    I give Maidana a lot of respect & that is because he's a warrior.

    Khan is lucky the referee saved him that night, if he was a real man, a warrior he would give Maidana the rematch he deserves but he won't because he's a fraud.

      Im not sold on Matthysse yet . He has the power to ko Khan but doesn't fight with the same intensity as Maidana . I remember in The alexander fight ( the 9 th round i think) where he had come off two dominant rounds and then was outhustled . Alexander's footspeed isn't the best which is why Kotelnik and Lucas were able to land consistently . I think Khan can keep out of range of Lucas and win a UD with some awkward moments on the back foot .

      Anyways , it's already well known that this is probably Khan's last fight at 140lbs so you'll probably say he's ducking Lucas anyway

        So what if he isn't a pure boxer. He gets the job done. The best boxer is the guy who wins.
        I don't see that, I see it as the opposite but honestly it's not like I don't like the guy, I love his demeanor as a fighter, the fact that he's willing to walk through fire to get his in.

        Just that when it pertains to skills, he's not that skilled, he's slow and throws wide looping punches, if he were as good as he's made out to be right now, he wouldn't have struggled with Morales or Corley.

        In the bold, he clearly lost to Kotelnik regardless of what everyone else is saying. If I remember correctly, IF, think I had Kotelnik winning the first 6 or 7 rounds of that fight.

            All I hear is Khan constantly talking smack. He is just a cashcow that talks & talks & only takes fights that are virtually no risk all in hope of a big money spinner vs Floyd who is lightyears ahead of Khan and always will be.

            He will duck Matthysse, he will duck a rematch with Maidana & he will duck Guzman & every other fighter that is a risk of destroying his plans of a big payday vs Floyd.

            He's had everything handed to him on a silver platter and quite frankly I believe if most B calibre fighters was given what he has, they'd be in the same position as him.

            He can hide behind Prescotts lost since as much as he likes, whatever helps the fraud sleep at night.

              Well I don't know, one min he's staying to pick on smaller fighters, the next he's going to 147, then he's staying at 140. I don't know because he does nothing but change his mind & go back on his word.

                End of it all, you can't shine in every fight, Khans been dropped by super featherweights, knocked out & struggled against very limited opposition.

                You're all quick to dismiss Matthysse as an opponent it would seem but it's okay for Khan to fight Peterson? WTF has Peterson done apart from get a gift draw vs Ortiz
                He's got himself in the mandatory position?

                  Khan didn't mention going to 147 lbs after one more fight until after the Bradley fight fell through so I don't know where you're getting him going back on his word from .

                  Fair enough if you don't like the guy but I've seen you contradict yourself at times . You've said one minute that Khan Peterson is a 60/40 fight , then you say that Khan is a cherry picker and Lamont is a B- level fighter . You mention Lucas winning convincingly against Judah ( when in actuality it was a close fight and i gave it to Lucas) but you downgrade Khan's win as another cherry pick against a smaller fighter , which is what you'll probably say if he beats Lamont .

                    I don't recall saying it was 60/40 fight I'd say more an 80/20 in favour of Khan & based on the referees that ref Khans fights I'd say even though it's in Petersons hometown it's more like a 90/10.
                    Peterson isn't a very good boxer on the outside & he is the type of fighter who IS good in the pocket but will only get on the inside if you remain stationary & let him which Khan won't do as he possesses an amateur style.
                    Peterson is quite feather fisted though he does possess a half decent overhand right & unless Khans chin is even weaker than I originally thought he shouldn't have too many problems.

                    I won't make excuses for him beating Peterson, I fully expect him too & think it should be an easy nights work for him.

                      Yh I think it's a 60/40 fight in Khans favour.
                      It is very interesting to me as Peterson is bigger & has a longer reach - we all know what happened last time A mere con fought someone like that
                      So peterson isn't so bad and he isn't another small opponent for Khan

                      Like I said before , fair enough if you don't like Khan but at least be consistent in your arguments and making outalndish comments like Khan is the greatest cherry picker from our shores isn't really going to give much validity to your comments.
