Khan, if you or your team are reading this, at the end of the day, despite how it might seem, no one who matters really cares whether you have a good chin, or not, if you get good results. You do not, and I repeat, do not, have to take fights against undefeated fighters with excellent KO ratios to win anyone over, or prove anything. Ultimately, your chin is not as good as you think, or want it to be, and that is ok. Adjust your style to suit that, take sensible fights to get your career back on track and don't take stupid fights like this one where it's more to do with your pride than your career.

You are risking losing opportunities for better and bigger fights by taking bizarre matchups like this one. Diego Chavez might end up being your kryponite (again), but chances are you are more talented and can acheive more, so don't waste your chances, they are running out fast.

Good post mate. However im sure it will fall on deaf ears.
Team Khan will be the undoing of Amir......shame

Not all his teams fault though. He is his own undoing

[mishima]

i doubt Chaves will be his next opponent

[smegmaa]

he'll take some shots on the chin, think he's granite, win the fight; fight somebody else who can punch, trade, and get ko'd......

Chaves looked impressive in that fight with El Massoudi, explosive puncher.

I find it funny how everyone 99% of the time complain about fighters ducking, diving, taking easy fights etc. yet when khan decides to take on a challenge even after getting knocked down people are still moaning

[Clint Eastwood]

If he is going to go in with a puncher. I think he gets more respect for fighting Prescott again. To improve on his last fight with Prescott he just needs to stay up for 30 seconds.

Shouldn't be a challenge though should it? Bar the K.O% Chaves is a totally irrelevant fighter.

This fight would be at 140 as goldenboy are asking Chaves to come down in weight with the lure of a title shot if he beats Khan, i personally don't think this fight will happen.

Sounds accurate.

In that translation, Chaves was talking as though he will need to consider it. Here's your chance for great exposure, and you need to consider it? Yup, sounds like he's being asked to move down in weight.

With nothing to win everything to loose ,another stupid move by Team Khan. They must want to end his career.

[mishima]

team khan probably think that if Khan beats him, he would then have no problems with Lucas
