    Khan can try to box circles.Lucas will be waiting oh so patiently for him to drop his hands.

    God almighty. I like Amir but people in the first 5 rows are going to be fishing bits of his face out of their pints.

    Lucas applies waaaay to much pressure for Amir to stand up to it. IMO
    Arguably Matthysse punches harder than his compatriot Maidana & has better fundamentals.

    Amir takes alot of shots & would not have the punch it takes to make a Lucas type respect him.
    Again... IMO

    I'd pick LM by stoppage mid Rds.

    Matthysse lays him out and early. Khan cant take a punch, and everyone knows it now. Hell, he fought a bum in his last fight and looked shook as hell. Gonna end up like Audley.

    Matthysse would actually kill Khan.

    The fight to be made at 140 to decide the #1 is Danny Garcia vs Lucas Matthysse, without a doubt. These two are clearly the best in the division, are both on a great run of form and are with the same promotor. The fight makes perfect sense and has to happen.

    Exactly. I'm still surprised when people hold so much stock in Khan. Those that say he's still young and can still do this and that... I think, fighting-wise he's pretty old. He's been in some wars, been rocked a lot of times and he has changed his preparation and fight tactics on more than one occasion. By this age, he should be honing his style and looking to perfect it. Against Garcia he adopted a downright idiotic game plan and was KO'd. Badly. The way I see it, he's back to square one. He is where he was against Prescott, except he has aged. Yes he's in better shape etc, but that means nothing when you can't implement it.

    Amir was hurt by Peterson so I think its safe to say Matthysse can hurt thus guy easy.
