      This is a good fight for him. He will be with a new trainer coming off two loses. But Molina is the unknown factor, he might rise to the occasion and upset Khan

          Even Virgil Hunter cannot teach him how to improve his chin. Khan's using the De La Hoya playbook and blaming his trainers to rejuvenate his career, while he continues to not listen to them. How can this guy offer big deals to some opponents, yet not give peanuts to Prescott for a rematch in demand?

              Peterson maybe lacks power but Judah and Garcia?

              Khan has taken on a good few of power punchers, problem is three of them have either KO'd him or almost KO'd him.

                Khan has taken on a lot of power punchers.
                khan has taken on power punchers, yes, but I would not call judah a power puncher at that current state in his career when he faced khan. judah was a mental midget in his prime, so as he got older, well, it speaks for itself as I'm sure everyone knows.

                but the point is, khan has taken on power punchers and tough fighters, does not shy from anyone, but perhaps nowadays, he should...

                  Makes sense. He just started working with Hunter and will need time to fully incorporate everything he learns. Hunter was the perfect choice and this could be a career-changing move for Khan. However, there are rumblings from his camp that he has a lot of growing up to do. If that does happen, who knows?

                    He's fighting a guy in his prime so have to give him credit for that. Still I don't think it would be long before we see Amir on his arse.

                    Be interesting to see how he looks after a camp or two with Virgil.

                      Molina will trouble Khan enough that if it goes to the cards, he may lose because he is fighting a LW and people are tired of his mouth. If he can't dominate this guy an it looks like Molina deserves the W, Khan will not get any special favors.
