khan "i'll be world champ in 5 fights"

I think Warrens already had the talk about him facing Rees next year.

 

i cant really see rees holding onto the belt

 

He needs to take Barry McGuigan's advice and get himself over to the USA for some serious training with a proper world class coach. In the UK we only have three top trainers, Enzo Calzaghe,Brendan Ingle, and Billy Graham, and Khan isn't with them. Even if he were, it'd still be a good idea to go to America for top quality and varied sparring

 

khan could be a world champ in 1 fight if warren wants it. :yep

 

I bet he challenges for the WBA light welterweight world champion within 5 fights.

How long does Rees have before he has to defend his title. Mind you Rees can probably get away with facing a bum as his first defence.

Khan could improbably do this, and thus stay good to his word IF he beats Rees (a big IF). He would have his world title before he is 21, have a genuine strap, WBA, and then run like the wind from Hatton, Malignaggi etc...

 

WBF Interim Intercontinental Lightweight champion if the current holder decides to stay at Strwweight for the time being and let Khan pass by.

 

compared to limond i dont think rees is'nt much of a threat, the only thing rees may have against khan is his TKO % but that TKO % doesnt mean much when you have not stopped decent opponents in your professional career.

 

Rees just dominateds a world champion at lightwelterweight. he must be considered a favourite if he fought Khan at lightweight. he may not have 1 punch KO power, but either does Limond. At this stage i think id pick Rees over Khan.

I dont think this is the world title he is talking about though, the W.B.U is clearly the main target.

 

Exactly, no doubt Rees would KTFO Khan with the swarming and volume, hell, Limond almost did and Limond is less powerful.

 

if warren was confident he'd put khan-rees on for october 6th.

warren knows he ain't got it and is gonna do an awful long build up.

complete with a wbu title in tow. :roll:

 

I dont think the WBA would sanction another joke(Rees-Khan) to happen at 140. i think they have used up all there jokes for that title atleast for this year...

 

Is it really that impossible, look at the state of the champions:

David Diaz WBC - poor or shot super feather Morales

Juan Diaz - very good but not a brutal puncher by any means - slower and smaller than Khan and Khan would have a shot

Gav Rees 140lb WBA - very beatable

Tores 140lb WBO - very beatable

Malignaggi IBF 140 - good but wouldn't stand a shot of ko'ing khan who may be able to outwork or outmuscle the metrosexual

 

Don't be such a disrespectful dick. It takes a lot of athleticism to "compete" for the WWE belt.

 

I'd say Malignaggi hits harder than Willie Limond. He has a higher KO percentage against better opponents. Malignaggi certainly stands a shot at knocking Khan out.

 

In other words, he held an irrelevant pissy little nothing belt (ok, all the alphabet belts are worthless wastes of time) and then won a title worthy of recognition: the Lonsdale belt.
