    I reckon Khan will stop him. I know he has been in with some good guys but he's so small once Khan starts getting the leverage on him it'll be all over.

    Khan will look really good here but lest we forget this a small super feather against a huge lightweight !

    Hes fought legit world champs and has taken them all the distance. Hes also fought at light weight a few times.

    His 17 KOs at super feather are much better than the Danes 5 KOs at light weight.

    Agreed. Corrales was over 6ft and going into the fight with St Clair his record was 25-0 with 22 wins by stoppage.

    I think Khan could stop him based on the sheer speed and amount he will land, but it will be an impressive result if he stops a guy that went the distance with Corrales and Harris.

    Yeh and Harris is what 5,9ft.

    Look at what happened when MBaye faces Rees. Sometimes being smaller can make it tricky for the big guy!

    How long ago did this St Clair guy fight (and lose) to Harris and Corrales?

    Yes it was a good while. 9 years against Corrales and 8 against Harris. But he is only 32 and whilst it is not a test and not a great opponent it is preferable to the Dane.

    Who are you talking to? Not a single person has said Mitchell has faced anyone of note and virtually everyone has said Murray looked like **** in his last fight and that Khan would beat him.

    considering the short notice i think this is a very good opponent. yes there'll be a huge height difference and he's a natural superfeatherweight but on paper he looks to be a better opponent than the Dane. at least st clair has been in with world class opposition and has never been stopped, and he will bring a lot of experience to the ring.

    not sure if he's ranked by the WBO though...although warren still has a few weeks to work his magic...
