    Probably a waste of time, be honest.

    I don't want to sound too down on Khan, but he should be looking at someone like Carl Froch for inspiration on how to fight legitimate fight after legitimate fight.

    This doesn't make all that much sense, to be honest.

    Carl Froch was 31 when he got a shot at a title and has to make up for lost time.

    That may be true, but then again.. nobody can fault him for his run since capturing a world title, it's been well proper.

    It's a stay busy fight, so i dont blame him. Still, Peterson would have been perfect.

    Why single Khan out for not being like Froch? Khan has just fought Maidana and the plan is Bradley after McCloskey. A lot better than the vast majority of belt holders.

    If he had not fought Maidana I'd be the first to scream 'bull**** fight' I will give him a pass for this one.

    Prescott is a bum...Amir would **** kick him next time....not really sure what the hold up for that fight is because I can see it being a good sell in the states....I also heard HBO was okay with it....I would have thought they'd shut that rematch down knowing that it wouldn't be competitive.

    Good fighter. Undefeated 22-0,European Light Welter champion.
    Hes Irish and is a solid,(just about)top 10, 140 pounder.

    As far as "stay" busy fights go,its pretty solid.
