Fury-Wilder needs to happen. London, Vegas, New York, an arena in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, anywhere. Enough waiting. Let's get it on in the summer time of this year.

I didn't have a problem with him winning. I had it 113-113 a draw, but the scorecards were fine....a close fight for Khan, that's fine, but he doesn't deserve a payday in December versus Peterson/Matthysse/Garcia. Absolutely not. This was supposed to be a showcase tune up fight and he had to hold on and survive versus Diaz. Diaz was a quality fighter, but he's past it. Just last year Kendall Holt knocked him out. Khan should have dominated, overwhelmed Diaz and possibly stop him late. He didn't do that he got dropped and was a lucky boy to win that fight. He doesn't deserve a fight with the top dogs. He needs to get back in line and work back up to the top. Fight Devon Alexander, rematch Marcos Maidana, etc. He needs to make his way back up to the top. He's a bit down the totem pole now. Beat Alexander, beat Maidana again, and then see how things shake out.
Completely agree with you there DD. Worst thing is, it looked like the WBC was setting him up for a showdown with Floyd, placing him at #2 without ever having fought at the weight. Now he did, and needed to go into full fletched survival mode to make it past a hasbeen.
Yeah, unfortunately. Just chalk it up as one of the many, many fights of "what would have happened..."
