    are they building him up, and trying to cash out before he gets KO'ed again (not saying that he will)?

    I mean he is fight stiff competition back to back to back.....

    Khan gets my props....

    It pays off either way, man has the finest coach at that level right now. He has a fine trainer in ArizaHe has great speed and skills, the only question on him is his chin, which I believe Maidana tested the best...and maybe some limited movement he could do with increasing.

    His biggest threats are when he moves UP in weight. If he goes to 147 and loses to Mayweather straightaway he can just drop back to 140 and keep going. He has plenty of years in him. He's a great investment whether he gets KOed or not but I think thats not going to happen.

    Certainly not for the next 12 months.

      I believe they think Khan is a star in the making,he has to be match tough at this point in his career tho..Khan has had some tough fiights(Maidana and now Judah)but he has had a lot of soft touches as well..I believe GBP and HBO believe in Khan and expect him to deliver tbh..

        Am surprise they put him in with Judah, I think they want him to clean up 140 quick so he can jump to 147 after a fight or so and take on Mayweather pretty soon in England.

          Yep this is a fight golden boy have been pushing for since before mayweather fought Marquez, I remember schaeffer mentioning it then. As long as neither of them lose this is a HUGE money fight, it will break 2 million ppv buys easy if you consider sky and hbo. It is arguably the most money mayweather could make with a fighter not called pacquiao

            i think Khan genuinely wants to fight the best, he could have took the calzaghe route and stayed in england fighting bums under frank warren for far more money, but he chose to go to the states and fight bigger fighters and make less $$$

              I think the Maidana win answered a lot of questions. There were big ???? about his chin and he held up and surprised a lot of people including myself. After that fight there is no reason to doubt he can go all the way.

                Khan will dominate Judah and then hopefully Bradley will finally step in with him...Bradley has to realise he needs to beat Khan to get his name in the Pac/Mayweather sweepstakes.

                Khan has the advantage in terms of facing Mayweather because he could offer Mayweather a big event in England, has a backing from the UK bigger than any backing Bradley has and has Freddie Roach to stir things up with the elder Mayweathers.

                Bradley hasn't got the mouth, popularity or a team with the nous to get Mayweather or Pacquiao in the ring anytime soon and he has to realise that...the sooner fighters would realise their limitations and have more realistic expectations of how much they are worth the more big fights they would make.
