Now I'm absolutely convinced that Khan will unify JWW.

Is Hard Boiled your ALT? No, I don't have an alt. I'm not a hardcore boxingscene user, therefore I don't need an alt

Wasn't Diego like 6,1 or 6,3 or am i going crazy? Khan certainly isn't he is about 5, 11 or 5, 12 Chico was 5'10" or 11" i think. Khan is 5'10". Khan isn't as powerful as Chico (my favourite all-time boxer), but he has the potential to become more powerful. He's still only 23, I can see him being a beast when he's 26/27+. His chin should also improve but it'll never be as good as Chico's. Khan has a lot of heart but you'd be hard pushed to find a fighter with a bigger heart than Chico. Khan is more skillful though.

I think big punchers will always be a risky area. Alexander and Bradley despite being better boxers don't pose as high a risk as Ortiz and Maidana. Alexander is definitely not a better boxer than Khan. Bradley, maybe, but his physical shortcomings - size, lack or power and him being slightly slower than Khan - mean that I can't see him beating Khan.

This is a mis-conception of khan's career over the last year to 18 months, as he has fought 3 solid 140 lb'ers in a row, none of them were big punchers but they were all solid at the weight all inside the top 10, in malignaggi and kotelnik's case were actually world class, and were all dominated. Obviously khan's stock has gone up because of the weekend fight between kotelnik and alexander, and im not surprised why, people are now realising that khan's performance against kotelnik in his first fight at 140 was a very good one. To be honest I think he made paulie look a poor fighter also, but I think paulie could probably compete with most at the weight. He can unify the titles next year there is no rush, fighting marquez is probably the right move for his career. He is a big name, it is a big money fight and will get khan much more exposure then the other guys at 140, and lets not label marquez a normal lightweight he is an exceptional fighter and even at 140 could probably beat most in the top 10. If marquez doesn't take the fight, then no problem, he is a legend...it is a bad style match up for him and he has nothing left to prove, but don't forget he has a lot to gain, as well as a big pay day, he could be the first mexican to win 4 titles at different weights. I think if the fight gets made khan will decision marquez, but learn valuable lessons during the fight that he wouldn't against most fighters, this is priceless for his career. He can then move on to bradley, and the other major players at 140. This has to be one of the best posts I've read on this forum for a while! But still I understand people who just want him to fight ppl his own size. and the Chico comparison is bs, their chin's are not comparable at all.

He fights absolutely nothing like Chico.

I have said it before and I will say it again, Khan is the new Chico Corrales, He has the same height, Reach, Power, Heart, Chin as Chico. I think can will unify the division and will probably go as far as Chico. His power isn't half of Diego's. Neither is his heart. Nor his chin. you're right about height and reach though.

Facts: - He is protected but sooner or later they will have to make the big fights or risk getting belts stripped, embarrassed and ridiculed, which is bad for Khan's marketability. . . I don't agree with this. I have no faith GBP will make the big fights for Khan. He has had plenty of ridicule for not taking the big fights but is still making big money. While that continues I just don't see why it is inevitable that he will be forced to be in meaningful fights. I don't see one dominant LWW who will beat all the others.

actually khan have shown he got the skills...the only question is his chin. ^^^ this, i concur with.

That's ok dude. New here but from your posts it doesn't seems like anybody could take you seriously. By the way you might want to take a look at khan's amateur record.... You'll notice how he was voted best boxer in all divisions in the european and world championships, winning both and he also beat Ortiz in the amateurs. The guy can box, personally I think his lack of a decent chin makes it far more tense watching him. Or at last will do when he's in there with a puncher. Which will happen. Just my two pence...

He can then move on to bradley, and the other major players at 140. precisely. Maidana's not pushing for his mandatory at the moment, either because of the agreement with GBP or because of his managerial dispute, nevertheless, Khan can fight who he wants. JMM is a big money fight that would get him a lot of exposure in the USA and also Mexico. JMM is smaller but is still a challenge as he is fast, skillful and a great counter-puncher. Khan will undoubtedly get tagged by some of JMM's counters, he's a smaller guy but it'll be interesting to see how Khan's chin would fair. People don't give Khan props for who he's beaten. People wrote Kotelnik off as a bum but he BEAT Alexander. Now people are jumping on the Kotelnik band wagon. People should give Khan his dues for schooling Kotelnik. Khan in the last 2 years has: - been KTFO and was back in the gym the very next day to work harder - teamed up with the best trainer in the world, and also Ariza. - beat a past-prime, smaller Barrera. still no easy task, but it was a good style match up for Khan. - won an alphabet title after moving up in weight, dominating everybody's new favourite fighter, Kotelnik. - destroyed an unbeaten American hype-job in Salita, who was his mandatory. Why he was the mandatory, I don't quite know. - dismantled and possibly ended the career of Paulie Malignaggi, a former World Champ who could probably beat top 10 JWW like Ortiz, Mabuza, Alexander, McCloskey etc.

If Khan didn't have a questionable chin, he would pretty much wipe any1 out at 140. But because of the crack in his armour it's closer. and he would actually need to find the courage to fight top guys at his OWN DIVISION,not lighweights

maidana and zab would beat khan......

IMO khan can beat maidana and alexander . Bradley is the most well rounded of the 140lbers and will stay on khan for the full 12 , he has deceptive power and will either tko khan late or get a clear decision. Alexander's defensive problems and offensive predictability were put on display in the kotelnik fight . He ate jabs throughout the fight . I see Khan as a faster , more mobile , stronger version of kotelnik and he'll will be able to establish his better jab and win a decision or late stoppage . Maidana is crude , slow footed but his power will make khan fight cautiously . Either khan by wide ud or maidana by brutal ko Sadly though the alexander kotelnik fight will just be written off as a bad night for alexander by HBO when in reality mistakes ignored in the urango fight due to his great ko are the problem and we probably won't get to see that rematch

Khan has to fight JWW's instead of LW's if he's going to unify JWW This is a mis-conception of khan's career over the last year to 18 months, as he has fought 3 solid 140 lb'ers in a row, none of them were big punchers but they were all solid at the weight all inside the top 10, in malignaggi and kotelnik's case were actually world class, and were all dominated.

I agree, Devon is very overrated just because he's ugly and mean looking

- Khan is the fastest in the division (disregarding Pacman). Some may say Judah, but no. - Out of the top fighters at 140lbs, Khan has the best jab. - He has good KO power, good combos, good footwork, and is intelligent. - He has the best trainer in the world. - He is protected but sooner or later they will have to make the big fights or risk getting belts stripped, embarrassed and ridiculed, which is bad for Khan's marketability. - Khan has a bad chin, that's his only flaw. But I think it's not as bad as most people make it out to be. People forget how weight-drained he was at 135. He's big for a JWW let alone a LW. Draining yourself obviously reduces your punch resistance. Also Ariza's conditioning has definitely improved his body, his legs are bigger and his muscle mass distributed better. We can't really tell though until he's hit on the chin good at 140. 1. Judah is faster imo. 2. He has decent punching power but he resorts to throwing a lot of arm punches. He's incredibly off balance when he throws combos and he does lose handspeed when he throws them (he's much better at single shots and 1-2s). His footwork is awful and he is FAR FAR away from being an intelligent fighter. His ring IQ sucks. 3. his marketability so far has protected him and it may get worse as time goes on. 4. his chin is ****ing atrocious. Even if it improve with the weight gain it'll still be utter shit.
