    I, remember this guy very well indeed. He, had a long unbeaten streak against past prime guys, until he walked into don currry, who gave him a pasting!! Would he beat khan, thats a good question, no idea though!!

    I dont know if i have much faith in Nino's ability to come through adversity and try to seize back the initiative, he did seem to have a nice record was probably match carefully, moreso than Khan, as long as it stays a boxing match Nino would probably hold his own, to a degree.. but as Amir ups the Ante with those very fast combinations i cant help feel that Nino would go into his Shell somewhat, if you contrast the Mental attitude of Honeygan to LaRocca when they stepped up to face Curry, Nino had little of that confident Swagger as i recall, i think the same would apply here...If Nino finds himself in the unusual situation of taking fast hurtful shots from a verity of Angles, i think his main objective might be hear the final bell as opposed to looking to make something dramatic happen, but risk leaving himself open for real damage, I think Nino is a percentage player and here the odds - Boxer Against Boxer- Favour Khan. On Points unless Nino's spirit is completely Broken, then he might fold in the last quarter.

    I think the idea of Khan vs a prime Curry more.
