Juan Diaz vs Amir Khan

I think Diaz would bring WAY to much heat for Khan right now.

Even JMM had to fight his way through a blizzard of punches for a few rounds last night.

Diaz is not a huge puncher but you don't need to be to trouble Amir, we've seen that.

 

Diaz ko 3 - JMM was rocked early with punches that would ko khan

 

Diaz KO2

 

Khan has fast hands, quick counters, but his chin is the let down. I like to see him khan stay with roach for a while, then we will get to see the best of khan.

Im very excited for the barrera fight!

 

Not ready for the likes of Diaz at the moment

 

Diaz would leave him in a crumpled heap inside a few rounds.

 

diaz would come out fast and smother amirs skills. diaz isnt a big puncher but Khans chin is glass so eventually diaz would KO him in the 1st 3 rounds

 

who knows how much juan has left after last night it was a hurtful KO, if hes still game he'll win in 2 those left hooks of his are all wrong for khan

 

Right we have to see how Khan does vs Barrera, then we can say when and how.

Diaz is a up close pressure fighter with great workrate, but lucks a good jab and throws too many hooks, he likes to get fighters on to the ropes then unload on them. Also he lacks real K.O power. Khan would have to keep away from the ropes and try keeping Diaz at range with is long range jab and use his hight ad and speed.

Khan I dont think is ready for Diaz yet, he still only 22, Degale is even older than Khan.


But for a 22 old guy fight someone like Marco A Barrera is a feat for now anyway.

 

Khan has been out of the lime light as of late, good stuff and about time, just concentrate on boxing!

 

im a fan of khan and think he needs a few more years yet, but last night put it into perspective for me that khan is miles behind both jmm and diaz!!

 

At present Khan isn't in the same stratosphere. Diaz is an elite fighter who mixes it with the best fight after fight. Khan has barely mixed it with the best of Britain, gone life and death and was ko'd by the first fighter he fought with a decent ko record. Let's see how much Khan has improved v MAB. If he beats MAB then Diaz is a real possibility.

 

It would be man against boy.

 

brutal ko, however the barrera fight will tell us much more on where khan actually is
