Julio Diaz isn't to be overlooked

40 wins 29 KO's Looks in great shape Apparently before training he was walking around at 158 - which is good Joel Diaz says 143 should be easy to make for Julio (will rehydrate up to 153 probaly, same as Khan) Joel Diaz predicated Garcia KO and bieng Bradley's trainer must have seen alot of Amir Khan and really likes to analyse the guys he is fighting Khan will be ready as usual - might just walk over a UD (as is the case alot of the time with Khan's style) Khan knows he cannot lose Julio said this is his last attempt - he is going to do whatever he possibly can to get the W. Maybe Khan gets careless in later rounds wanting to impress the homecrowd after winning all the first rounds with ease? Other things to look out for: Diaz getting cut.

everyone who faces Khan knows they have a chance with his sponge pudding chin. I wouldn't be surprised if Diaz bowls him over once or twice, even Molina wobbled him lol

You got to hand it to Khan though. For such a vulnerable fighter he has beaten some good names. Barrera, Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah and (arguably) Peterson. Not a bad little resume even if some of them were past their best. Not at all. There's a reason Khan had the hype behind him before Peterson. He has some good wins. If Hunter teaches him some real discipline and skills, Khan can still be a very good fighter.

Diaz has power and anything can happen but I don't see it, Khan stops him or UD's him. I am not a real Khan fan at all but chin and mental lapses aside, from a skill perspective, there are not many boxers who have Khan's ability. In fact, maybe 3-4 others at best. If Khan continues to avoid going to war and using what Virgil taught him he can continue to win. He just cannot let his heart take over and get sucked into those punch trading wars. I mean realistically the only way to truly beat Khan is to KO him, there really isn't anyone at 140 who is outboxing him. I would like to see Khan/JMM, Khan/Bradley and def Khan/Garcia 2.

He's better than Molina and has fighting bigger guys as of late. I expect Khan by decision, but I wouldn't be surprised if Khan got ktfo. I thought Khan would decision Garcia and we all say what happened there. I'd be surprised if Khan stopped Diaz even though he doesn't have that great of a chin himself. I expect Khan to try and box and fight smart.
