    Flacko Too Blessed To Be Humble

    Amir Khan says he is the favourite to face Manny Pacquiao in the Filipino boxing legend's final fight.

    Khan had earlier suggested the match was unlikely but now believes there is a "big chance" of taking on the seven-weight world champion.

    Alongside Khan, Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum has also named Terence Crawford and Tim Bradley as possible contenders for his star's last bout.

    "I am the front-runner," Khan told BBC Sport.

    "Manny Pacquiao makes a good story because we've been training partners and I've been with his coach Freddie Roach.

    "There's a big chance of the fight happening, it's all about making sure my team is on point with the deal and they need to make sure they get the fight that I want."

    Khan hoped to be Floyd Mayweather Jr's final opponent before the multiple world champion opted to fight Andre Berto instead but Khan believes Pacquiao, 36, is looking for a higher profile end to his career.

    "It would be Manny Pacquiao's last fight and end his career in a big way, not like Floyd Mayweather where, no disrespect to Berto, but I think Floyd finished his career on a low note," he added.

    Brook bout
    As an alternative to Pacquiao, Khan is not ruling out an all-British clash with Kell Brook despite also identifying rematches with Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson and a bout with Shawn Porter.

    Brook, 29, defeated Porter over 12 rounds last year but Khan insists his fellow Brit still needs to prove himself against the best.

    "My body's taken all the wear and tear where I'm fighting the best fighters in the world and he's not even fighting half of them," said Khan.

    "I want him to prove himself so it's a big fight, we go into the ring 50-50 and it's a massive fight not only for Great Britain but around the world."

    Middle East match
    Khan is currently training in Doha, the site of the 2015 World Amateur Boxing Championships, and says the Middle East could soon host a headline professional bout.

    "The Middle East has never had a big, big fight," he said.

    "They've had a few decent names but no one in their prime, putting on a world title fight, so I think it's going to happen soon."

    How was the Lemieux x GGG fight? I followed as best I could on twitter, but my net for the last 2 weeks was pretty poverty so even that was difficult.

    Catching up on just about everything I've missed since my absence, this being one of them. Worth a watch?

    Gozalez looked pretty good on the undercard. Not enough for HBO to s--- his d-ck like they do, but he handled a guy he should have handled.

    Golovkin came out boxing smart and dominated in a way we've never seen from him in his professional career. One of the best jabs I've seen since Andre Ward beat on that nobody a few months back. I watched it twice if that tells you anything.

    He's the WBC mandatory for the winner of Cotto-Canelo and I honestly think Cotto will drop the belt or Canelo will pay him to step aside. Especially after this fight and Canelo's team saying they planned to weight drain Golovkin if they fight.

    That's dope, going to watch after these Halloween parties and s--- are done.

    Yeah I read about the Canelo comments. He should look ahead to Cotto and not beyond that, I'm hype for that fight.

    I would imagine that's all his team talking. I'm ready for Canelo to retire Cotto. That might be more of a personal hope than an objective assessment though.

    Oh yeah, Andre Ward's latest choice of opponent got rejected for being a mismatch. That like never happens lol. Hopefully it wakes him up. I'd like to see him move up and fight Adonis or Kovalev sooner rather than later. He should be gearing up with no name lightheavies by now. It's the only thing left for him to do though I don't know how fair it is to ask it of him.

    Groves next for Smith? Would be a good match up.

    He'll probably come along more slowly than that. Rocky was all hype. Groves has surprised people with his new offensive style he resurrected from his Muay Thai days. I hope him and Badou Jack are in Smith's future though.

    Bradley-Rios later tonight.

    Bradley-Rios arrives in an unexpected fashion.


    Loma looking untouchable in a filler match.


    Provodnikov rebounds from the Matthyse massacre against some dude ranked 300+. He actually moves his head in this one. Very interesting.


    Gold medalist, MW prospect Khytrov still building a pro resume. Not sure I'm sold on him yet. Seems sluggish. Didn't look very impressive against a counter punched in Nick Brinson and that's been the toughest test of his career so far.

    i hope cotto wins. might be the toughest fight of the back half of his career given canelo's ability and preparation for this fight though.

    Lara feeling comfortable enough to go on the offensive in this one. He gives GGG the best fight off anyone tbh.
