      Really? Then why the hell does he suck so badly? lol the dude barely squeaked by a guy who lost to ToMatto Can Hatton...smh

      As for Khan, I would prefer if he stayed there a little longer but the money is up north. I'd like to see him face the Holt-Garcia winner, Matthysse, Soto (if he gets by Maidana, which I'm confident he will) and Bradley at 140. Rios isn't ready yet. He'd get KO'ed early.

        ''Yes Stay, To fight Morales, Rios, Guerrero''...LOL! HAHA! Oh LOL!

        The only people that want to see him fight those guys are Khan fans because there is very little risk in seeing him fighting any of those much much smaller guys.

        If Khan gets past Peterson which I fully expect him to I would like to see him rematch Maidana or Prescott (either one mainly to shut up critics) and go on to defeat Matthysse (Who I personally see giving Khan hell based on styles) Either Matthysse or the winner of Holt v Garcia.

        If he does that which isn't me asking for an awful lot before snaking off to 147 then he'll at least have my respect.

            The only reason a lot are saying he is too big for 140 is because they either know **** about boxing, they are a bias Khan fan or are fooled by the kid being rather top half heavy.

            He is only 1"-2" taller than most of the top 10 at 140 he seems to avoid like the plague & appears bigger because his legs aren't carrying much mass.


            It's rather obvious he will trot off to 147 & have it all easy by fighting a 40 odd yr old Mosley who is a shell of his former self & can no longer pull the trigger to get a big name on his resume.

            He won't take risks by fighting the likes of Randall Bailey, Berto, Jones, Brook etc
            If he does fight a tall 147 it'll be someone with light-average power like Brad Solomon.

              It's nice to see a Khan fan that speaks the truth & keeps it real. I personally feel Khan needs to beat these guys, he needs more experience before even thinking of fighting Floyd. He'd have a much better chance if he didn't rush by going to 147 & fighting shot fighters.

              IMO he needs to still take risks at 140, pull through, get upto 147 have an easier fight to adjust to the weight & fight a few riskier guys. If he's to have any chance of beating Floyd he needs the experience & to not rush the fight.

                Think he should stay at Light-Welter for another 12 months, if he beats Peterson (tricky fight but should prove to be too good) then re-match Maidana, wins that he'll have tremendous respect from most in the boxing world. Then after that try and get the Bradley fight before moving up to 147. Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Prescott either and shut a few idiots up once and for all.

                Please don't fight Morales, personally I'd like to see him retire and go out on a high.

                Once he goes upto 147 the worlds his oyster, in 2 years time I think he's in a position where he can beat Floyd and become p4p number 1. A fight against Floyd next year = not a chance for Amir.

                  Only if Bradley finds his balls. Really want to see Khan smash him. No other fights at 140 really interest me.

                      Alexander, Clottey? No thanks, he can move up to face Jones, Brook, Zaveck, Ortiz, Berto.
