    Devon truly impressed me today, his punches were perfect I don't think Khan would want some of that. He showed toughness in the fight that Khan has yet to show. The way he ko'd Urango was awesome.

    I would say at 140 Devon is the man!

    The way Devon finished Urango was awesome, especially considering Urangos great chin. Id make him even money against Bradley, but i have to admit i would have made him an underdog against Bradley prior to the Ko. If Khan had a chin id say his potential is unlimited but he would eventually get kod by Devon. Im not gonna jump on Devons bandwagon and claim him to be some one punch bomber cause i do realize that was a perfect shot on the button, but i do think he has good power and more than enough to ko Khan and enough speed and boxing ability to no doubt get there.

    He was in the eye of the hurricane and remained composed waiting for the opportunity to do what he did. That win said a lot to me as Urango was beginning to turn up the pressure and got ko'd.

    Bradley is solid but I don't wan't to see them fight just yet I want to see either of them fight Valero.

    Id rather see Valero stay at ligtweight i think he can really prove himself to be on everyones pfp list if he stays there. I dont think that will happen if he goes up to 140.

    He can't make that weight anymore according to the people I know. You could see it on him before the fight started he looked kind of dry.

    I want to see Valero take on fatton and send him to retirement.

    Yey im confident hed flatten Hatton for good. I dont think he fares well against a speedy boxer with a solid chin at JW. I wonder if how hard will be punching at JW:huh Harder or not as effective?

    He did not seem to be able to hurt demarco so I wonder if it was becuase he was drained or his power is not carrying over.

    However,Mighty Mike's trainer told me that Valero's should do fine at 140

    Khan to win. Khan should fight madaina, then Alexander to get the title and after that a fight with Bradley which he might be ready for by then.

    I see Khan beating most fighters in this weight class. Only one am unsure about is Bradley.

    I think Kahn is has all the tools to be great, except for one major flaw and thats his chin. He will get some big wins based on his excellent skills, but his chin will eventually let him down. Reminds me of 2 fighters with great skills, whose chins let them down every once in a while. Terry Norris and Roger Mayweather. If he is succesful as them that will be a great achievement but to be an atg or PFP top guy you need a chin. Norris got as far as possible as someone with a weak chin can go.

    The way he described the punch that Valero hit him (with sparring gear on ) made it sound like a standing ko. He said he has never seen a fighter do that ever.

    His chin as of recent hasn't been tested and Paulie hasn't got what it takes to do that. If he does then Khan will be in big trouble. Thats why they won't take the bradley fight until are good and ready. Hes got the tools to show Khan up, so hes going to have to get some good fights before he even considers it and roach knows hes not ready for that type of fighter

    He has a glass jaw... Paulie could knock him out. Your Chin does not improve with weight gain and don't say Pac has as no one has been able to connect with a good punch to his jaw to test it.

    Well even though i think Malignaggi is a good fighter he doesnt pose much of a threat since he cant punch, and although Paulie has very good boxing skills he most likely wont outbox Khan. Good matchmaking on Kahns team, but eventually they are gonna have to face fighters that can punch, seems like they are taking their time in doing that.
