    Diaz hasn't been an elite fighter since about 2007, when he fought Juan Diaz and quit.

    Khan's people have got to be careful. The last fight was a joke and this is another mismatch, so whilst it's good to be learning, if there's a gulf in class between Diaz and Khan's next opponent, fighting at a low level for his previous couple of bouts won't do him much good.

    ****. What's the point in going up 3lbs then going back down? Us Ogogo is on the card and hopefully some decent US names are coming over.

    What Diaz? Julio Diaz? Juan Diaz? Antonio Diaz?

    They are all shot, shopworn tired old fighters.

    Another **** poor opponent for Khan't then... One that will look good on paper to get all the Khantards excited and allow the media to hype him up again...

    Why did Josesito Lopez turn down a fight with Khan? His promoter was speaking to Elie sechback and said that he wanted the Khan fight next for Lopez. Must of been either money or weight issues.

    I don't know why people are complaining about this fight. He isn't going to jump in with a top guy straight after hooking up with Hunter. IF he wins this fight, then he will either go after Garcia or move up to 147. Thing is, Khan will still sell a lot of tickets because of his style and vulnerability.

    You predicted the Argie would win because he'd been training at Wild Card, promised to leave if he lost & he got kayoed by a jab :lol:

    Strange if it was to be at 143, to me that suggests he's looking to make the transition to 147, can't see any other reason for it ?

    Where's Khans ESBs chief correspondent Darni? I need to hear his pearls of wisdom and unbiased reports before I make any rash or harsh statement.

    I wouldn't trust a word the OP says. He has previous for saying Khan was about to sign to fight loads of fighters that never materialised. Most of the 'in the know' stuff we hear about Khan ends up being a load of garbage.

    Saying that, if it were to be Diaz it's an awful fight. There would be no progression from the Molina fight and there really needs to be.
     
  15. plenty of pak's in shefield , so they will come to watch their man . Also bradford is near there to
