This fight won't happen, no way are Khan's handlers putting him in with a hard puncher after the scare they had before.

look at this.

" Khan's a great fighter, but if I were to beat him it would make my name.

People trying to get big off of Amir.

Frank Warren is no idiot. Khan is going to continue to get a steady diet of good fighters without massive KO power until he builds out his frame and continues to proggress.

He already showed so much improvement in his last fight. Next up for Khan is Earl, then I would get Thaxton or Michael Katsidis after he beats Earl.

It wasnt even that serious, Khan got caught because he was wild. That's not even in his head anymore. He takes much more positives from that knockdown then negatives.

You said fighters with not ko power but you want him to fight Kats!?

Most likely it would be Thaxton and it shuold but I wouldnt be surprised if Khan wants to jump up to bigger things after he beats Earl, his people would be more conservative then he is.

Derry Matthews is a good fighter but he isn't a really big puncher? Also he is a featherweight whilst Khan is a Lightweight so the strength would be with Khan.

Khan will find Earl a harder fight IMO.

which is why he's being put in with a harder puncher than matthews in december? (tbc by thursday anyway). matthews is a featherweight with average power.

Khan has bigger fish to fry-Earl and Thaxton!!

thaxton yes, but not katsidis. katsidis is several steps ups from earl and shouldn't even be considered before 2009.
