    I think most acknowledge that Khan is a good puncher when he sits down on his punches, just ask Malignaggi and Maidana. His problem is he chooses to shoe-shine and run more often than not, instead of standing and fighting. Which fans don't want to see

    There would be no problem if Khan had a good chin and decent power, but he doesnt.

    He should see off all viable contenders first.

    I never said he was. I said he walks around at about 160 lbs. That's pretty light for someone his height. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference by just looking at Khan if he were 152 or 158.

    Yeah, he could be 160 now.

    But maybe the weight falls off him easily when training? I don't know. He seems to be finding it really easy to make weight this time round; which suggests to me 140 is still good for him.

    he might be able to put some more muscle on his legs with the move up in weight

    You will see the best of Khan at 147, trust me.


    His body is ready to move up now, Peterson stalled the move up.
