    I just read that he only plans on fighting twice next year. like everyone else i didn't see a great deal of improvements in his game i wasn't expecting a massive overhaul in his style, he seems to think the more punches he throws the more points he can rack up the quality of punches isn't all that great. i think with him having 2 fights a year he seriously needs to fight the 2 best guys in his division his career will be meaningless if he fights anyone outside of a garcia/matthyse/peterson/marquez.

    Khan should have a fight in May/June, just so he and Virgil can really get some good, quality work in.

    I'd have him face two opponents similar to his last opponent just to get his confidence back up, prolong his career and just to give his faculties a rest.

    he needs to leave boxing if he can't beat garcia or peterson in rematches, their good fighters but not elite.

    Could happen, Peterson wont try to box this time at the beginnin he would just rush in and stay on the inside like the second half of their last fight

    Anyone else sick and tired of fighters (especially ones who need to regain credibility) only fighting twice a year? I know it's not 1958 anymore but imposing a limit of two bouts a year seems rather restrictive.

    Agreed and it means that their legacies as fighters usually suffer as well Khan should be having at least three if not FOUR fights in 2013 two against decent fighters early 2013 and two against elite fighters later in 2013 and that way he could rebound perfectly.

    But logic will likely fail and he'll probably end up making a huge mistake that costs him his career.

    I don't see the point in fighting too many more Molina's, it doesn't achieve anything financially or for credibility..so yeah...I'd say a Josesito Lopez is the absolute minimum standard for him to be looking at.

    Thats not a bad fight, if he can get through that it makes the Garcia rematch a little credible.

    i think the one month of ramadan also is a factor in this

    according to his dad his weddings is around april time even if this is the case he should be put in a stay busy type of fight around the beginning of march and fight again early july before ramazaan and finish off the year getting sparked by danny garcia around December time.
