    Bounced up is an exaggeration, he was on legs of jelly and looked pissed as a fart.

    Earl didn't capitalise and got whooped.

    Well, Khan wouldn't have come through the first round if Katsidis showed up like that.

    Besides, he will fight Alex Arthur next. Mark my words.

    Khan is a joke.

    khan will be too fast for ddiaz. khan's only problem will be a lucky punch from david. even though he's not a big puncher, i think his power is enough to ktfo khan.

    Most top boxers would KO Khan if they connected with decent shots unfortunately (at least at Lightweight). I meant Casa would be better than Diaz in terms of the challenge he represents, not because Casa would be easier.

    no, his problem will be stamina.

    David Diaz can get on the inside and he can bang to the body and he can wear his opponents down. For further info watch David Diaz vs Santa-Cruz. No lucky punch there. Diaz wore him down and knocked him out.

    Also David Diaz is a southpaw. He just might land on that chin more than you think. And he might crowd Khan more than he likes to be crowded. Khan's footwork is nowhere near that of a guy like Pac. His lateral movement is jerky and awkward.

    He'll beat Diaz and Casa. Diaz hasn't fought in almost a year and Casa's career is all but over. He won't beat Marquez in a rematch and will be further worn down in every fight afterwards.

    Khan's skillset is only going to sharpen. If he doesn't get caught with anything silly during these fights he is going to pile on the rounds.

    Guys like Katsidis and Juan Diaz would be the perfect test. They got the energy and reflexes to see where he stands.

    Khan would beat Diaz if it wasn't for his chin. He has the speed and skills to win, but if he gets caught it's over.

    I have to feel for Khan.

    Casamayor would time him and stop him after being behind on the cards. Casa is no fool, he made Marquez hesitate at times, who probably has the best timing in the sport after Mayweather.

    Diaz has a strong chin but his punches are slow and not powerful, and his mobility is non-existent. Khan would absolutely dominate him, though Roach might have him take it easy and go for a decision, rather than risk tiring out.

    I'd say Khan wins this, but against Casamayor, Pacquiao and all them, no. Maybe we could see Khan/Diaz or Khan/Katsidis, if the Moses fight dosent fall through.
