    A lot is being made of Khan's move to Hunter and I while I don't doubt it will have a positive effect, for a brief moment, it is really hard to reconstruct a fighter of Khan's limited ability and obvious flaws, then you have to take into account Khans capacity to learn and put it into practice?

    He's not the brightest spark is our Amir.

    How do you know how I read things and interpret them?

    I know JMM had reasons behind his decision, I use terms to work people like you up.

    Khan is not an elite fighter. He is no match for guys like Rios and Matthysse, never mind Marquez.

    No, that's not true, Ero. Marquez felt that GBP were just trying to feed him to their new star and wanted no part of it.

    That too, but I thought it was Nacho who felt that about GBP rather than Marquez? Either way, Marquez was not looking too hot at the higher weights at the time, and had it been this version of Marquez, I think they would've taken the fight. Khan was golden boy's new golden boy, but I think if the Marquez camp were confident they could KO Khan they would've signed on the dotted line.

    Yes, Nacho came out and said he felt JMM was being used as a stepping stone for Khan and advised him to pass on the fight.

    Brandon and Matthysse are not 'elite' fighters, and Khan, no matter what you may think of his chin, would give them a go.

    This is where I will give Amir his fair due, he will fight them, his heart cannot be brought into question, but it's also his downfall in a sense, he is braver than his ability allows.

    You're right mate. Khan is either too brave or too foolish for his own good, it's a fine line between the two. He would believe he could beat either of those two when in reality he'd be knocked out even worse than he was by Garcia.

    Expect him to roll past Molina and then call out either Garcia, Matthyse or Rios. All 3 knock him out. Golden Boy will likely keep putting him in with donkeys to protect him.

    Khan is a fighter by heart he would never keep fighting bums he could of stayed with ****** in UK if that was the case.

    If he goes out to these guys so be it, that's how real fighters go out, its all or nothing.
