Lmaoooo no comment. Not trying to get in the way of this.

Khan can win but he better make sure that Robert Byrd is not the ref because Byrd make fighters fight out on the inside, he doesn't break at all. If Porter is allowed to get inside and work inside then I think Porter outworks Khan

If Khan can keep his distance and spacing then I think Khan hand speed can win him the fight. You have to get Physical inside with Porter, that is what Diaz did to get their fight to a Draw and that is what Kell Brook did. If you don't have a Inside game vs Porter it is going to be hard to beat him. Backing Up is a terrible way to fight Porter because he is very quick and allowing him to just come forward like that and considering how wild he is, I could see him catching Khan with a Wild Overhand Right

It's a good fight and I doubt it'll be easy for Khan. He seems to struggle against come forward, aggressive brawlers who are able to close the distance and fight him at mid-close range. Khan doesn't like being put under pressure, especially someone who has the power to spark him.

Porter can be one-dimensional and attack in straight lines which can play into Khans quick flurries and fast feet. If Khan can put on a disciplined performance, it's his fight. I tend to lean towards Amir on points but if Porter can close the distance in a similar way Algieri and Peterson did and land those awkward hooks, a late stoppage isn't out of the question.

Porter by decision. He won't KO Khan but he will be in Khan's face in every round and maul him. Khan isn't as big and physically strong as Brook and Porter is fairly fast on foot so I don't see how Khan could get away from him. Porter is a really awkward type of fighter and you have to have either a strong, decent jab which keeps him off or you have to be physically stronger or equally strong as him. Later is very hard since the guy is a powerhouse himself, the former can be executed with very precise technique. Brook had both of these but still had a rough and ugly fight with Porter what I wouldn't call an easy night for him.
Khan... His jab is solid, but imo not solid enough, he won't KO Porter, that's almost sure and physically he is probably weaker than Porter.

So Porter by a rough UD.

You don't seem to have much faith in your buddy Amir.

I'm confident Khan wins a decision in a rough and tumble fight. Stick to a good gameplan, use that considerable reach advantage and foot speed and fight on the outside (bull v matador type of fight)

Khan would get mauled by Porter. Porter is physically too strong for him and he isn't flat footed. Terrible style of matchup for Khan.

Khan was supposed to lose so many times before, my money's on my fighter. A so called rejuvenated Collazo was supposed to KO him and Alexander was a 50/50 tough fight.

Khan would be better off with fighting Thurman. I think he would probably lose there too but he would have more chance, because the thing Khan really doesn't like is ahigh volume pressure and Thurman would probably try to box him, at least at the beginning of the fight.

Where are all these "many" times he's been supposed to lose?

[Box-Office]

You started that whole thing you muppet

As for the point, Khan would get iced. He knows it, you know, everybody knows it.

Which is exactly why this fight won't happen. He's also not going to fight someone Brook has fought. Losing to a Brook victim would make him look really bad especially after shamelessly ducking Brook for years.

You're butt hurt cuz you voted Brook by stoppage against Bradley.................................Skeete.
