So why did Khan choose to fight Paulie..

[Idgas]

You seriously think Paulie is the biggest name? He's lost to Ricky and Cotto already. He's known to the casual fans mostly as a journeyman WTF. Khan is the WBA champion, He should be taking on everyone not climbing his way slowly to the top. As I recall, He's already a world champ....

out of those guys you mentioned, yes, paulie is the bigger name. paulie lost to ricky and cotto but who have the other fighters fought?

Cons a scam-artist, he doesn't realize you have to fight the best to get the big pay-checks, he is avoiding the best because they have power in their fists.

Paulie hasn't done **** except beat Campbell, Marquez's, left overs of a smaller fighter like Juan Diaz.

because if he didnt he would be accused of ducking him

[Kagami Taiga]

ppl would like you to believe that khan, a world champion, needs to get more training before he fights the top fighters. i dont buy it. they just dont want him getting koed in his first fight in america. simple.

Con got KO'd by Prescott who had a padded record of fighters he KO'd who were nobodies. After Prescott KO'd Con, he went on to lose to two boxers who didn't have a glass-jaw like Con.

Who was this good or semi good boxer Prescott beat before fighting Con? Prescotts defining win is over Con, after that Prescotts career went down the drain with losing his last two fights. Prescott will now pad his record with losers again. Since Prescott is a power-puncher who can be outboxed.

Weren't people complaining about GBP not protecting their young fighters enough by puttin them in with hard challengers like Maidana, but now they're being over protective by putting Khan in with Malignaggi, someone who could conceivable beat him.

Cuz Golden Boy and HBO want to protect this dude.

I am so sick of Golden boy. They need to leave boxing for good.

Just an extention of your feelings for Mayweather. While Paulie doesn't have a high KO percentage, I do think he have a solid chance to beat Maidana. Obviously they're worried about his chin, so they jumped at a chance to fight someone decent who most likely couldn't KO Khan.

Khans a better boxer has a glass chin he will win by decision, Paulie may hit Khan but Khan will smile because he is fighting a girl.

Paulies best win is left-overs of a Juan Diaz who was in war with Champbell, and a war with Marquez and brutally KO'd. And Juan Diaz is naturally smaller.

People will be hypocritical when things involve people they don't like. Don't bother.

But I mean isn't it odd choosing the guy that has 5 KOs in his career?

They know Khans weakness is his chin so they don't want to chance that yet so they pick feather fist paulie.
