[Hypothetical] Amir Khan v Lucas Matthysse to silence critics.

[TGD]

like angel garcia said "Maidana didn't even train for that fight! He trained for two weeks sparring little kids in Puerto Rico!" which it true BTW.

Which is why Khan wants no part of a rematch with Maidana. As Freddie Roach said, Khan should stay away from punchers.

if he fights lucas hes gonna get sparked, if diaz and peterson are able to wobble khan then lucas will put him to sleep.

lucas is a genuine power puncher who can finish fights with one punch.

last night khan showed the same faults he always has done - he has a bad habit of backing out of clinches/exchanges with his hands by his neck or chest and this leaves his chin exposed and a good counter puncher or a powerful puncher would KO him. he still pushes opponents off him and has no inside game.

honestly he needs to avoid JMM and lucas.

I think TS is assuming that Matthysse is as crude as Maidana.

[sings] MISTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

Matthyse would end him. Khan would leave the ring in a body bag.

[Craveman]

Although all of you saying Matthysse would beat Khan. So much to the point you all make it sound like it's almost pointless to make the match up. The fight still need to happen because I want to witness it.

I wouldn't give any fighter credit for beating Khan at this point. He has too many weaknesses to be considered a legitimate contender for a elite 140 pounder.

Sorry to say, but Khan is bum level. Exciting but that's it. If Garcia or Matthysse agree to a fight with him they are cherry pickers.

Khan is not a bum level. He will win rounds VS any fighter he faces, but his serious flaw is his ability to take a hook.

Except for Prescott.

Matthysse would silence Khan for good. That should be obvious. Khan barely excaped being KOed by Diaz with help from the referee and Lucas is ten times the fighter Diaz is and a real KO artist. The Khan that fought so well against Maidana, Paulie, and Judah under Roach is history. The new, improved, Hunter trained Khan stinks and has no future at the championship level. Garcia seemed to have ruined him. His chin is worse than ever and his confidence seems to be gone. He can only beat hand picked opponents now in my opinion.

[Los Zetas]

Except for Prescott.

In the future I don't think he will get blitzed in 1 round again.

[KickAzz]

Now obviously I understand bad chin + good power = very possibly of Khan but if he could fight and overcome Lucas Matthysse - over whom he has sizeable physical advantages, would that silence the haters?

I recall the Maidana fight where no one gave Khan a chance and he came thru. He may be able to keep away from LM and secure a points win?

Certainly more agile, quicker and a better 'burst' puncher.

I think you want to end Khan's career
