Amir Khan created something of a buzz recently when he revealed that discussions are underway for him to fight Manny Pacquiao.
Khan, who has not fought professionally since losing to Kell Brook in 2022, is ready to face his former sparring partner who seemingly walked away from the sport he gave so much to in 2021 after being outscored by Yordenis Ugas.
Throughout both their decorated careers, a fight between the pair was often mentioned with both fighters often near the top of the 147lbs division.
The bout never materialised but with it being a possibility now, Carl Froch, a fierce critic of Khan at times, has warned the Bolton man not to take the challenge.
“He’s a solid, fierce competitor, 44 years old, a big puncher. A punch is the last thing to go from a professional boxer,” said Froch on his YouTube channel when talking about Pacquiao.
“Amir Khan calling out Pacquiao is purely for money, and he needs to be careful. We saw him against Brook, he got hit with a jab and his legs turned to Bambi. He can’t take a punch. His punch resistance has gone.
“Do not fight Pacquiao, it’s dangerous, keep the gloves hung up Amir.”
