IBF Champ Alexander vs Khan in the fall.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

If he adds another 4lb to his neck he'll never be hurt again.

I know he's got a wedding and Ramadan coming up, but damn I can't help but think that's a lot of time spent not tied to the hip of Hunter and learning and working. IIRC Hunter wasn't too happy that Khan was going to take a bunch of time off and not be with him working in the gym.

Brook isn't even the IBF Champion. He's fought a bunch of nobodies. I used to give Brook no chance against Khan but since Khan's been with Virgil and based on his last outing against a D+ fighter, I think he actually knocks him out. I am not a fan of this move of trainers by Khan. It's like Virgil wholly got rid of Khan's biggest asset (his attacking style) and tried to replace it with something that isn't him.

Whilst Freddie was 0 defense and Hunter is 0 attack, I still conclude that due to Khan's vulnerable chin, Freddie is and will always be better for Khan than Hunter. At least with an attacking style, Khan can KO opponents with his power rather than waiting to be knocked out himself. Khan's defense is just not good enough.

For this reason I hop he gets knocked out again

You have Hunter telling him he needs to spend more time in the gym and here is Khan waiting until August till he goes back to train for his fight in December

The guy will never learn, after every crap performance he says he will be training in between fights and he never does

**** a wedding, go make a success of ur career, ur girl can wait, jesus this kid will never learn, when he gets knocked out next, his excuse will be he never trained in between fights

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

Funniest and most accurate quote on this forum ever!

Khan had no future with his all-out attacking style, it was getting him caught far too often (against Peterson, Garcia)

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

That's his problem; he shouldn't want those fights just yet. If he was realistic with himself, he should know that the Diaz fight was a clear sign that he still has a long ways to go, assuming he can ever develop a decent defense. He needs a lot of tuneups, a lot of improvement before he can compete with those guys at all.

Alexander is not fighting Brook! How does the writer not know this?

[ottocon860]

Maybe Khan vs Broner at 147? Khan gets one more title fight if Broner beats Malinaggi?
