Amir Khan Wants Lucas Matthysse December 15, on HBO

Khan on a LUCKY day can beat most opponents..i say lucky day as in the day when he uses his brain and doesnt get into a slugfest. The guy has all the tools, minus the chin, but with his reach, fast hands he should be able to keep slow/smaller boxers at bay. Khan needs to learn to clinch, hold, run, and keep his hands up high all the time, he'll be a hard boxer to beat. Yes, specially one dimensional fighters.

At least explain WHY you think Khan is just gonna trample over Matt, cuz I just don't see it. I'm not saying that Matt can't be out-boxed. I just think that you're overrating his power/speed. Plus, there are those moments when Khan gets out of his game-plan and starts exchanging. Khan is still vulnerable to left hooks and overhand rights, and Matt loves to throw both. Khan wont be trading with Mattyse because he is a huge puncher, strategy is gonna be different. Problem is Matyse is just too slow for Khan and doesn´t have the strenght of let´s say, García, so his face will be pointing to the lamps everytime khan tags him (even Alexander made him stumble several times). He isn´t a good counterpuncher, and doesn´t have the mighty fast left hook Prescott and García have... or show me a video of it.

Matthysse is a beast and it would end very bad for Khan !

I can't keep up with all the vacant titles he keeps fighting for and getting given belts back & such. Hes got laced in 30seconds flat & in his next fight he fights Oisan ***an (isn't he a character from Willy Wonkas chocolate factory?) for the vacant WBA International lightweight title, in his very next fight he fights for the WBA & the WBO equivalent which he'd previously thrown in the rubbish bin where it belongs. He low-blowed Judah for his IBF given his WBA was it? Back after getting whopped like an octopus by Peterson. Judah, Maidana etc they're just names. Judah is just like him hes like a 6 weight, million time world champion or some rubbish yet the guys never beaten anybody legit, his best win is over Spinks whose tied 1 a piece with him. Pair of jokes and it just shows there are far too many belts out there. Time they got rid of half of these bogus titles & time Amir got back to the domestic scene where he belongs & earned his way up regardless of how much money he rakes in through having so many people wanting to see him get starched again. The point you're missing is... that they're 10 top contenders. You can't bring the absolute best into that division. You have to give credit to this guy, he's constantly fighting the best, even now. With recent losses, he's fighting Lucas Matthysse who is available. Unless you have person in mind for Matthysse before the year end?

Khan is going to get kayoed again.

I'll be watching this, should be a great matchup

Yes. Actually I don´t think Khan is better, it is just a very bad match for Lucas. But I´m done trying to make you understand my point... too much Fanaticism around here.

Please....stop with the foolishness. You really think Khan is go in there and smack Matthysse around? :lol1: Yes. Actually I don´t think Khan is better, it is just a very bad match for Lucas. But I´m done trying to make you understand my point... too much Fanaticism around here.

He wont be able to land those bombs so easily on Khan, not elite of course but he is a lot better boxer than Ajose. Remember Lucas was getting stumbled by pillow puncher Alexander. Khan´s kind of speed and power would totally annihilate Lucas, not even a good fight. García-Mattyse would be better. Please....stop with the foolishness. You really think Khan is go in there and smack Matthysse around? :lol1: If Maidana could have Khan in trouble, I'm sure that Lucas could do the same.

What are you? The mushahadeen of Amir Khan? That's adorable, it really is. Why?, because my opinion differs from yours?. Don´t be a douchebag. Do you think this is an easy fight for Lucas?, he should take it asap then.

:D Thats all well and good Matthyse not being able to counter Ajose's punches but you seem to be overlooking a minor fact regarding the nuclear bombs that landed on Ajose's chin from Matthyhse that if landed on Khan's would probably end his career. He wont be able to land those bombs so easily on Khan, not elite of course but he is a lot better boxer than Ajose. Remember Lucas was getting stumbled by pillow puncher Alexander.

Times have sure changed, haven't they??:guilty: I cannot believe how far Khan has fallen here. I'm not sure who the hell is responsible, whether it's Khan himself, Roach, or what.

I thought Dazed was crazy to say Khan would be a nobody journeyman in a couple of years, but if Khan keeps fighting heavy hitters he won't physically be able to do anything else. Who knew that when Khan said he would have a short career, it would be because he was getting killed by punchers? I admire a guy who likes a challenge, but he needs to take care of himself. Times have sure changed, haven't they??:guilty:

give it a rest just this once, khan take a tune up you can get jello'd by mathysse in early 2013. khan has the best chin in boxing and he's the best offensive fighter not named manny pacquiao, according to amir khan.

i see khan getting knocked out

He must want to commit suicide. I give him credit though if he fights Lucas.

I like Khan but this is suicide Mathysse will absolutely rip him up ! !

Khan gets victimized again. People keep bringing up the maidana fight but fail to remember how he was doing the chicken dance that fight as well. I think Lucas is an overall better boxer than maidana and will brutalize khan again. LOL at bambi on ice, that **** was hilarious!

Garcia was not looked at as dangerous. He was a replacement, underdog, looked at as too weak to keep Khan off him. The only one's who believed in Garcia were his dad and himself. They were right with everything they said, which is what makes their upset more badass. "Can Khan take the same punch Morales took?"..Khan couldn't take the punch. :D At the time the majority on this forum were saying GBP would pick Morales or some other easy option as a replacement for Khan to fight. Yes Khan was the favourite but Garcia was always a very dangerous replacement in the eyes of anyone who has a clue about Boxing.
