    for sure we're going to see Khan do the chicken dance popularized by Zab Judah.

    It wouldnt take a prime Tszyu to KO that chinless phony. Even the Tszyu that lost to Hatton would KO Con.

    Yeah your 100% right. Tszyu was never as good as Brendis Prescott.

    So Tszyu isn't an ATG...so what? He'd still starch Khan in relatively easy fashion. Nothing against Khan here. He has nothing in his arsenal to push Tszyu to the limit. Try jumping in at Tszyu with amateurish, generic combinations...you're going to get blasted.

    Khan is a decent fighter who has yet to be tested, so I can't judge him yet, but he does show potential and huge improvement since his upset loss to Prescott so he gets points for that. But with all due respect Tszyu on his worst night, when he fell to Phillips, would still beat the today's version of Khan because I don't see Khan beating Phillips either. Tszyu wasnt the fastest, strongest, or flashiest fighter around, but he was one of the smartest and coolest to ever lace them up. He had perfect timing and adapted to any situation even if he was behind on points.

    Besides the tricky power he had when he would knockdown his opponents when they thought they would be out of range, aside from his underrated power, he would beat Khan on skills alone. Hatton in his prime was a whirlwind, but he's lucky he didn't fight when Tszyu was in his prime because I am certain Tszyu's right hand would of found it's mark on the Hitman and it would of been a KO win for Tszyu. Khan hasn't beaten a name 140lber yet to even be compared to Tszyu or Hatton. At this point a prime Hatton should be favored against him. Beating Paulie will be a step up for Khan, but there is also Bailey, Campbell, Rios, before he faces someone proven like Bradley, Urango, and Alexander.

    Tszyu in about round 1 or 2.

    I actually know someone who thinks the Khan that beat Kotelnik would beat the Tszyu that beat Rodriguez. ****ing moron he is.
