    Funeka is the worst fight out there for khan (even worse than JMM).

    Yep I'm kosaros on this, Funeka is a nightmare fight for Khan. Haven't see Pituala so I can't comment.

    Khan has a shot against Julio Diaz and Katsidis. However, that is still dependent on him not getting a good bang on the whiskers (or up around the side of the head even) by the time he takes either man out.

    The rest of the lads on the list splatter the **** out of Khan. It doesn't matter, though, because there is about as much chance of me fighting one of these lads next as there is Khan. Sky and the press can hype the **** out of him all they like (and they will) and Warren will cash in with a few more PPV's against sub par opposition. Fact is when Khan moves up in class he will get smashed.
    He hasn't even fought a decent Lightweight yet. There is no decent LW on his record anywhere. So hype it all you want he has done **** all so far.

    His only hope is that he moves up in weight and by some miracle his punch resistance improves. If that doesn't happen then he gets taken out by anyone good enough to land a clean shot.

    Anyway, you won't see him in with anyone anywhere near the top 10 in the division anytime soon

    Why do you think Cassamayor is shot, Jeff?

    If you ready what I wrote you would see I am not saying that. I'm saying Khans quick fire style is an effective one but he is frail. If he was tough he could beat some of those names.

    Pac's KO losses were because he was drained and/or body shots.

    Casamayor is well well past his best. The fact he struggled with Katsidis shows it. At his prime a slick, crafty southpaw like Casamayor would have made easy work of such a crude fighter. However he was hurt and had a lot of bad moments before rallying to win the fight. Also, prior to this he really got lucky against Santa Cruz.

    I've got a feeling he'd still beat Khan though. Khan has never seen a good southpaw in the ring, only sparring. And Casamayor is quite a slick cagey southpaw so that is something tough to adjust to. I think he'd catch Khan with a counter because of this. I'm not sure Khan would position his feet correctly.

    As for people thinking he beats Nate Campbell...lay off the crack! Campbell would walk him down until he catches up with him. He is an old school fighter on the inside, he'd take it to Khan where he hates it. I see Campbell stopping him mid to late after Khan starts well.

    He'd have a good chance with David Diaz who's very easy to hit but wouldn't go anywhere when hit for a while.

    Katsidis would be beatable for Khan too - not been that impressed with him to be honest.

    Most of the others, including Casamayor would 'brutally' KO him.

    Well i think if Frank is talking about a world title by the end of the year for AK he got to fight 1 of these top 10 next, i am sure Roach will let him fight a bum after beating MAB.
