    Too much arguing bout this, the first decent puncher with speed will snuff him out anyway

    I thought I explained my reasons for thinking it quite clearly in my post - I get that you don't agree with me though.

    if its good enough for calzaghe, hatton, eubanks and the rest why should the rules be different for khan? and dont give give the ppv BS excuse..no ones forcing anyone to buy it. The only people what want to rush him into fights he's not ready for are the "haters"..of which there are plenty round here!

    I think it's fair to say he's going to have to face Maidana if he wants to keep the belt though. How would you feel about that?

    If they can't beat Maidana Khan may as well go home. I'm not saying it ain't risky, but thats what fighting at the top level should always be. We keep hearing he's improved this and that, but its time to put that gymwork to the test. Maidana has little boxing skill, is easily hit, and can be hurt himself. It's no more risky than facing a skilled fighter with decent power that is more likely to land big shots.

    Very difficult to say really. I'm sure Roach has a say in these things, Fwank is bound to consult him such is his 'genius' at the moment. In an ideal world they'd probably like to avoid him but luckily for us, a big puncher has come up as his mandatory. So unless they have no respect for that belt they'll have to locate their balls. I'd guess its probably 70% likely they'll avoid it knowing Frank Warren as we do.

    My own opinion is they should take it in the next few fights, its very winnable and would earn Khan legitimacy as a world class fighter that can not only beat opponents made for him but also work around his weaknesses to beat difficult foes.

    You are using hyperbole and untruths to justify your argument thats why. Make an argument based on facts and facts alone, and people will take you more seriously....and PLEASE, don't use the "mere con" ****, it wasn't funny or clever the first time someone used it and after 75,000 outings it tends to get old :deal

    I'm more concerned that he has Audley Harrison in his avatar than the quality of his posts, being 100% honest.

    How will Sky promote it though..... bearing in mind he has a loss to Kotelnik?

    I don't think promoting the fight will be much of a problem. They can mention that he lost 'a razor thin SD decison in Germany', or words to that effect, and then show some footage of Victor Ortiz crying.
