    Lets Make Khan V Clottey @ 147lbs

    I think Khan has outgrown 140lbs, He should have moved up after the Judah fight instead he stayed at 140lbs and lost his next two fights. I think Clottey is a solid test for Khan, Also Clottey has not fought for a while so the experience of Clottey v Khan who is coming off a few losses should be a good fight.

    I know Clottey was boring and is boring to watch, But Khan is exciting to watch and so this should be a good fight, It would be a classic case of a crossroads fight.

    Why not, he needs to build his confidence up after losing 2. What better opponent than the human body bag to make him feel great?
    Clottey can use a pay day

      Khan will be matched with soft punchers for his next few fights. He will never be an elite fighter, good luck to him though

        Khan has clearly stated that he is staying at 140, and I think it's the right move personally. Danny Garcia recommended that he go back to lightweight because despite being tall, Khan simply isn't that big of a guy (I realize this was mainly an insult). The punches are only going to get harder. And there is no way Clottey can still make 147. I have my doubts if he can make 154 honestly. The guy is naturally huge and his inactivity is not going to help him out.

          Clottey would stop khan. Clottey will not fear khan like he feared PAC plus he knows khan has a glass jaw. Clottey by late stoppage if this fight happens.

                I say Clottey would destroy Khan.

                  Clottey would kill this kid. Leaping body shots and uppercuts, impregnable defense, strong chin, decent power...spells "nightmare" for Khan.

                    Interesting fight, and like I've said before I think Khan is weight-drained at 140. He looked too top-heavy and had skinny legs in the Garcia fight. He needs to move up to 147 and add about 3lbs of muscle to his legs to give him better stability. Also his conditioning coach didn't do a good job of balancing him out like Ariza did, which is why Khan came into the bout looking too big up top.

                    But the last time Khan got knocked out, he moved up to 140 and looked much more stable, that was like 3 or 4 years ago so it's enough time to outgrow a division again. 147 is the right move, and Clottey wouldn't be a bad opponent.
