    Look for Khan to take advantage here and Frank Warren to pull out the money to get the mandatory WBO shot , Khan vs Campbell this late this year. How do you think Kahn fairs in the fight ?

    Depends what Campbell show's up I suppose. The Campbell that beat Diaz would beat Khan.

    If he turns up 1/2 focused Amir would knock him out.

    Campbell is 36, Casamayor about the same. I think Khan is better served by taking it easy until these guys are out, or at least have aged another year. Right now, i really don't see how Khan is gonna cope with Campbell, who's probably gonna go for the Katsidis-Casamayor winner anyway.

    If Campbell fights like he did against Diaz he will KO Khan.

    I think Khan's speed will cause Campbell alot of problems , Khan fights soon , it will be interesting to hear Khan and wanker frank warrens plan once he KO's that Dane.

    :patsch

    It's much too early to write off Diaz or Campbell. Khan is underdog against both...

    Khan has never been up against the pressure that campbell showed tonight. I'm not sure he has the experience to cope with it.

    Sure , im not trying to write them off at all , Khan will be the underdog but will now be considered part of the world title scence , has the WBO mandatory and servaral other top 10 ranks at the weight. 2008 looks like the year for Khan to step up.

    I want Khan to do well, but let's be realistic. He ain't got the experience! It'd be crazy to put him against Diaz or Campbel before he's faced a decent puncher or a pressure fighter. Come on! Let's keep our feet on the ground! What'd be the point of throwing Amir at the dogs...?

    Let him become experienced and then you put him up against the Champ...like they did with Enzo.:good

    ;)

    Enzo HAD to step up against the Champ if he was to regain some credibility. Khan doesn't have to go against the Champ...it'd be crazy! He needs to be brought along niceley against a puncher and a pressure fighter first...then, you go against the Champ.
