puttin a whuppin on old Pac, and you, Neil, and Sly eating your words.
