    it's actually a step up in competition for khan. so i'd be down to see it. hbo boxing after dark. while i wasnt too impressed by paulie's win over diaz, he's still a slick boxer and a legit 140 pounder. i think he had it right during his tirade after the first diaz fight, he's not really a champion, but he's a legit opponent. khan is only 23. no need to feed him to the wolves like bradley and alexander just yet. i say throw khan in there with urango, paulie, maidana, ortiz, peterson. there are plenty of serious competition at 140 right now. but he's not at champion level yet.

              Its a good fight, there will be a lot of rapid fire combinations from both guys, and technically its a good learning fight for khan, paulie is slick has got a great left hand, fast, and durable. Definitely the best guy khan would have faced at this point in his career.

                why would we celebrate fighters taking the easy route. Khan should be a) facing mandatories or b) looking for unification fights. If pacman is fighting at 147 that means the 140 title is up for grabs. bradley is in pole, so Khan should be pushing to fight him, or face Maidana. He won't do either any time soon but I'm not gonig to be thanking him for fighting Paulie, who wouldn't be much of a threat IMO

                  No **** this is happening. This has been his American debut since Diaz signed the second fight. If Diaz won it was probably going to be Victor Ortiz/ Malignaggi.

                    I would love to see that fight!
                    that fight would probably be "too big" to be on the undercard of Pacman/Mayweather
                    but if it by some fluke made it... best ppv card of the decade

                      Fighting Prescott would represent a backward step at this time and your theory about beating the guy that beat you is crap at best. Pac didnt rematch Torrecampo,Ortiz isnt about to rematch Maidana,Hopkins never rematched the guy that beat him in his first fight,and the list goes on and on.
                      Hey fellas when Ali fought Frazie4r the first time after he came back from being banned for 4 of the best years of his career he lost. Joe was the HW Champion and Ali was claiming he never lost the belt so it still belonged to him. They foguth in what many claimed to be the fight of the century at the time. Ali LOST and got floored for the first time in his career by a thunderous left hook in the 15th round. Ali chased after a rematch in the meanwhile Frazier went on to lose his belt to Foreman. When Frazier lost his belt to Foreman Ali could have said I want another shot at the title and it makes no sense for me to go backwards and fight Frazier any longer. Especially since he lost the belt to Foreman and I could get a fight with Foreman instead NO he still fought Frazier. He avenged his loss and put the story to bed about Frazier being better than he. That is the way you do it. Many said the same about Lennox Lewis that he is the only fighter to ever beat every man he ever faced. he aveneged his losses the one to McCall and the Rahman. True champions don't run they fight and they fight the guys the public wants to see them fight and they avenge their losses. Khan needs to step up. Sometimes it takes time though he is only 22 years old. he needs some more work in the GYM and with Roach I think he will be good and we will see him suceed....Lefty
