    So there's a lot of talk that Khan's next fight, if not Peterson, could be Mosley at 147.

    I think it's a great fight seeing as how flawed Khan is and Mosley isn't the fighter he once was. I don't think Mosley is shot yet as many make him out to be. At the end of the day, he did get beat by the best two P4P fighters in the world and went the distance with them and Khan isn't even in their league.

    What do you think? Would be a terrific fight here in the UK @ MEN or some ****.

    At the end of the day he was lucky for a draw against Sergio Mora. Shane is quite badly shot. What would Khan gain from dominating him? Nothing, so it's not worth making the fight if you ask me.

    I'd rather he fight Brook than Mosley

  7. Nah, pointless fight.

    Plus, it's not exactly risk free for Khan, is it?

    I don't think Mosley will fight again anyway.

    I don't see what you lot are seeing, for some reason. Khan is seriously flawed. His defense is ****. Ok, the Mora fight, I can see what you're saying there, SportsL, but even then, the name on his record. I think it puts him back into good contention. With their styles as well, would it be a bad fight? I'm not sure.

    People should also consider, I did see Lamont Peterson as a tough tough fight for Khan and thought he could win. Just saying ;)

    Mosley doesn't deserve another payday after his feeble effort last time out. Sorry he embarrassed himself that night. He'd only be in there for $$$ and after a few rounds would let fight slide out to points win.

    I see what you are saying Laz, but I don't think Mosley is the fight Khan needs. He needs a name, a fighter who has enough guile to give Khan a bit of a work-out, but one Khan can impress against and gather some confidence. Mosley is not the guy though, IMO, he's just too far gone. Khan will just beat him to the punch with the jab and straight right all night long. Mosley can't deal with speed at his age. Khan needs someone who's a bit less detached from their prime, but still has name value.

    Yeah, and this is a fair point too. Mosley hasn't looked good in years and that's no exagerration, he put up a no-show against Pac and he hasn't earned a pay-day against Khan.

    Khan vs Clottey would be a better fight.
