Comments Thread For: Khan vs Marquez on May 15, Then Judah, Mayweather

It sounds like this was Schaefer's pitch to get Khan to sign to GBP in the first place. It won't happen, surely Khan has to fight Maidana at some point.

Bull ****....hes fighting Maidana on 17th april 2010

Yeah... ehmm don't believe everything boxrec says. Khan doesn't have any fight signed yet but as it looks right now it seems that JMM is probably his next fight instead of Maidana

[Eric Holder]

Hey ICETA what you make about all this Khan situation?

I mean, I know JMM's track record but, he looked slow as hell at 142 regardles he was fighting Floyd or not. Khan is just as fast if not faster with his hand and feet than Floyd. He doesnt have the counterpunching, but he have the workrate and movement to stay away from JMM. Dude is 5' 10" with a huge reach advantage over JMM. Plus the style contrast would be the same as Mayether. JMM will wait for Khan to commit or throw and Khan will just potshot him once or twice per round and win the fight like that. Without taking risks

I think this is a well picked fight for Khan, so he doesnt look bad ducking Maidana. He fights a well known and respected guy, who people will think would beat him. But in reality JMM has no bussines fighting above 130-135

co-sign

i say Zab gets him out in 4 rounds.
seriously, Khan already proved he doesnt have a great chin,
zab is a fast southpaw with good zip on his punches.
i would love to see this fight.

jmm judah and may all whoop that ass one worse than the next

[amayseng]

Sounds like a khan-Vict to me, or a meere khan (which ever you prefer) who has this guy beat besides freddy roach (no point intended) he will not survive 8 rounds against Juan Manuel Marquez!!!!

he wont survive 5 with Zab, noway he can handle zabs southpaw speed and power with that chin

If he can get the better of manny pacquiao in sparring for the first 6 rounds then I think he can handle zab.

That is a big "if" and a deliberate planted myth IMO just like the myth that Khan went toe to toe with Prescott and rushed in. Watch the fight he did not rush in ,he had problems coming to terms with a reach disadvantage made a feeble attempt at a left upper cut lead and decided to get moving out back before he completed the ill advised punch and got caught with a left hook.

Khan v Mayweather 2011 will only happen if Khan beats his next 2/3 opponents. I could see that fight been in the U.K though if it happens

[TOBYLEE1]

I guess they will sidestep Maidana and start throwing big names so it doesn't look so bad
