Khan talking about fighting Morales

oh dear.

 

I think that Khan is looking to get some names on his record now... Having MAB and Morales will help generate his own box office.

Been based in LA will make it much easier to get things happening...:yep

 

He wont fight Morales. I think this is probably a name that Warren has threw in there or summat and Khan's just saying it because he's a name. Juan Diaz is the one they'll most likely go for

 

The names he mentioned on Skysports today were Diaz Marquez and Mayweather.

 

I have a feeling khan might fight the winner of paulie-diaz 2 next...to make his debut in america....khan,roach, and warren would love to fight a guy like diaz....who will come straight forward, not a lot of speed, and is a light puncher.....easy money for khan, and he would look spectacular against juan diaz....

Paulie stylistically would present problems for khan....according to dibella, paulie's promoter....khan was offered a fight with paulie, and warren passed....that should tell you something..

 

Malignaggi presents no stylistic problem for Khan. Khan's a better boxer than him at range, negates Malignaggi's speed with his own and is not going to be in fear of Malignaggi's 'power'.

 

Maybe he should rematch Barrera aswell.

Anyway Erik ain't coming back so it won't happen.

 

hopefully Morales doesn't fight again and lives the rest of his life comfortably and not needing any more fight purses.

 

nope it doesnt, Khan was a lightweight until he got a world title and then had a mandatory straight after. calling a guy out when hes got a world title fight or a mandatory lined up is pretty worthless especially when you arent big box office.

 

A sensible post :happy:happy

 

Paulie is a very very bad matchup for Khan. He is faster and more experienced. Can easily outbox 4 1-2s against the gloves and run style of Khan.

 

Would he bollocks. What punches do you think Malignaggi throws? He throws 80% of the time a left jab because his right hand is ****ed. And then the rest of the time he'll throw a right hand. He's no hook/uppercut artist nor is his bodywork the stuff of legends.

Khan would beat him because he's taller, longer, faster, Malignaggi has no ****in power to worry Khan, and Malignaggi is EASY to hit for a so called 'slick' fighter or a good boxer. Khan would force Malignaggi to come to him due to his speed and he'd take advantage and outbox Malignaggi all night.

 

So does Khan if you havn't noticed. It is 2 1-2's and run and same again. How many bodyshots were thrown in his kotlenik fight. How many times has he 'stopped' an opponent from a bodyshot? He never throws hooks or uppercuts either. (check gomez fight) Paulie has a great reach and khans reach is normal. A height difference of half an inch will not matter. Paulie will dance on khan all night long. Khan would have to go to Paulie as he outjabs Khan all day long. If Diaz couldn't get past that jab what makes you think a very limited defensively fighter like Khan could. His left is still carried way to low and seemingly never been taught lateral movement.

Paulie wide UD. Khan won't land ****.

 

Exactly my point. Khan has little variation but neither does Malignaggi, and not only that but Malignaggi is hampered by bad injuries to his hands whereas Khan at least has 2 working hands. In a battle of 1-2's the better mover is going to win, the faster guy has an advantage, the taller guy with the reach has an advantage and all of those factors are in favour of Khan. And no Malignaggi does not have a good reach, its pretty average I'd wager Khan has longer arms and certainly uses that to its full extent.

Khan wouldn't have to get anywhere past Malignaggi's jab. It would be the other way round due to the handspeed, the amount of jabs Khan throws and movement of Khan. It's Malignaggi that would have to make the running and come forward, which he can't do because he has zero power and zero offensive capability coming forward.

Malignaggi has an awful defence. Hatton hit him all night, Ngoudjo was close to knocking him out with a right hand and was screwed, N'dou hit him all night, Cotto beat him to a pulp. Everybody has hit him all night long.
