Comments Thread For: Khan vs Malignaggi is a Very Viable Fight, Says Roach

[Sugar Jay]

First it was old man Barrera. Then the deli worker Salita. Now he wants to fight Paulie the Pillow Puncher... Geez. Can he make it any more obvious he isn't gonna fight anybody with pop?? Avenge the Prescott loss! Fight the mandatory Maidana!! Grow some balls!!!

lmaoo......

Rematching the only guy to beat you is too much to ask?? Fighting your mandatory is out of the question?? Duck billed platy*****

I mean, I know Prescott put your crush Con to sleep and all, but still. Man up and avenge that defeat!! You act like I want him to fight one of the Klutzkos. And Maidana is his mandatory. Why you bring up top notch wleterweights is beyond me... Sensitive or scared?

What is the point in fighting Presscott?? he's just been beaten on Amir's undercard plus he was also beaten two fights ago before that not to mention that Amir has moved up to 140lb.

How do you know that Maidanna wants to fight Khan??? or have you considered that his promoter GBP might want to use him elsewhere such as an Ortiz rematch...

I like it. Establishing NEW YORK as Amir's base outside England is a very good idea. A lot of Pakistanis and ******s reside in New York and NY also has a little bit of a british connection.... Very good idea! and a very good fight!

I agree with everything you posted, except I don't think it's gonna be a competitive fight !

What are the odds that they put Khan in with a REAL puncher in the next 3 years?

Of course Malignaggi is viable. He has basically a 0-5% chance of knocking Khan out.

this fight should definately be made.. if it does.. im buying tickets.. get it done!

good matchup

i think this is a good matchup for khan, the magic man has boxing skills, footwork, handspeed, combo punching and a plus for khan that he is no power puncher. This sounds like a good first fight for him in 2010. I am not sold on Khan just yet, but he hasn't really fought the top opposition at 140. I think he will have problems with maidana, even though he is a more technical skilled boxer than maidana, maidana does have pop. I would love to see him take on take on the magic man, then either or maidana then revenge his knockout loss to prescott. That would then boost his confidence even more. I just hope he doesnt step up to the big boys at 140 just yet, like when vargas stepped up to the top welters at the time and got his thumped around. To me he is not a top 140 yet but a damn good prospect with an alphabet title...

Why are people saying FIGHT PRESCOTT the guy has lost TWO fights since the Khan fight, it's a backward step for khan. You don't see Pacquiao wanting to rematch the two guys he got KO'd by do you? Khan wants to fight in america so do you really think khan-prescott wud really make financial sense, NO! Khan vs malinaggi isn't as safe as people think because paulie is fast and can box real well. Although it is much safer than a fight with the likes of maidana, bradley, marquez etc.

Con You Dig It??

If Prescott is a step down, what is Paulie?? Jumping out of a plane without a parachute?? Geezuz Quack Quack Akbar!

If it were up to you guys Con would fight The British Glass Joe next..

[AndyShitHot]

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight, at least Paulie is a top LWW and isn't another no name. Plus the build up would be entertaining but I think Khan would outwork and outbox him. I wonder how much longer Khan has to face Maidana though.

Malignaggi is a step down from Salita? Umm No. I didn't understand anything else you said.
