If casamayor wants a major payday, go to wembley, and take this.
This would be a HUGE fight in europe. -
it wouldnt fill wembley or come close.
maybe do big numbers at the MEN arena.
I think it will be good to get the fight with Nate on but i think Khan still a bit green for it.
Nate wins mid round stoppage.Comment

I think it's obvious he can, Casa just isn't the same and Campbell didn't look all that impressive against Diaz. I mean Campbell has some hard stiff shots he can wing onto the body and head, but shot's like that only land on undisciplined opponents. I mean, it's not like Nate woke up one morning faster and fresher then he's ever been before that Diaz fight. Diaz just decided (for whatever reason) to let Nate **** on him, and stand toe to toe when that's not even Juan's style. And Didn't Chico only knock Casa down in one out of 2 fights? And didn't Castillo only show that he was able to put punches on Joel late in a fight? That was the last of Classic Casa. Casamayor was just too slick at prime, but this Casa that gets floored, and rocked, and almost KOed by Katsidis, just isnt the same Joel. Shots like that he can see coming, I mean Katsidis punched himself out, and Casa, being the elite veteran he is, countered with precision.
All in all, I think Khan would fair well against both Casa and Nate. I'd favor him in both fights.
But I'd love to see Khan against Bojado at lightwelter within the next 2 years, I think style wise they would match up perfect. Bojado with the faster hands, and Khan with slight edge in heavy within his punches...That's only if a diciplined Bojado came to fight, obviously. But style wise, that fight would be awesome.Comment

Khan can't beat them yet, I'd give him more of a chance against Casamayor though.Comment

I definately think Khan should persue a fight with Casa. I give him a very good chance of winning that fight. Katsidis style was perfect for Casa, but Khan would be a completely different proposistion with his lightening fast hands. The difference in size would be very noticable as well.Comment

Casamayor would be the one to go for. I still think it's a bit early to go for the big boys.Comment
-
Casa can still punch though. It would be interesting.Comment

I'd favour him over both....he's a beast at that weight.Comment

If Khan does meet either of the two and lose, I can see the headlines now:
"Khan a fraud" "Khan a bum"Comment
