Khans return fight ?

I think Cano who has just won the WBA regular title last night. The guy who lost to Morales, or even Morales would be a good fight.

 

Lamont Peterson

 

Prescott is a horrible fight for Khan, still.

He should not fight him, yet.

 

It'll end in a KO

 

Peterson or Prescott... either would be good, it gives Khan the chance to reverse a loss and set the record straight.

 

Because Prescott has improved greatly and I think Amir just does not do good with taller fighters. Prescott has long ass arms and even Khan doesn't use his outside game too well. He'd probably bust him up with the jab.

 

I don't think Amir should come back straight into a tough fight. He should have a couple of 'easy' wins in the UK. Build back his confidence and work towards a big fight. Having another KO lose straight away would REALLY mean the end for him, imo. They could take the risk, throw him in at the deep and hope that a big win gets him back on the track, but the risk of losing and consequences of getting stopped again are far higher, than the rewards of winning.

I think he should work towards a Bradley fight. He might also think about having about 6 months or more off. Just letting his body recover, working out his plans and most importantly hiding away in the gym and trying to fix some of his flaws, ones that are fixable, because many of his flaws are not at this point. They're just too ingrained.

I also think, and i've been saying this for a while, that he's fighting at the wrong weight. His frame is just too big to be at 140. I really do believe that. Not saying it would make a big difference, but it's definitely not helping him. He's able to make the weight because he's so dedicated, trains so hard and lives right. But it doesn't mean he should be fighting there. I've honestly seen smaller middleweights then him. People will say, well if he goes up there will be bigger punchers, but it's up to his braintrust to choose the right fights. They need to take care from here on because his health is on the line. He's just taking too much punishment right now and i hope it doesn't show on him later on.

 

I gave Prescott a chance pre-Peterson, all this "he's moved on" shite doesn't matter. I just think a fighter who is taller and more 'rangey' than Khan with power is always going to cause him problems.

Its a fight I'd like to see him take but yeah if he's loses than he is well and truly ****ed.

 

I think Roach is slipping and can't communicate with his fighters as well. But he's still a great trainer, i'm not sure what good a change in trainer would do at this juncture. Khan is what he is. Maybe they could bring someone else in. I noticed in the Garcia fight, Roach was giving him instructions, but it looked to me like Khan wouldn't even hear or understand him. He even told him to clinch and do everything neccesary to survive after the first knockdown, but Khan was looking around not even paying attention. So perhaps get someone in for corner work. I don't know whether Roach can or is willing to teach some of the stuff that Khan needs aswell.

Things like clinching and inside game are not stuff Khan will learn at this point. There's only two flaws of his that CAN be fixed, the rest as i say are too ingrained. Things he picked up from the beginning which he will NEVER be able to drop because he wasn't taught well.

Froch is a totally different situation. He wasn't knocked out and isn't as vulnerable. The risks with him were far less. Khan's career and more importantly health are hanging by the balance. You just can't handle him to get 'respect' right now. The right things have to be done. And there's nothing like winning.

You see, Khan has been handled greater than his skill and potential. What i mean by that is, his career is being planned and mapped out like someone who's gonna be a great. When in fact he was never gonna be a great fighter. You have to admire their ambition, but it also showed a lot of naivity. His ambition is far greater than his talent. Team Khan need to humble themselves and re-evaluate their targets and admit he's not what they think he is. He's basically close to cashing out stage, so you work towards that.

 

None of this take some easy fights nonsense. They were talking p4p level only 2 fights ago so let them show some quality. They say he has heart well then let him show the heart to get back to where he wants to be. It's sink or swim time he should take another reasonably tough fight at world level. Lamont Peterson would be fantastic that would definatly show he has the balls.

Victor Ortiz at 147 makes perfect sense and last chance saloon for both at the highest level.
Even if he were to fight Kell Brook or Ajose Olusegun at 140 I'd be very impressed with that considering they are dodgy fights which spell the end if were to lose.
