Comments Thread For: Khan Excited About Schaefer's Tourney Plan, Eyes Garcia

[flint]

Of course Khan is happy, the rest of the fighters have to walk through fire in their fights, and Zab isn't a pushover when motivated. All Khan has to do is beat a shot fighter who's best days were when Khan was still an amateur!

totally agree

This interview did not come off well. Khan made himself look bad. The good thing is that khan has to fight someone else after diaz because the dates don't matchup. He should fight a good fighter and then people will get off his case

Interested to see who he fights in the meantime. If Peterson loses to Matthysse, a rematch with Khan would be good to show improvement.

Just thought - Golden Boy are obviously putting Khan as final prize in the 140 tourney as they want him to develop and be ready in the meantime

And if anyone's looking particulaly strong in the tourney (like Matthysee) they will claim he's "unable to do 140 anymore" and budge him to 147...
this 143 fight with Diaz adding credence to the latter.

Problem is, Broner is likely to beat Malignaggi and Khan will have nowhere to hide at 147. (Though think Khan would do damage on Broner, before getting sparked clean out).

He should either fight the LP-Lucas loser or the winner of Maidana-Lopez

I'm excited too.

Lot's of good fights to look forward to.

so that's the plan to let khan clean up the division, wait to the smoke clears then step over the dead bodies. boxing's version of the royal rumble

So they are having a tourny and Khan faces the winner. Hes lost 2 of his last 3 so wheres the justice in that?!

I bet if Prescott was in the tourny Khan would move to 147 although his other fathers, Peterson and Garcia are in it too.

Say what you want about Khan but he is an entertaining fighter and brings in the fans. Garcia, Peterson, and Lucas are legit but don't put butts in the seats. Fair or not, the prize is a big money fight with Khan at the end of the year.
I think he beats Garcia and Peterson in a rematch. Would love to see him fight Mattysse though. Would be a good test to see if Khan has progressed as a fighter or is who we all think he is.

[Rajon34]

thats is exactly the way its set up.are you confused?

Lol read again I said Khan should fight the WINNER of the LOSERS of the Garcia-Judah and Peterson-Matthysse, so if Peterson loses to Lucas and Judah loses to Garcia then Peterson fights Judah and winner faces Khan then winner of that fights the Garcia-Matthysse winner
