    he'd have to be a **** heavyweight to be knocked around by a featherweight.

    The one thing I do wonder is if Khan will run out of ideas and become frustrated should gairy run and dodge his way through a few rounds.

    I agree with elle, size and natural power is a big factor, especially if Khan gets his jab working early doors.

    I think he's taller than 5ft 7, Ive met him on a few occassions and he aint 5 inches shorter than me (I dont think). I have a photo with him, Ali and Jamie somewhere, he's about same height as Moore who is down as 5 8 on boxrec - as you say though Boxrec is only good as a guide.

    So what if he has a height advantage. Thats part of his physical assets. This is the same sort of issue as people hating on DLH for being bigger. If they make the weight, they make the weight.

    St Clair has fought at 135 quite early in his career. Check his record. The guys weight fluctuates.

    Fact is, he is proven from 126 to 140. The man has survived class acts like Dorin, Harris, Baloyi etc He is a quality operator and compiled a nice record.

    People just want to pick holes in Khans opponents. Khans path to the top has been perfect...

    ...other than facing no punchers or Thaxton. Those two things are inevitable though!

    Be honest. Khans original opponent was bollocks but this one is good.

    Probably correct, there is no way he is 5'10 having stood next to him on occasion he looks 5'8-5'9 at a push.

    I never heard of that Mad Mick thing no... Gairys in shape and confident! I just hope its a good fight may the best man win... Gairy has fought blokes bigger smaller and same size as Khan in the ring and in sparring and dont worry about being stopped hes never even had a knock down scored against him i dont see why you boys are so confident Khan is guna run over someone so skilled and experienced.

    5'9 :deal he is no way that small against earl he was bending over to get to him and earl is 5'6...so 5'7 is wrong 5'8 is my hieght and he is biger than me but 5'10 just seems a bit much.

    5'9 i think is the best bet

    kinda, he stands behind the jab circles a bit throws a left hook or a right hand then makes a quick "charge" to keep you on your guard. technical and speedy but has a great right hand a good left hook.

    he has the package, but it's defence which is the problem. he has a great offence as we know of byt destorying sluggers and awkward boxers but he gets hit alot when on the attack similar to zab judah,terry norris or shane mosley all of them have a great arsenal but defence wise they can get hit.

    to be frank he's a stalker he uses his reach to keep you at bay while he backs you up and picks his shots.


    he's not as bad as people say he is but he is niether the next sugar ray clay jones jr


    oh and chin:hey
    there is a huge rumor...almost made true by limond that he sufers from the softer jaw. to be honest he got tagged by limond and limond just seemed to piledrive him to the floor. he was knocked down before but it was defintly a slip.

    anyways if any boxing fan dislikes a boxer it's usually the soft/glass/china/egg/wet paper jaw thing arises so it's maybe just blind hate

    Whoa there The Lads!

    Im not saying Gairy is a bad opponent, I just think Khan is going to win this one quite easily as St Clair is too small. I rate Khan highly, & believe he will catch St Clair on the outside, & stop him before the halfway stage.
    St Clair was a fine fighter in his day, but I think hes slightly past it now. Not shot, just a little past his best.

    So I see it being quite an easy nights work for Khan, as I rate the Bolton lad highly. Like Earl before him, I think Gairy is made for Khan. However, St Clir has a good defence, & if he can take Khan into the later rounds things could get interesting as I think Khan isnt comfortable yet in long fights. Thats where Gairys hope lies. Take Khan into the later rounds.

    Put it this way, if Khan wins early, you wont find me in here moaning. I will be congratulating Khan on a another fine performance.

    Def a good post... I see what your saying but i believe Gairy has been in there when people said way too small eg the Corrales fight but has always comes thru and i beleiev he will take Khan in to the late stages and deeper waters... Hope its a good one and hope someone does the RBR for me
