    He did look quite big in the Maidana fight.It could be that he is getting naturally bigger with age.I bet there is some truth in this rumor,there usually is with this kind of thing.

    It would be bad if he didn't make the weight everything that could go wrong has he's fightin for no money, can't make the weight if he doesn't make it he will be stripped of his title. This could be good for mccloskey

    Maybe. I'm confident he'll make the weight for the fight but wouldnt be surprised if it was a struggle for him. He's relatively tall for the division and his body is probably still developing.

    I have to say though, that he did look a bit drained at the presser yesterday. Just my opinion.

    nvm

    I doubt he's struggling to make the weight, more that it didn't go to plan.

    These rumour were started by a fan on the Paul McCloskey facebook fan page! They have also said Khan was seen in two track suits today. But even if its the case can you imagine how Khan will look if he does come into this fight at 147-150 with his speed and power! This will be a quick fight considering im hearing Paul is half a pound under today to will enter the ring around 142/143 tops.

    Khan's not a powerful puncher. Fact. Going up in weight will not improve that.

    I wouldn't write off Khan's power too much. If he starts to sit down on his punches more he can definitely put some sting in them but the problem is if he does that, he'll just get clipped more and we all know what happens then. He either falls or runs like Andre Dirrell.

    Anyway this rumour was just started by someone on McCloskey's page above. Just a quick attempt to get inside Amir's head.

    Yea thats true and from some of the footage i've seen of Khan's training camp dont be shocked if this fight dont end by brutal body shot!

    Seems to be Khan's new shot ;)

    And I agree Khan may not have KO power but his power has improved alot over the last 3 fights! Any fighter thats looks at Khans performances pre-Prescott is making a big mistake!
