    Who wins?
    Let's say Mike beats Randall Bailey for the IBF and Khan beats Peterson and Khan moves up to fight him next year for Mike's belt.

    Who you got?

    Mike "Machine Gun" Jones

    Jones and he might even stop him. Khan is hard to outbox though.

    Mike Jones only wants Kahn if he is top of the line......

    Kahn must also have a cute face, slim waist, and a big behind.

    Did Jones do much as an amatuer? Did he take up boxing late?

    Very interesting fight!

    Amir struggles when he does not have the size advantage, he would find it hard to jump in with the flurries if Jones jabs a lot.

    Jones will probably try to flurry back when Khan does get through which is bad for him cos Khan is quicker.

    They both need to sit on their punches.

    Mike is known to punch a lot early and fade that combined with Amir's body punching could be lethal, BBall does Mike go to the body much, i don't recall him doing it much in his last fight?

    I will reserve my judgement until I see how they both perform in their next fights!

    I think Khan would serve him, probably by about 4-6 rounds. But, if I was pressed to make two different predictions on the outcome they would be: Khan UD12 Jones, or Jones T/KO mid rounds.

    Jones is a very good mover for his size, and is fast for his size, but even still Khan is much quicker of foot and hand, and has faster reflexes. I do agree that Khan could struggle when he doesn't have a length advantage over a fighter, but I don't think it would be that big of an issue because he is substantially faster than Jones.

    Jones is a frustrating type of prospect to watch. Physically, he has the ability to be a big puncher. A guy like Paulie will never have power, regardless of how committed he is to his punches, whereas if Jones really wanted to, and began sitting on his punches and committing to them more, he could be a banger. He has a wide array of fantastic physical tools, but doesn't have the mindset to go with them. In a way, he and Chad Dawson strike me as the polar opposites of Carl Froch. Froch is where he is because of his intangibles, he has all the intangibles one could ever want, and he understands how to fight, on the other hand he severely lacks the tangibles. Dawson and Jones seem the exact opposite, and they just don't seem like they are things that can change over night - they are who they are and fight how they fight.

    LMAO @ everybody picking Khan.

    Jones would stop Khan, after beating his ass every round.

    Con artist relies heavily on his height and reach to win fights. Against Jones he'd have no advantage.

    Jones is alot more TECHNICALLY SOUND than Con artist. He would **** his body, and stop him.

    BTW - Jones has one hell of a fight/war coming up with Bailey. Bailey may not be the best boxer to ever enter the ring, but few have ever possessed the raw power he brings to the ring. IMHO he is a top 5 p4p puncher in all of boxing. Jones isn't the slickest fighter out there, and he can be hit. This fight is definitely a dangerous one for Jones I feel and it will tell us how he handles a world-class puncher. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bailey lands something flush and Jones gets stretched.

    That said, it's one of my most anticipated upcoming fights. Props to Jones for taking this high risk/low reward fight.


    But also, how well Jones does in this fight won't really tell us much about how well Jones could deal with Khan.
