    Another light welterweight for Khan....

    As limited as Provo is, and don't get it twisted, he is. But he's got a good punch and a great heart - Pretty much kryptonite to Khan. There's a good chance Khan gets iced in this one, which is why it probably won't happen.

    If he does beat him? Big deal. Other limited guys have beat him before.

      If you don't see a pattern in consistently fighting featherfists, I feel sorry for you.

        I still rather see Khan-Thurman simply because of the importance of the matchup, but Khan-Prov is no doubt a fun fight, but Khan doesn't need Ruslan atm. His sights should be on Porter, Thurman, Garcia and Brook
        Nah, Brook doesn't deserve Khan. Ruslan (2-3 in his last 5) is fully deservant of winning the lottery that is the "khan sweepstakes".

          Didn't Khan leave Haymon?

            Rumours are that Haymon proposed a fight with a welterweight.

            Obviously Khan cut the ties then and there.

              A 140 pounder who's lost all of his big fights? Not too excited about this one even though Ruslan can punch.

              Rather get Ruslan VS Rios and Khan VS a top rated WW for once.

                Porter: not busy
                Thurman: not busy
                Garcia :not busy

                So let's fight Ruslan. Makes sense to me....

                  Pretty sure Porter and Thurman match up is next.

                    Don't see Khan taking that one.

                      I'm rooting for Provo the whole way if that happens. Hopefully that clown gets put to sleep.........again.
