    What will be your reaction in terms of who he is fighting...morales came of a close decision wit maidana however he will not do the same with Khan and is years off his prime....i have a feeling that Khan will choose morales with the same reason he chose barrera.....to get a W over a LEGENDARY BOXER!!

    However how will you react...is it justifiable in terms of who he should be fighting at his age or do you see this as another rip off....Khan vs Judah = Judah uppercut, Khan vs Guerrero = awkward southpaw with power in both hands and in prime.....so looking at it from Khan's point of view Morales is basically a low risk high reward win for him as it may boost his popularity in the states over a faded fighter...

    **** WHAT I JUST SAID....BRING ON KHAN VS JUDAH.....NONE OF THIS BS IN TERMS OF FIGHTING AN OLD 34 YEAR OLD FIGHTER....DESERT STORM IS OUT OF THE PICTURE AT THE MOMENT LEAVING U WITH JUDAH OR GUERRERO....PICK ONE AND STICK TO IT!!:twisted:...by the way he will pick morales....as much as i like AK as a brit his team makes the decision which makes AK their *****!

    You know what, I don't think I care anymore. I'm sick of the complaining in boxing. I'm sick of the "HE'S TOO PAST IT, HE'S GOT NO CHIN, HE'S SCARED, HE'S ON PEDS", I just want to see a fight. With everything that's happened in the past year, I'm not gonna embarass myself opening my mouth and crying a mismatch, even if it is, because fighters like Morales proved you can never count them out.

    Khan can fight Willie Limond again for all I care, I'm just sick of the bitching. As long as it's a good fight, I really don't care anymore.

    I've said a lot of **** about Khan, and I've been one of those who've complained about his negotiations, but ****ing hell, I'm so bored by the arguments and then the shitting on him for whichever opponent is picked, I don't know whose in charge of the negotiations and it just doesn't matter to me. He's 24 for **** sake, why does he even have to jump in the ring with all these ****ing guys when he's proved his worth and is clearly trying to negotiate a fight with Bradley. He shouldn't be pushed in a corner before and after every performance and just get all this ****ing abuse because when he's tagged he turns into Bambi on a frozen lake. There's too much focus on outside of fight night now.

    I dont like Khan v Morlaes because its just one big money making exersize.

    Morales is just coming off a loss against the man who Khan has already beat... There is no reason to make this fight other than money.

    Id much prefer to see a rematch against Madiana or stick him in with Judah

    No thanks. Morales is still well past prime. Khan having two names such as Barrera, Morales, on his resume is just BS.

    **** this fight. If Khan was in the old days fighting ten plus times a year, okay. But a 'World title defence' when he's only going to fight three timex max?!?!?

    No f'n way, and not just because I'm a cynical *******. Khan would give Morales little of the chances that Maidana gave him IMO.

    Luckily I don't think it's going to be Morales, he's having a fight back in Mexico sometime in July.

    Schaefer's saying it's going to be Judah or Guerrero for Khan. Hope it's Judah.

    It's the shittest fight out of all the ones being banded around in my opinion. It brings lots of dollars to the table, brings big audience on TV and in the crowd and poses Khan the least problems thats why they will try and sign it.

    Its not Just Khan is it? Its his team and if Morales and Barrera are still fighting when they are past it and allowing other to get big names on their resumes thats up to them...

    So blame the likes of Barrera and Morales for comtinuing on cos they cant stop or need money whatever it is..

    The only man I wanted to see Khan in with, was Bradley.

    But seeing as though that Robocop-head idiot left it right until the last minute when turning back on his word, I won't blame Khan for picking whoever he does now. His eyes are firmly set on Bradley and unifying the division, so it's no big deal if he picks a softer opponent in the meantime. And if that softer opponent is Morales, then it's good business, is it not? Very few people complained at Maidana for fighting him, and very few people are complaining at Bradley for taking an easy opponent next.....so why is Khan such a **** for looking to take on Morales?

    But it wasn’t bull**** when Khan-Barrera was first announced, was it? Being only two rounds on from the Prescott loss, many thought it was a ballsy move in taking on an experienced legend so soon. But after the result, all of a sudden he gets criticized for picking on a faded fighter?

    And where was the outcry when Maidana picked on Morales? Where was criticism directed towards him? I mean, we were all under the impression that Morales was a completely shot fighter, so wouldn’t then have been the perfect time to condemn someone of picking on a past-prime legend? Unlike now, where Morales is coming off an extraordinary display – showing us he has actually got a lot of fight left in him?

    I mean, don’t get me wrong, I too would prefer Khan not to fight Morales. But considering he’s having to make last-minute changes (putting off his desired Bradley fight for a few more months and looking for a keep-busy opponent in the meantime), fighting Morales isn’t that big of a crime. Everyone’s acting like Khan is the first and only person to do this terrible thing.

    Nah, it was bull**** beforehand too. I wasn't posting on here then, but i can't believe people were saying otherwise.

    I thought a lot of people condemned that fight
