Khan vs Diaz

I see it much like last nights fight, although I think Diaz, who is a relatively small puncher, could stop Khan - although this is the situation against almost every top level fighter for Khan now.

 

Diaz lacks power but his tenacity can break you down and/or make you quit. Not sure if Khan has the stamina for him. Khan has good stamina but he gets tired and sloppy as he is still too speed orientated thus using up alot of energy.

 

Khan destroys Diaz in every round before halting himin the 11th.

 

Lol... Get with it. Diaz is Khans perfect foil he'd win by KO prob inside 6 rounds.

 

would be a good fight....... for khan, if held in the states (outside houston!) khan wins on points if held at home late stoppage by a sympatetic ref either way khan wins

 

Khan can win this contest..... handspeed and footwork.. in and out. Do what he did against Kotelnik, was not the best to watch, but in a few cases you have got to win ugly...:yep

 

You guys are massively under selling Diaz, he was one punch away from stopping Marquez.

 

At lightweight. And he wouldn't have stopped Marquez, he could of put him down, and he would of just gotten up and continued on. Sort of a Gatti thing I suppose.

At JWW, I'd go for Khan but depending where the fight was held, **** I don't know. Judges are absolutely pathetic these days.

I laughed so hard at Diaz saying he wanted a rematch against Marquez, he'd get ****ing marmalised.

 

I love that word.

 

Diaz at 140 is all wrong, Diaz is a 135 fighter, really he should be fighting at 130. Did you see Diaz's body at weigh in? man needs to take it easy on the old Mexican food.

Also Khan looks perfect at 140.

 

I honestly think if you gave him a few years and more experience under his belt, he could potentially fare at 147, at least better than Hatton did anyway. He's bigger, faster and has got more reach than Hatton, only thing is that he's not as ferocious and as pressurising to keep guys off him at that weight. Hatton could do that but only for a limited time until he was getting backed off by tougher guys like Collazo.

 

Yeah Khan can make 147 without any problems soon aswell, body wise no problems 5'10 big frame. Lets see how his chin holds up with better punchers at 140 first, there are signs from the Kotelnik fight that he is taking shots a bit better now.

Khan's next outing at 140 should be even better, because right now he will allow his weight to hover around 150 and is growing in to the weight, and will make 140 better when he fights next.

 

Hatton wasn't being backed off by Collazo.

That was part of the problem. Even when being slammed flush on the end of his chin he kept charging forward (stupidly).

Khan has the frame for 147 but until he proves he can deal with even a prime mediocre puncher/pressure fighter/brawler (rather than a 'modern legend') I have my doubts as to whether he can succeed at the top level.

 

Marquez was whooping him, the commentators go over board thinking someone bringing pressure is giving a tough fight.
