Now I'm absolutely convinced that Khan will unify JWW.

      I have said it before and I will say it again, Khan is the new Chico Corrales, He has the same height, Reach, Power, Heart, Chin as Chico.

      I think can will unify the division and will probably go as far as Chico.

        I don't agree with this. I have no faith GBP will make the big fights for Khan. He has had plenty of ridicule for not taking the big fights but is still making big money. While that continues I just don't see why it is inevitable that he will be forced to be in meaningful fights.
        I don't see one dominant LWW who will beat all the others.

            His power isn't half of Diego's. Neither is his heart. Nor his chin. you're right about height and reach though.

                This is a mis-conception of khan's career over the last year to 18 months, as he has fought 3 solid 140 lb'ers in a row, none of them were big punchers but they were all solid at the weight all inside the top 10, in malignaggi and kotelnik's case were actually world class, and were all dominated. Obviously khan's stock has gone up because of the weekend fight between kotelnik and alexander, and im not surprised why, people are now realising that khan's performance against kotelnik in his first fight at 140 was a very good one. To be honest I think he made paulie look a poor fighter also, but I think paulie could probably compete with most at the weight.

                He can unify the titles next year there is no rush, fighting marquez is probably the right move for his career. He is a big name, it is a big money fight and will get khan much more exposure then the other guys at 140, and lets not label marquez a normal lightweight he is an exceptional fighter and even at 140 could probably beat most in the top 10. If marquez doesn't take the fight, then no problem, he is a legend...it is a bad style match up for him and he has nothing left to prove, but don't forget he has a lot to gain, as well as a big pay day, he could be the first mexican to win 4 titles at different weights. I think if the fight gets made khan will decision marquez, but learn valuable lessons during the fight that he wouldn't against most fighters, this is priceless for his career. He can then move on to bradley, and the other major players at 140.
                This has to be one of the best posts I've read on this forum for a while! But still I understand people who just want him to fight ppl his own size.

                and the Chico comparison is bs, their chin's are not comparable at all.

                    Alexander is definitely not a better boxer than Khan. Bradley, maybe, but his physical shortcomings - size, lack or power and him being slightly slower than Khan - mean that I can't see him beating Khan.

                      Chico was 5'10" or 11" i think. Khan is 5'10".

                      Khan isn't as powerful as Chico (my favourite all-time boxer), but he has the potential to become more powerful. He's still only 23, I can see him being a beast when he's 26/27+. His chin should also improve but it'll never be as good as Chico's.

                      Khan has a lot of heart but you'd be hard pushed to find a fighter with a bigger heart than Chico.

                      Khan is more skillful though.
