    Unless Khan's confidence has truly plummeted, I would have gone for Kimbrough rather than ***an. He is less of a puncher but a better boxer and all-round fighter. It's not as if they are proving anything by letting ***an have a crack at Khan's chin. Khan has taken better punches than ***an is capable of landing, without that much trouble, in my view.

    What? Like the ones he took from murderous-punching KO artist Willie Limmond!

    What punches has Khan eaten for breakfast from bigger punches than ***an? I'd love to know. It seems every time he's hit he is either knocked down or hurt.

    ***an is certainly not as good all-round as Limond. Surely you are not arguing Limond punches less hard than ***an, are you? If, then, he isn't ready for Limond yet, he should at least fight someone like Kimbrough. ***an is too much of a backwards step in my view and wouldn't check his chin either. Khan took Gomez' punches, he was up against Earl...I wasn't thinking of Stefy Bull, you know.

    Sorry I am just a hater.

    He certainly got favours in the Limond (especially) and Gomez fights though.

    He took a shitty arm punch from Gomez and went down and he was seriously hurt by a body shot. Earl was shot to **** and didn't even land a decent punch on Khan.

    Back to fighting bums then! Obviously been relegated to box office undercard.
    Hope all talks of Khan becoming world champion is done, fighting a 34 year old 22-5 ranked 206 is hardly going to get him there. I heard pacman ko him in sparring.

    The Gomez punch was a cuffing shot, one you would expect a fighter to take. The body shot was pretty heavy though and would trouble most fighters - especially ones that are useless on the inside like Amir.

    I take on board everything you all said and I don't disagree with it either. However, if Khan's chin is so poor that even an average punching average journeyman should from now on be considered a threat, why are you all still interested in Khan's comeback or his future prospects?

    I am not arguing he should go in against a puncher. I am arguing he should go in against a better fighter than ***an. ***an is not going to prove anything about Khan that we don't already know; he's not a puncher by any means, not even when compared to the kind of fighters Khan has faced before Prescott, and he is too far a step backwards for this fight to help Khan come back.

    You may disagree with me about my conclusion, but I can't see why you would want to convince anyone ***an has the kind of punch that could cause Khan difficulties, poor chin or not, without agreeing that Khan's career is effectively over, if he has to take ***an's power very seriously. If Khan's career is effectively over, why bother getting at all excited about his next opponents or future prospects?

    Would you have said it was a jab, or a straight?
