    Khan said he can beat Maidana, outbox Malignaggi, and KO Campbell, but he won't be ready for Tim Bradley until late 2010. He believes Tim Bradley is the #1 guy in the division and the toughest challenge for him.

    From an interview by Rumsfeld and Jenna just recently

    Khan is keeping it real

    Khan/Bradely could be our mega fight for 2011

    I think Maidana would KO him. He would beat the other two.

    thats because bradley is the truth at 140 :deal

    But for real... good to hear his true thoughts.

    140 is really interesting right now... probably my favorite division.

    When your chin is as shaky as Khan's you can't afford to be hit clean even once by Maidana or it's lights out. Sure Khan could stick and move all night and maybe win a decision, but I don't think he would.

    Khan definitely thinks he has something to prove now that he was KTFO so he would eventually trade and eventually be KO'd, again.

    This division is crying out for a super six type tourney, only two groups of four:

    Group 1
    Bradley
    Alexander
    Malignaggi
    Diaz

    Group 2
    Khan
    Urango
    Prescott
    Maidana


    Lot of good matchups, scores to be settled and unifications before moving into semi-finals. Group A has the best US fighter settled, plus the Malignaggi-Diaz rubber match.

    Group 2 has chance for Khan redemption, plus a series of South American bouts.

    Plus, start both groups with unifications to keep the belts together.

    id take out diaz and put in holt... and find a way to put ortiz in there.

    actually... lol... leave diaz i guess (hes not a 140lber though)

    and put Ortiz in group 1

    and Holt in group 2.

    then it would be complete

    I have a feeling if khan fights maidana.....bradley will fight malignaggi next.....considering Bradley is the WBO world champ....and Paulie is the NABO-WBO champ.....If Khan vacates and ducks maidana, then he will fight Paulie...

    Khan has made a fan of me in his honesty and his hardwork coming back from the KO by Prescott

    Good to be honest, Bradley is definitely too much right now. He needs AT LEAST two fights with the guys mentioned in the video before going to Bradley and that depends how he looks against them IF he wins.

    "yeeeeaaaah now..." at the beginning of every question. It's like listening to the sound of raindrops seeping into your coffin. The guy interviewer was better. Still, I can't argue, at least we get to hear his thoughts.
