    He's not though is he? That's the whole point. Instead, he fights Martin Kristjansen for some bogus WBO eliminator that means absolutely nothing.

    You realise Casamayor is Cuban & that he is coming off a very impressive KO win over Katsidis? If you saw that fight you would know Khan is a long way off a fight with him.

    You're basing that on what exactly? Did you see the Casamayor Katsidis fight?

    Casamayor-Katsids? I saw an old man struggle with a young, unproven slugger.

    IF Khan is going to be a world class fighter, he beats Casamayor now.

    I hate Frank Warren, I want to know if Khan's chin is soft or not. Either way I want to know. I hate feeding him non punchers to the extreme.

    If the chin is ok, Khan is an olympic medalist who has looked good in the pros so far... Casamayor is a shadow of what he was 3-4 years ago. Khan beats him.

    There is no way Warren will put Khan in with Casamayor based on his last performance. Come on, we all know how Frank works. He'll be hopin the WBO strip Campbell so his boy can fight for the vacant strap.

    So how do you foresee a fight with him & Khan panning out?

    And you still say he's overrated? He might not be top of the pile, but to say he is overrated is a bit odd to be honest.

    I'd never overestimate Warren, to say Khan will fight anyone ever...
    But if he doesn't step Khan up while Casamayor (36) and Campbell (36) are holding belts - what the f*ck is he waiting for?..
    The whole lightweight division is waiting to be taken.

    haha.. i think hes over rated when people say hes gonna knock out khan. I dont think hes over rated, comparing him to most boxers i think hes a tough fighter.. but unless he managed to hit khan and KO him with a luck shot i couldnt see him beating khan in skills and boxing abilty

    i dont think hes over rated!! i think hes definitely up there with the best lightweights

    Whenever one of Khan's opponents has tried to actually come forward, take the initiative and throw punches, they have had success to some degree. I can't see how Khan can keep Katsidis away for 10 or 12 rounds. Khan would have to eat big shots at some point, he isn't that hard to hit. His lack of decent opposition will haunt him and he would be in serious trouble.
    Remember, Katsidis would not be willing to lose, unlike some opponents Khan has faced.
