    "I'd love to go in with Khan, but he doesn't fancy fighting me, because he knows I will beat him and he will take a pasting,'' says Murray.

    “We’ve been after a fight for years. If Khan wants a fight, I’ll knock him out in two rounds. Lee was a genuinely credible opponent but I’d like to fight Jon Thaxton next, he’s the number one in Britain.

    Murray is just irked being on ITV4.

    I heard all of murray's fans singing "are you watching amir khan" after the stoppage. I dont know if Khan was watching, but i watched Murray being outboxed for half the fight by McAllister, and if he hadnt been such a daft lad he could have won by sticking to his gameplan. As it was, he let himself be dragged into murrays fight, and to give credit where it due Murray did show tenacity and faith in the right gameplan, even when it wasnt going his way. But Khan is a far better boxer and more powerful puncher than McAllister. While he might not have his chin, he certainly wouldnt be daft enough to get into a slugfest with Murray, and i could see Murray being stopped in the 5th or 6th if they ever get it on.

    not to be unduly unpleasant but saying "yeah, yeah, definitely" a lot does not make one articulate.

    Khan has more of a bang than some give him credit for eg Limonds broken jaw,Faigan 'the fist magnet' Gomez the human punch bag,Earl straight down after the first flush punch......
    Khan comes in with more power than Mcallister and faster too

    It was only 12/18 months ago that MAB was mixing it up with JMM and Pac in fights that didn't suggest he was done. What has the past year done to MAB? He has had 2 fights at 135-140 but against average guys.

    How many times has MAB been written off and comeback with legendary work!
