No, people make a huge deal out of his chin but the fact is Khan had been the most impressive in the 140 division. I think he is far and away the best and if Kotelnik can hit Alexander with straight punches all night you can bet your ass Khan will.Comment

This is of course true, but no one else in the 140 lb division has Kotelnik's Clottey/Abraham like tight high guard. This includes Khan, so what will happen when Devon's punches hit back? It's really impossible to say until we see Khan hit again. Unfortunately we haven't had that opportunity in the last year.Comment

I don't see Maidana, JMM, or Katsidis beating him/stopping him.... However, I can see Judah, Ortiz, and Holt stopping him.Comment

Isn't it safe to say he's going to have to fight one of the more dangerous fighters eventually? Can anyone actually map out 24 months of Khan's calender without taking on somewhat of a puncher? After JMM, where would you go? Everyone wants to say Khan will somehow magically only fight non threats, but he was building himself back up, and he's actually defeated most everyone that is a non threat. He WILL fight someone dangerous in the next 24 months.Comment

I see what you mean. But I really don't see him fighting the likes of Alexander or Bradley anytime soon. The guys he will fight like you said are JMM (possibly twice to make his name), Katsidis and then Prescott also. That basically rules him out for another year. Other than those fights he might fight Victor Ortiz because Ortiz is also promoted by Golden Boy.There are only so many ways to maneuever Khan in the 140 lb division. He's likely to have one more fight against one of the bigger name lightweights in JMM or Katsidis, however after that there isn't really anywhere for him to go but against more dangerous 140 lbers. Perhaps a rematch with Prescott? Or more likely, a fight against Victor Ortiz or Zab. Either way he'll likely be in the ring with a puncher of some sort in the next 12 months. He already beat all the safe looks in the division.
But he won't get knocked out. The guys that he should be fighting are Maidana (Who has been his manditory about a year), Devon Alexander and Tim Bradley. Roach realises that all these guys are a genuine threat to Khan. Which is why he paid a ridiculous amount of money to Maidana for an agreement that he wouldnt demand a fight with Khan.Comment
