    Its good to see him taking some steps up.

    Dont think its good to taking on Katsidas and the like yet.
    I think Rocky will take on Diaz next and will probably loose on points, after which Diaz will be looking for more superfights and may move up in weight.

    Khan needs a couple of good, solid 12 round contests before he starts thinking about a title shot. I think he should take on Earl next up.

    I disagree...he used to be quite respectful and with his feet on the ground at the beginning. And when he was saying that he would beat guys, he was talking about complete unknowns, not about consacrated figures...big difference!

    To be the best in this sport, you have to be an alpha male. That means sometimes you can sound and act like an ass.

    Khan has a ton of talent, a lot more than most, but that is still no guarantee of success, his attitude has to be right as well, and it seems it is.

    Limond is a good fighter, but if you want to be competing in due course with the Diaz's, Diaz's, Diaz's ;) and Casamayor's of this world you need to be looking past a Limond.

    Good post! You have to look past a Limond...but do you have to sound off so much whilst looking past?:think

    I happen to agree with you Jeff my good man, as I have always said here.

    Like you, I believe Limond is a good fighter, I just happen to believe Khan is a special fighter. I have said this on ESB for ages, but I bet if Limond gets beaten there will be a queue of posters saying "I told you so Dunky" when in actual fact I never said Limond would beat Khan in the first place!

    I'm pretty torn for this fight I'm a Khan fan but I've always like Limond he's very quick andquite a sharp puncher. A Khan TKO3 victory would be pretty sensational but I think Khan is capable of something like that. The fighters who are going on to be superstars have a habit of mowing through championship opposition in double quick time (De La Hoya springs to mind).
