    Lopez may have trouble coming back down to 140 right away after that farce against Canelo

    Interesting, So when Lopez wins Khan don't lose his ranking @140?
    (Pretty smart move)

    Lopez wants the fight at 145lbs, Khan wants it at 143.

    Lopez is a tough fight for anyone at his natural weight. I would pay to see Lopez v Khan. Good fight imo

    A catchweight of 143 would be fair.

    But Khan, in my opinion, should stay away from him. Lopez would do a Peterson type job on him.

    Lopez' last fight was at 154. This is a big ask for him, it's always tough for a fighter to fight having come down in weight.

    Yeah, but it was clearly not a good weight for him.. he was bloated and doesn't looked filled out at 154 at all.

    Who should he fight ? I've got a feeling Khan hasnt got alot left to give. Looked shocking in his last fight.

    I doubt Khan would get in the ring with Josesito Lopez. Lopez hits him and makes him shaky.

    He fought a guy moving up in weight who was already known as a light puncher at his natural weight. Molina tagged Amir numerous times, If he was in there with anybody with any kind of power he would have been done. While he won every round any boxing pundit could see he still carries serious flaws.

    He didn't look shocking at all. It was a good performance. Did you expect him to become someone who never gets hit overnight?
