Manny Pacquiao has yet to announce whom he intends to face in 2016 and there have been many camps making a serious case on why their boy deserves to be the next and possibly final opponent of Pacquiao.
The latest push comes from Amir Khan's Virgil Hunter who spoke at On the Ropes Boxing Radio how Khan and Pacquiao are pretty much familiar with each other, which makes a possible setto very dangerous.
Both fighters have known each other for years and have, at one point, been together in one stable. Khan has since moved on and now the two could be facing each other once again if Pacquiao decides to fight the British southpaw as his last opponent for his planned April 9, 2016 fight.
With regards to advantage, it seems that Hunter believes that his boy's age will be a factor against Pacquiao. But aside from that, he remains reserved on whether Khan can put on a good show that will in all be enough for him to pull off a win.
Also, there is the question of how fit and well Pacquiao is for his last fight. Hunter knows what Pacquiao is capable of but he believes that Khan will be up to the challenge.
With that uncertainty up in the air, this is what he believes makes the fight pretty interesting. While Hunter has been studying the sparring tapes between the two fighters, the Filipino boxer's trainer Freddie Roach is equally familiar with Khan as well.
Win or lose though, he believes that this final fight will be the icing on his decorated career regardless of who he ends up choosing as his last opponent.
Aside from Khan, on the list as well are Terence Crawford and Timothy Bradley Jr. Both fighters are coming off stellar wins, although Hunter hopes that Khan gets the honor.
