    trust me, alex arthur can fight, i've been watching him since 2005 and he's very good when on form. he is also a very hard puncher.

    dont be surprised if he upsets khan.

    Cant see Team Khan being happy about this fight. Arthur is a superfeatherweight which fits their criteria... but he is also dangerous (which does not).

    This is the kind of fight kahn needs if he wants to move up, aruthur is a solid euro/wolrd contender but isn't that fast and his chin isn't exactly granite either i could see kahn outboxing nd maybe stopping him. However if arthur kahn overcome the early onslaught from kahn and get him ro dig deep aruthur could come out on top.

    I don't think anyone would be surprised if Khan got beaten again, now we've all seen what happens when he gets clocked :shock:

    If Gomez and Limmond drop Kahn, Arthur could put him to sleep.

    Of course he could Kahn is decent on the offense.

    Kahn is the size a JWW and needs to start fighting people his own size, even though Arthur is a step up in class, albeit small.

    I want to see a rematch with Prescott, put his demons to sleep or get KTFO out again.

    aruthur is now a lightweight though he can't make superfeather so they are the same size.

    i know what you mean but if you make the weight your the same. i think it would be a cracking fight true test for both fighters and something to get the british public intrested in
