Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Does Not Rule Out Move To Welterweight

[Russian Crushin]

I personally think he should move down to 105

[The Tase]

rule out? wtf?


he should already be there. He goes to 147 and with his glass chin, british backing, he's a cash cow's (pacquiao/floyd) wet dream.

stop wasting time.

If you're gonna get knocked out, let it be against great competition with a great purse. His body/weight is certainly more suited for 147 than 140.

If he got rid of his enormous ego and all the delusional thoughts in his head that's probably about what he would weigh.

They mentioned the Brook-Alexander fighter a couple of times. Thought Brook pulled out of it. Anybody know if thats still on?

The Brook fight is definitely not on, they've made a mistake. Alexander is fighting Lee Purdy now!

[bojangles1987]

I used to think that was a good idea, but not anymore. Not unless he fights nothing but pillow punchers.

Why does this say Khan might fight the winner of Matthysse-Peterson? The winner of that fight gets Garcia, then the winner of that fight crucifies Khan, right?

[YOU WILL LOSE]

khan looked soft in the fight. softer than usual but now i wonder if it helped him not get finished off , thoughts

[Weebler I]

Come on man he isn't ducking anybody. He wants to fight Danny and Lamont but its not happening right now.

Lamont Peterson might take the Khan fight after he loses to Lucas Matthysse.

Anyhow, Khan needs to move to San Francisco to train full-time.

I know Khan has gotten ko b4 but his fight was very similar to Bradley's fight. Both got knocked around and almost finished multiple times. I know I'm gonna get laughed at but it's true. And I don't buy that Tim fought that way to try and prove something. He tried to be a tough guy and got clocked. Amir too. Well not really he just got clocked but its the same ish to me. That's the fight I wanna see. Amir vs Tim because honestly I don't think Tim even deserves to fight Marquez after getting hammered by a guy like Ruslan.

the difference is that ruslan is a power puncher and diaz is a guy on the decline. If you get hurt against ruslan, it's not out of the ordinary. if you get hurt against diaz, you should probably cash out soon

I can't help but think he's ducking the whole of the 140 pound division if he moves up. I thought he was guaranteed to fight either the winner of Garcia and Matthysse/Peterson winner? The Welterweight division is even more wide open.

khan should duck the jr WW tourney and try to cash out asap. We know he has no chance against the winner of the WW tourney

I still can't get over how young Khan is.

But anyone else get a feeling his career is drawing to a close?

He'll get a title shot next most likely, and one in which he will most likely get stopped in if his current form is anything to go by, and then is it even worth his while dropping his level of competition so he can rebuild once more?

Hope he can prove me wrong, though.

yeah, Khan has been slowly declining... roach delayed it a little bit, but the end is close now

What Khan needs to do is go DOWN in weight maybe at featherweight he wont start break dancing every time he gets slightly tagged on the chin XD.

[MDPopescu]

I see Khan has "Ramadan issues"...
He's planning to move North into the 147 division -- that is precisely what Danny Garcia just said he would also do.
