Khan himself said that he needs a couple of fights and that he wasn't going to fight FMJ until he's absolutely ready. Personally, I think Khan needs more than just a couple of fights. Hopefully Roach can convince GBP that Khan still needs a lot of work before fighting FMJ.
I saw Khan hit a ton by Madaina, but I don't remember him wobbled or out on his feet as some claim. Got a gif or a rd, minute mark, where I can see what you and the others are referring to. From what I saw was a oneside beatdown by Khan over a clearly overmatched Madaina. I remember Castillo vs $$May, and there were times I thought it was goodnite for Floyd. I remember Shane vs Floyd, and there were moments when I thought, OK, this is it, Mayweather is DONE. But with Khan, I just havent seen any of those moments except in the Prescott fight which was exactly what it was.
are you serious??? you didn't see the bomb maidana landed in round 10 that gave khan noodle legs?!? atsch
I think Khan takes a UD but I also think Berto is being underrated following the Ortiz fight and wouldn't be surprised to see him spark Khan out
GBP's plans are to stage the Mayweather fight towards the end of 2012 (November, if I remember correctly). If this is the case, then it should allow Khan maybe two fights before that. One in March/April, and one maybe in the earlier part of July before Ramadhan takes place (which will be late July). :think Hmmm. That's a very tough schedule to keep to.
Isn't there a plan in place for Khan to meet either Morales or Katsidis in Dec. of this year? Not really sure on this.
I think Khan's schedule for next year will be Kell Brook/Andre Berto or Victor Ortiz/Floyd Mayweather. Maybe that's me just being optimistic though.
He's having one final fight at 140 in December. They're looking at the Morales-Matthysse winner to get hold of that WBC belt. My guess is that they're hoping for Morales to win, but should he fail to do so, they might give the WBC belt a pass (because they'll probably see Matthysse as too dangerous of an opponent), and make a mandatory IBF defence against Peterson instead. Then they'll make that move to 147, and have their first fight there probably in March/April.
Whoever picked Khan by KO needs to put down the crack pipe! I picked khan Via UD.. it would be a good fight though.
