    I agree with the consensus.

    Oscar Ko-5, after pulverising Khan for the first 4.

    X and KOTF sure do love doing mythical mismatches. How about Khan vs. Roberto Duran?

    Khan said making 140 wasn't easy, and he has 30 hours to rehydrate, so let's match him up with welterweights under the old weigh-in procedures.

    Khan vs. Ray Leonard
    Khan vs. Thomas Hearns

    Wasn't comparing their jabs, it was more of a stand alone statement. I was impressed with Khan's jab. Of course, DLH has one of the best jabs all time.

    There's no doubt Oscar smashes Khan, but I don't think Khan is a bum. Oscar has always had trouble with speedy fighters or fighters with jabs so I think Khan would of been competitive for the first 2-3 rounds because unlike Paulie Oscar could bang and Khan has nothing on Oscar as far as power goes. Oscar would no doubt win the exchanges and have the better jab and just break him down and stop or ko Khan in the middle or late rounds. If Khan was a stationary fighter like he was against Prescott the fight would end alot earlier, but he's learned to move around the ring much more. Anyways Oscar by TKO.

    I never liked DLH and even I think he would destroy Khan. DLH only loses to HOFers.

    I'm only surprised it wasn't Julian Jackson instead of ODLH.

    Round 3

    Khan jabs and follows it with a reaching right hand. DLH slips it and smashes his face with a left hook. Most of England cringes in pain.

    game over

    Khan's speed is becoming way overrated. He's fast, but nowhere near as fast as a prime Mosley was... if your alluding to speed bothering Oscar. DLH had faster hands then Khan himself. People remember how powerful Oscar was at 135-140, but they forget how FAST he was. Khan has NOTHING for Oscar. NOTHING! Cant outjab him, cant outbox him, and the way Khan falls in when he punches he'd fall right into Oscar's hook, and then they'd be scraping A mere off the canvas. Two totally different classes of fighter. DLH was overrated during his time, but he was a great fighter. Khan is a hype creation.
