    khan's an odd case. he's got a following and he's 26 years old. there's money to be made there. he's never going to achieve things fitting his lofty expectations, for sure.


    it would be a spectacle, the way all of khan's fights are. how's broner deal with somebody with faster hands than he has? and how spectacular is it going to look when broner checks that chin and hurts khan?

    it would be another awesome amir khan fight. par for the course. he loses, though.

    i'm picking khan to lose by knockout to almost any top fighter.

    mathysse, peterson, garcia, bradley [TR,] and broner would all knock khan out. at least i'd bet on them doing just that.
    You'd sometime's forget that Khan's still pretty young. Assuming he fights into his 30s, I wonder how his persona is going to change as he loses more and more fights. Even tonight the whole 'King' thing was cringeworthy, and how's he going to maintain that arrogance when he's clearly no longer a candidate for elite status.

    I think he could be a really entertaining fighter for a few years if we could all drop the pretence that he's destined for the top. Market him as an entertainer instead of a future great and you'd get a lot more people on board.

      Broner isn't an up n comer. And who does he cash out against? Broner is the biggest money fight he can get not named Garcia.

        It's not just his chin. If it was, he'd get through low level opposition without getting wobbled on several occasions. It'd just be a concern against noted punchers and the elite level guys. Khan's defence is so bad that even journeymen get him into trouble.

            He fights like he's in the ams. He's never been taught a proper pro style, it may be too late honestly. But that chin is a freak of nature. I don't remember the last guy who has a chin that bad.

                Great analysis.

                Broner definitely takes it, but it would be a good fight. Wouldn't be surprised if Khan is faster than Broner, but Broner's speed and power combined is far greater than Khan's speed and power combined.

                    I think the Peterson rematch makes big money as well. But yeah outside of Garcia and Lamont the broner fight makes the best money.
