    No. Khan is too big and kepts both at the end of his long jab while picking them off from a distance. Not only that but his footwork is superior meaning their only chance is to get inside...something I don't see happening.

    FWIW....I know this isn't a serious thread, at least I hope it isn't.

      I think Gamboa could pull it off.

        Oh no way would they beat him, we have weight classes for a reason but they could possibly ko him if able to land a good flush shot.....these are hard punching FWs afterall.

          If the fight happened, they wouldn't KO him, but I think they could definitely generate enough force to KO him in a hypothetical situation.

            Juanma is 5' 7" - 5' 8" and have a 69" reach. If he carries the weight well, Khan goes to sleep. It would be tougher for Gamboa because he is 5' 5". But if either guy lands a hard punch on Khan, he get stiffed!

              Pacquiao proved that wrong. Mayweather proved that wrong. Oscar Dela Hoya proved that wrong. Hector Camacho proved that wrong. Roberto Duran proved that wrong. Sugar Ray Robinson proved that wrong.


              I think it's very possibly that they could knock out Khan. We would just have to see how they handle the weight if they were to move up. Do they keep everything? Do they get stronger? Do they get slower? Do they get weaker?

              You have to keep in mind 90% of boxers aren't fighting their natural weight. They are fighting on average 3-4 weight classes below their natural weight.

                    Well when talking about maybe 1 class jump yes, but when huge disparities like 3 weight classes are involved you can bet it matters. Just look at how Chambers could do nothing against Wlad, or how JMM could do nothing against Floyd, or Pavlik got dominated by Hopkins.

                    You could make cases for both at times, right now I would say they lose to him because he is skilled, fast, and much bigger and stronger but if either could catch that chinny chin chin with a flush shot its nap time for Amir.

                      Yes they probably can, but believe me. Khan has MORE then enough power to knock out BOTH men with straight JAB. This guy is developing power and no one seems to even realize this. Paulie Mallinaggi, the same guy who went to war with a PRIME Cotto, and Hatton was WELL on his way to being knocked out. I thought it was a fluke when he blew out Salita with a 1 2, but you cant deny this guys. Call it Ariza's conditioning, or whatever. His power is underrated, and is becoming stronger. And im not even gonna talk about his Speed.
