    Looking at the Beto and Ortiz fight, I say Kahn doesnt have the power to stay with those two. Considering his punch resistance is not too hot either I think he may struggle at 147 like Hatton did.

    Yeah, Khan's in trouble against those two. Maidana, while more powerful, is a wild inaccurate slugger. Berto and Ortiz have more accurate and crisper punches. That shot Berto used to floor Ortiz in the 6th? Khan would be down for the count if he's not doing the chicken dance.

    Yes he could, make take him a year to be able to put the weight on the right way, but he definitely could.

    We'll first see how he does against Bradley at 140.

    I've always thought Ortiz is all wrong for Khan, despite Amir stopping him in the amatuers.

    Amir wouldbeat Berto. Berto has a huge right hand, but I believe a stronger Amir can outbox him easily to a UD.

    I say probably, until he get's hit with a flush Berto like right hand anyway :yep.

    Seriously, I figure with Freddy in his corner, he could probably do well at WW, but I do foresee a brutal ko sooner than later at that weight.

    thats the shot that made me write the thread. No way Kahn would have got up of that.

    He has no power now, can he be matched well to win fights by UD and pot shotting his way to a Decision? yes? Maybe a rematch with Paulie at 147?

    Because Ortiz and Berto will spark him out.. unless he runs like his most significant win. BUt Morales already exposed how good maidana was.

    Give Khan his dues he has a good chance to unify the division. Also, Morales is hardly a bum.

    But yeah, I doubt he would last long in a ring with Ortiz. Too strong, too much power.

    SURVUVE - Move Amir Khan does when impersonating Manny after being hit.

    :lol::lol: You're an absolute twat.

    Your posts are laughable. You literally nut-hug every Mexican fighter that you notice.

    Learn to look past your hate and give credit where it's due. No power :lol:

    That was emberassing he was doing that while getting hit and backing up...

    Manny does it then comes back with a sick ass combo... when pac is really hurt he never raises his hands...

    only when people think he is, does he raise them...

    Khan is an Amateur ESB hype job... if he beats Bradley or Ortiz Berto in spectacular I'll give him praise.. but I ain't a fan of pot shotters like Paulie and Khan...
