    One is unproven at 140 and the other has shown he isn't the same at 140.

    Bradley, Alexander and Maidana have all offered Khan out but why isn't he taking the bait?

    If he wants to be a world champ then 135 pounders and hyped up nobodies like Salita isn't the way.

    BIG FIGHTS!

    Khan is following the DLH career. You are naturally bigger and can carry weight better so face the guys when you are bigger rather than weight drained. It doesn't hurt when they are one war further along in their career.

    Bradley, Alexander, Maidana and Khan need to face off. It's very simple.

    Katsidis Vs the winner is far more meaningful.

    I see Khan facing the winner of Guerrero-Casamayor. Wouldn't be surrosed anyway, Guerrero will be labelled a 'two-weightWorld champ' :lol:

    What's wrong with it? It was fine for Mayweather at 2 weights higher but not for Khan.

    Khan can be figured out and is a bit predictable. JMM's got a great trainer who will look at all of Khan's tendencies and try to take advantage. By no means will it be a blow over if JMM has anything left.

    In the end, it will be JMM'S DECISION. NOT Khan's. If he wants to move up and fight for a 4 weight div title then it'll be JMM'S choice, NOT Khan's.

    It was NOT fine for Mayweather at 147, that was a joke fight that enhanced his already pithy resume no further.

    100%. Katsidis versus the winner makes for a great fight. Khan has his rivals and they ain't at 135.

    I agree with every word of this :good

    I actually seem to be one of the few that thinks Diaz is being overlooked way way too easily , lets not forget Diaz was up on 2 of the 3 score cards before getting KTFO :deal , i think what would be the worst scenario of all is if Marquez wins a close decision and GB still make the fight , that is where old Nacho should step in (like last time) and give Marquez a little 140 lb risk assesment :deal, in summary i actually think Diaz will win the fight , and if he does then Khan has to fight a Jr Welter .................

    Khan keeps saying he wants to unify the titles but he's eyeing up the oldest lightweights he can find. Katsidis or Marquez would be good, big fights but they are from different weight divisions and Khan's size would probably see him through.

    Because he won't fight anyone who isn't either shot/faded, small, or a light-hitter, or a combination of the three. The one time he didn't, he got annihilated. That's not hating, that's fact.

    If JMM puts on a show tonight, I don't see how anyone can complain. It'll be Khans toughest opponent hands down.
    Also, remember after the 1st JMM v Diaz scrap, JMM said he only wanted big fights. He got Mayweather and he headlines the PPV tonight. Khan is the biggest fight out there for him. I wish it was Katsidis but the money isn't on the same level.

    Diaz might have been ahead but Marquez was clearly WINNING the fight, if not the rounds, from about the 4th onwards.

    Diaz's punches were louder, easier to see than the short rights and lead uppercuts through the guard..... and also the body shots.

    Those clearly weakened him, and the cut all but finished him off.

    Dinamita by KO again :deal

    I agree. They made that mistake once and they won't make it again. He turned down a massive multi million dollar pay day against Pacquiao. If he won't fight Pacquiao and earn millions who the **** will he fight?:-(
