    Would be a good comeback/tune up fight.

    Spadafora doesnt hit hard.

    Even though you dont have hit that hard to hurt Khan.

    But def a very winnable fight for Khan.

    Spadafora would beat Khan. Too slick. Khan can't fight and has a Glass Jaw. Even Spadafora could Chin Check him.

    Actually, as a former PK fan, I woulda loved to see him regain his glory with this kindof fight.

    Now, I'd like to see him KTFO over and over again and see his purses taxed to pay restitution to his ex for life.

    But in the end, what would it prove(if Khan won)?

    It would only prove that Spad is a has been/never was.

    I would fully expect a decisive win for Khan.

    Khan would be a winnable fight for Spadafora. Even at this point. Spadafora does have skills and a pretty solid Chin (def not Iron but serviceable) and he has speed and a great Jab and can throw to the body and head.

    Khan doesn't have any real skills he fights like a robot throws the same punch combos over and over and fades badly after about the 5th rounds. He also has no power and a Glass Jaw.

    It would be an interesting fight for sure.

    Yeah, skillswise, PK coulda been a household name today like Marquez, Morales, Castillo, Roid Mayflower, Pacquioa, DLH, Hatton etc etc etc..........

    He was probably better than Khan is now, but success went to his head and he will forever be hated for his unforgivable acts against his girlfriend.:blood

    Khan is a very flawed fighter with a horrendous Glass Jaw and no power to keep his opponents honest. His skill set is awful which is limited to throwing flurries over and over. The guy just isn't a Prizefighter.

    I expect his management to coddle him and feed him a bunch of feather fisted bums with 20% KO rates and try and build him back up. The problem with that is he isn't going to get any better. When you can't even beat the Prescotts and Petersons of the World you should not continue fighting.

    Have faith.

    The biggest problem for Khan now is everybody knows his weaknesses.

    i know, yeah. ridiculous isn't it.

    khan would bust spada up real bad and stop him around the half way mark. it wouldn't be a fight in the slightest.

    Khan doesn't have any power. None. His only hope at a stoppage would be in the UK with a British referee to stop it while Khan is throwing his pitty pat punches against the ropes. The patented quick British stoppage :lol::rofl:patsch

    Spaddy got smacked around by midget Dorin and Sosa in his prime. Spad would never beat Khan
