Earlier this week Amir Khan revealed there was interest from ‘both sides’ in a fight against the legendary, Manny Pacquiao.

Khan retired after defeat to long-time rival Kell Brook in February of last year.

But it seems he is interested in a bumper payday and showdown with his former training partner.

Carl Froch speaking on his YouTube channel ‘Froch On Fighting’ believes it’s a bad idea and told Khan to stay away from Pacquiao.

“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.

“Amir Khan calling out Pacquiao is purely for money and he needs to be careful. We saw him again Brook, he got hit with a jab and his legs turned to Bambi. He can’t take a punch. His punch resistance has gone.”

“He’s had a great career, his service to boxing has been unbelievable, he won a silver medal and went on to have a great career.”

Froch continued: “To fight Pacquiao now the writing is on the wall. I know Pacquiao’s 44 years old, but he’s still gonna knock out Amir Khan. He needs to stick to whatever he’s doing. I think he’s promoting or trying to get into that side. Do not fight Pacquiao, it’s dangerous, keep the gloves hung up Amir.”
