    Ive not seen him fight but if your right in what you say then that will be enough to see Khans clock cleaned on the night.

    he'd have to do something significant in order to earn my respect going back down to LW and KO'ing Presscot and then beating john murray would be a good start

    Moving up a weight and winning a world title against an opponent that you make him a significant underdog to is less significant than beating John Murray? :?

    if he beats khotelnik which i highly doubt it will be more to do with khotelniks health then khans ability, khotelniks too solid for him,

    What's wrong with Kotelnik's health?

    Or are we dealing with the 'Khan can't possibly beat Kotelnik so if he does it must be for reasons that he shouldn't get any credit for' school of logic here?

    its inconcievable to thik of khan winning without dogyness i'm being honest, with the punch resistance he has i can only see 1 outcome to the fight i'm sorry if u'r opinions are to the contrary i just cant see khan winning this

    This is going to be a tough fight for Khan and it is a big step up in class for him. He will be up against the most talented fighter he has fought in his career. In addition, he is moving up in weight which will mean he will lose some of his speed and power and if he had trouble taking punches from lightweights, just imagine the risk inf ighting a LWW.

    I see this as a 50/50 fight, credit to Khan for taking this fight. I think Khan needs a few more tune ups and I would have liked to see him fight David Diaz before fighting for a title.

    I know some naysayers will say he is handpicked but that is pure bull.
