    Malignaggi won't trouble Khan with his power so seem's like a great way for Khan to win a Title. Also avoid's having to fight the vast amount of talent at lightweight where i see Khan struggling to win a title.
    Khan should move up to 140 imo he look's like a big Lightweight anyway.

    Easiest way Khan could win a title. Everything Paulie does, Amir does better.

    Paulie has a better chin, but not enough power to damage Amir.

    He hits like Thomas Hearns in comparison to Willie Limond who almost stopped Khan.

    Does he heck. Paulie doesn't punch like Hearns in comparison to anyone. His only chance of a KD is to catch him off balance. No chance of a KO.

    How could anybody pick Amir Khan over Malignaggi. Say what you like about Paulie, but he took shots from Miguel Cotto for 12 rounds. He won't be troubled by Khan's power in the slightest, whereas Khan is being dropped by domestic level operators.

    Realistically, Paulie outboxes and probably even tko's Amir late.

    Nothing? Limond has more stoppages. Anyway Khan was hardly out on his feet and hes just been in with a much bigger puncher than Paulie

    But Paulie's been in with world class punchers, Amir Khan is still fighting at domestic level. He isn't even making steps. Michael Gomez would shot to peices before he went into the ring, and he's shot to peices when he left it. Amir Khan says he'll be fighting for a world title this year, and I say, if this is true, he'll be getting stopped in that fight. I'm not sure if any amount of training can improve Khan's chin. The best he can do is improve his defence dramatically by moving camp, and see if he can take flush shots from any lightweights rated in the top 10. Personally, I see him getting knocked out.

    Limond was a midget who was a weight class below khan, he actually DID have khan ou on his feet.
