I think either fighter could take it.
lopez has the taste for a bigger fight now so khan would easily tempt him. and lopez has become somewhat of a name so i think khan would rather him than a katsidis/mitchell/prescott.
the styles would make it exciting and if khan wins he salvages a lot and if lopez wins he's got a title shot against garcia/morales right there
Lopez should return to 140. Most or all of the weight he gained was fat. If he is the same fighter after the beating he just took then he has a good chance to beat Khan. He has fast hands, he can punch pretty good, and he is a relentless attacker. These things give Khan trouble. Lopez is easy to hit. Khan is very fast with his straight punches and he can punch so Khan might KO Lopez. I think it is an even fight.
yeah it's best to see past the 3 losses etc and have a bit of blind faith in the kid eh?
It's that attitude that makes fighters scared to lose there 0 and not want to challenge themselves . Khan still has the tools to fight with top lww , Lucas matthysse and jmm are the only two I wouldn't give him much of chance with
No way khan loses that ! People are starting to seriously underate khan he's still a top lww just not elite level like he thinks

I was thinking 140. lopez was bloated not built so i don't think he wants to stay near where he is now in any case. but i think both would be game at 147 too.
i think lopez has a chance but i see it as 65-35 in khan's favour
