Thank ****!!!! JMM should move down to 135, not 140. That's pretty much the limit of where he would be effective imo. Katsidis would be a good fight. Also the hype for Valero has got even bigger and I still think JMM will crush that hype should the fight be made.
This is a bit of a myth flying around here recently :yep Katsidis was certainly hurt by the punch :thumbsup Back on topic, I am glad that the fight is off - didn't like the match-up in the first place, but if its replaced by Malignaggi.........:dead
Anyone know where GBP want his next fight to be? Do they want to crack America or will they keep him in Britain?
You don't think Malignaggi is a good opponent? I know he's feather fisted and all and people will see it as good matchmaking, but he is a decent operator and easily a top 10 LWW.
Khan will now be fighting in the US for the time being. Although as I understand it he will only be in the USA whilst in training and fighting. He hasn't moved there like some of the media has reported.
He is a good fighter certainly, but TBH I don't see anyone (apart from possibly Bradley) who could beat Khan on points at light-welter IMO. So I feel that Malignaggi would not have much of a chance.
Kosaros, I really don't see how things like that can be said about Khan. Because he's fought no real opposition other than a Euro level Kotelnik. All we do know is that he has good speed with potential. Until he fights more at a high level we certainly can't say statements like that
Perhaps, but he'd be the best boxer Khan has faced yet. I don't think he should be written off as an opponent, regardless of whether he is likely to lose, especially on Khan's American debut. I'd be pretty content with Khan facing any top 10 light welter tbh.
Apart from Khan getting caught on the chin and going down, I dont see many fighters out pointing him. The guys handspeed is a blurr, Khan is yet to lose even a round under Roach. Khan is a great fencer, he uses his reach and speed to great effect.
And why not? Can I not say that fighters like Rigondeaux or Lara won't be world champions 'because they have not fought a world class opponent'? With Khan's super fast hands and stamina he is incredibly difficult to beat on points unless you knock him down a couple of times.
