    Well one things for sure bar Abregu having poor punch resistance, Bradleys doing the 10/12. Punches from a bigger guy he needn't have taken. Maybe he'll show off his full array of skills, it's certainly an interesting matchup. But all rather pointless and a strange one to make, there's enough names/contenders at 140 or even someone like Forbes or Alfonso Gomez who has some recognition at 147, bit this Abregu is unheralded. Bradley wins? Who was Abregu? Bradley loses. Who was Abregu?

    Pointless matchup, even though it will probably be entertaining.

    How was Kotelnik not a 'legit champ'? I know, he was made for Khan, didn't have a big punch etc. etc....

    Con aint gonna fight any of the big guns at 140! When are you deluded fools going to realize this?

    Will anyone do a lifetime ban bet with me that Con won't fight Bradley, Alexander or Maidana in his next TWO fights?

    - He is a paper champ, if you didn't start watching boxing 6 months ago you would know this.

    - Of course everyone wants to fight him, he's one of the worst current world champions and because of his mug fans and GBP hype, brings the most money to the table.

    Con's career is all smoke and mirrors, and will be for it's entirety, until he is forced to fight one of the big guns and gets brutally rendered unconscious, exposed, and then retires with a nice bank off mugs like you.

    Just watch the next 2-3 years, I hope you are man enough to admit I was right when in 2-3 years time he still hasn't fought Bradley, Alexander or Maidana.

    6 MONTHS AGO? :rofl

    Seriously, You can print screen this **** now and I'm going to be dead honest with you.

    I don't think Khan will fight Maidana next. He'll probably fight JMM just like Devon Alexander and Timothy Bradley said they'd take in a heartbeat aswell.

    But the same people who matched Khan up with JMM when the Floyd-JMM fight was made said he'd wipe Khan even at 140. So please, if you've been around for so long you'd know the threads on here.

    And if Khan doesn't face any top opposition by the end of 2011 onwards I will admit I'm wrong. And don't worry, I'll still be here.

    But, if he does, you have to admit you're a joke and you're the fraud :deal

    Make sure you print screen this ****.

    Bad news is Bradley is looking at 147 and, can't believe this, Miguelito at 154!!!

    Apparently Bradley is cutting down from a 'muscled 160+'. Really bad signs IMO

    :goodtrue comment as usual by mr jerome. the khan fans are so delusional. since the paulie fight ive heard khan mention about 5 potential opponents and every one has been a lightweight. ie, katsidis, casamayor, murray, diaz (who got schooled by paulie), marquez,

    the guy really is scared of tough fights.

    His father and GBP know his limitations and match him accordingly. It's just sad that people cannot take the blinkers off and see what's in front of their eyes.

    I think any venture into dangerous territory will only be someone who presents Amir with a stylistic weakness that he can exploit to not get hit back. Be it **** chin, short reach or terrible defence, the puncher Khan eventually faces will probaby not be an A-level puncher(not in terms of power because featherfists can hurt Khan, but in terms of their application of power) although I think a B level fighter could still beat Amir. That chin is only gonna hold him back, because A) even Sweet Pea and Benitez got hit, so any kind of defensive refinement won't stop him whacked at some point B) he will have to avoid facing formidable opposition, or at least some supposed top guys, simply because it will be deemed easier to avoid them. He will never be a 'great', this I know.

    Probably a carefully navigated '3 weight world champ' though :rofl :deal

    It's a disgrace if he didn't want to get involved in that. I think those 4 are quality and a star, if not two, would be created from that tournament. Maybe even a trilogy.
