Khan vs Linares

Would love to see it.

I see Khan winning due to being the bigger man. Linares will pose problems though, but he doest quite have the power needed to back up Khan the way Maidana, and Peterson did.

 

Linares is like a smaller version of Khan. Khan has quicker feet tho he'd make Linares miss and Linares wouldnt have an answer for Khans size and speed. Khan by tko.

 

Linares is slightly faster(YES I THINK SO!!) and far better combination puncher than Khan. But.. Linares is chinny and Khan would be too strong. This could be a same kind of story like it was with DeMarco. Linares starts fast but Khan stops him in late rounds and at this point Khan is already ahead in scorecards.. Linares has no power to get Khan's respect... But I love Linares, most of the fight he was absolutely brillant against DeMarco..

 

I think Linares has more all round ability than Khan but if they were to fight right now i see Khan taking a decision or very early KO. In a couple of years it may be a different story as i dont think Khan will get much better than he is now whereas Linares could become very special with the right guidance.

 

The problem with Linares is that he over-commits with his movement. He always tires and slows down after the middle rounds and his opponents start catching up to him. You can see this in the Demarco and Juarez fights. He def has an incredible skill set and one of the most fluent styles. Khan is a pretty big Jr WW and will probably fill in very well as a WW. Interesting fight but I just dont see it happening. Demarco Rematch is where is at.
