    Mike Jones isn't too great IMO. I think Khan will adapt pretty well to moving up in weight. He's the type of fighter you want, you've got to be pretty explosive. It's the speed that is your biggest weapon moving up.

    at the time people fought witter's loss was as much to do with him being focused on hatton than bradley being anything special.

    I know who Mike Jones is, Khan would take him apart, I like how a few fights ago Mike nearly punched himself out in the first round, lol that was funny.

    Hatton's reign at 140 is so over rated. Shít, he fought Carlos Maussa instead of Miguel Cotto, a guy Cotto had already beat. He didn't fight Witter, a long term rival who'd been calling him out for years, who held the WBC and instead fought Juan ****ing Lazcano.

    Khan took apart Paulie much easier than Hatton did, and Paulie was coming off the back off two solid performances against Juan Diaz, where as against Hatton he was coming back of two struggling performances against N'dou.

    I actually see him at LMW towards the end of his career, they'll do the weight right and make sure he carries his speed up rather than looking to bulk up. He'll be fine :good

    How are 147lbers going to match him for speed more than the 140lbers were you donk? Mayweather aside nobody matches him for speed and even that one is close.

    You realize that generally speaking bigger people are slower than smaller people, right? As a general rule. You are aware of this? I would of thought its kind of common sense, but I guess not.

    He's not going to be fighting Pacquiao you ****ing idiot. It's about as likely as Vitali fighting Wlad. It's not happening.

    There is nobody there that matches him for speed. Berto is completely irrelevant at the moment, whys he even being mentioned? Even if he does he throws 2 punches a round so who cares?

    So aside from Mayweather who is there? Khan's faster than Ortiz, he's faster than Brook, he's faster than Zaveck who Berto is fighting anyway. He's faster by a long margin than anyone thats actually relevant in terms of fighting Khan - aside from Mayweather. I can go on and on through the list...Mike Jones. None of them 'match khan for speed'.

    you sound like a massive idiot when was the last time khan faced and beat a fighter who had height and reach advantage over him?, the last time he faced some1 who was taller then him he was sprawled on the canvas in less then a minute, You know nothing about khans style he comes forward but is not an effective counterpuncher he cant fight off the back foot mike jones would press forward and throw volumes of punches with khans none-existent head movement and lack of defense what do you think will happen,

    Man if you named Ortiz or Berto I would reply, who the **** is Mike Jones really, are you for real? Has Mike Jones even had a live fight? Who has he beaten?

    This guy is not even on Khan's radar, I want Khan to face Kell Brook in his debut fight at 147 at least that's a good domestic fight.

    Jones beat Bruseles, who is one of Floyds biggest wins.

    Its a fair point that we don't really know how Khan deals with fighters taller than him. IIRC Prescott is the only one...

    Mike Jones may have looked shite in the first Soto-Karass fight but Khan would be moving up and fighting a much stronger, taller and decent fighter. Its not a foregone conclusion.

    You could probably make a strong case that he achieved more than Richard Hatton already. Certainly would have done that if he scalped Bradley.
