    Khan in against Diaz or Marquez would be quite possibly the quickest KO EVER.

    Nah, Diaz is feather fisted but I doubt he'll beat Marquez anyway.

    A glimmer of integrity remaining in the sport?

    If the WBO want to be considered alongside the big three then they need to make these kinds of decisions.

    I expect Marquez to beat Diaz, but doubt if the judges will allow Marquez a win, if I were Marquez I would so for a knockout to get a split decision. Marquez is a good fighter and should win, but I suspect will be cheated if it goes to a decision.

    diaz might be a light puncher but he is like a mini tyson in comparison to willie limond, no offence willie just trying to make my point that khan gets koed by the baby bull, jmm batters diaz though

    It goes to show what the Ring title is worth if they feel the need to grab the WBO "world title" too.

    If Khan beats MAB looking good, would Frank let him fight JMM-Diaz winner late 2009? Khan would be mandatory challenger.

    Not a snowball's chance in hell.

    If Khan looks good beating MAB it probably (ie: definetly) means that Marco is shot to bits.

    I actually think The Ring is the way forward, it's bizarre that they feel the need to do this. I'm glad in a way though because it means we won't have to endure Khan being called a 'world' champion. The only reason I can think they feel the need to do this is because it would give the winner a bit more in the way of bargaining when it comes to fighting other belt holders.

    And what if the fight is a thriller and MAB gave Khan a good test and he came though and won the fight?

    J.Diaz or JMM(moved up weight) not really big punchers but have great work rate and boxing skills. Khan does have his crazy fast handspeed and is getting better under Roach, improving his defence.

    Warren wouldn't put Khan in with Diaz or JMM unless they were totally shot to bits.

    For me, he has come to the conclusion that Barrera is shot and feels it is a worthwhile gamble.

    Had this been for the WBOgus title, and Khan had won, expect at least 18 defences, 15 of them easy ones, before Amir fought someone of the same calibre again.

    Khan has the handspeed, and may improve his defence - but any Euro level (or US/Asian equivalent) fighter will always have the equaliser. His chin is that bad!

    Warren is a total wanker.
