Thoughts on a Khan-Mike Jones matchup at 147??

Why haven't we discussed this matchup yet & who takes this??

Khan by decision. I just don't think Mike Jones is very good.

Good fight!
A very interesting fight.

I think they have similar styles, with Khan having an edge in handspeed, Jones being the bigger, stronger punching guy more proven at the weight.

Tough fight to call, both IMO have stamina issues but I'd probably have to lean towards Jones to stop Khan.

I really do not think Khan would do well at 147.

Khan wins UD or late TKO, but this fight wont happen, Golden Boy and Team Khan are just milking Khan to get the most out of him in the next couple of years.

Khan has said he wants to stay at 140 and regain his belts, but Schaefer has contradicted him and said his next fight will be v the winner of Alexander/Bailey for the IBF title at 147.

Expect Khan v Alexander, then possibly Kell Brook or Paul Malignaggi, before talks start again of a fight between Mayweather v Khan for late 2013.

Everyone is talking about Khan leaving Freddie, Khan needs to leave Team Khan back in the UK and make his own decisions, you cant exactly leave Golden Boy but ditch Team Khan.

I really do hope Bailey wins, what I would give just to see one Bailey right hand connect on Khans chin.

I think it's an interesting match up. Khan is getting weight-drained at 140 in my opinion, he should be able to perform better at 147. I can see Khan taking it by a close decision. If Jones hadn't got reckless, Bailey wouldn't have KO'd him and he wins a wide decision. Kind of similar to how Khan-Garcia would have turned out if Khan didn't get wreckless. Jones is a good boxer, he just got wreckless and got caught. But I was rooting for Bailey in that one so I'm not complaining.

Khan by SD. Close fight.

I made a thread about this fight a while ago...only a few hit it up though....I think Khan fits the type of fighter Mike can shine against....there's bigger punchers at 140 than Danny....but there's no bigger puncher at 147 than Bailey.....Mike's chin holds up against any other WW imo....Mike handles Khan's speed with his jab and catches Khan midway through....Khan does the dance and yall know how it goes from there....one of Khan's most underrated weapons at 140 is his size....all the dudes he's fought at that weight mentioned how big he was afterwards.....that bought the comment from Danny's dad about Khan not being so big after the last fight

I think this fight will forever be a fantasy scrap...I'm cool with that

mike jones would knock him out. much more intelligent, well rounded and skillful fighter. he would expose khans flaws and tear him apart.

Im not so sure I agree with him being much more intelligent and rounded and skillful. Its easy to be smarter then Khan as he's pretty thick, but I think they are quite equal when they are balanced out.

Until recently I would have favoured Khan, but i would say it's a 50/50 fight now. Both guys are flawed and have skills, but maybe a small edge goes to Jones on size alone.

I'm with you guys. I really don't think Khan is that big, 1st & foremost. But like you said my bwoy, to talk about this fight now makes a tad more sense than before they both got stopped.

Anyway, Khan is long, but he isn't that big as proven by the 7/8lb's he re hydrates to on fight night. His biggest advantage is his length at 140. Mike has him there. I think Jones fights tall & stops him inside the distance.
