You gotta have more confidence than that bro. I mean, he's proved he can go onto the next level. He completely outclasses Malignaggi and Kotelnik. The next level is the likes of Judah, Bradley, Maidana. I hope it's Judah to be honest.
Tommy I am not a fan of Judah by any means but he would rip right through Khan. I would love to see this fight but I don't think it happens. Ever. Too much risk for Khan.
If my Aunt had balls she would be my uncle. Khan ALREADY had the chance to fight Maidana months ago and paid him to go away. Khan is a disgrace. He has no Chin and is scared to death to fight anyone that has even a decent punch. Until Khan mans up and takes on a puncher how about you shut your mouth?
Boxing is not all about facing big punchers, Khan has displayed great boxing skills his his last few fights at 140. Khan has stated many times he will ready for anyone at 140, but its his promoter GBP pick his fights. If JMM is now out the window, and with Bradley-Alexander close to being signed GBP should make the Maidana fight next.
I have never said Khan does not have skills. All I have said is his management is pulling one of the most disgraceful jobs of handpicking opponents I have ever seen. My point was he should have ALREADY fought Miadana by now. Instead he fought a guy with 5 career KO's. Eventually he is going to have to fight someone that can punch.
Thats my point, How long can they keep him away from big punchers? he hold's a title, also has a big following he cant keep away from these guys forever its not going to wash anymore. Even me as a big Khan fan, if Khan dont fight a decent/big puncher in his next 2 fights then i wont even defend him. Khan is ready for anyone at 140 right now, IMHO Khan would school Maidana with a tight gameplan from Roach.
Exactly, it's his management, not him. I really don't think Khan's afraid of anyone in the division, honestly I would favor him over anyone in the division. His management clearly doesn't believe that he's ready for the top dogs though.
There is nowhere to go but up now, he's taken care of most of the lower rung contenders. Best bet is Maidana or Judah, it would be funny as **** if he fought fatty Guzman or something though.
I think Bradley and Alexander will fight each other as will Maidana and Corley and Marquez and Katsidis, which leaves Urango, Zab, Ortiz, Mitchell and possibly Guerrero. I don't see them throwing them in with Zab as I think he could prove too dangerous, I don't see them throwing him in with Ortiz as Khan would beat him and GB don't want that, which leaves Urango, Mitchell or possibly Guerrero.
Not sure how Judah and Maidana are a level above Malignaggi and Kotelnik. Maidana lost to Kotelnik and Judah hasn't beaten anyone to justify such a ranking in five years. Realistically Maidana is on the same level as Kotelnik and Malignaggi and Judah might still be a top 20 fighter, maybe.
