MANILA, Philippines - British boxer Amir "King" Khan says he has changed his mind regarding the result of the trilogy bout between Filipino boxing icon Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Mexican boxer Juan Manuel Marquez after watching the replay of the fight. Khan, the world junior welterweight champion, initially said he thought Marquez won the bout, and that Pacquiao was lucky to escape with the win. Pacquiao had defeated Marquez via a controversial majority decision, but many boxing analysts believe that Marquez had outpointed the Filipino champion. Khan also advised Pacquiao to consider retirement soon, saying that the Filipino boxer could not beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. given his performance against Marquez.
