    Khan's reach and speed should keep Mitchell off him but Kevin showed he can take a punch on the way in against Johanesson who can bang a bit.

    Mitchell was timing his shots well though and if he caught Khan he might have enough power to check that chin of his.

    I'd have to say Khan by stoppage due the physical discrepancy though.

    i think with mitchells tendancy to not cover up and the number of shots khan can throw in 10 seconds, could lead to the ref stepping in.

    don't think khan would ko or even kd mitchell though.

    Definately a fight for the future. I think Mitchell is going to make the better pro to be honest.

    Khan would K0 mitch....

    I think most people are just basing him off his last fight, which was mostly played defensively by khan. Some of you forget that he's got good power, and excellent speed and if he unloaded then Mitch wouldn't last at all.

    Khan would most likely take Mitchell apart.

    Mitchell would make it very difficult, he's a top domestic fighter. Mitchell has alot of skill, guts, power, speed etc etc but Khan is just that bit better and more experience against better opposition (never thought I would say that about Khan) and Khan is bigger.

    Good fight but Khan by stoppage by mid to late rounds.

    Rooq and Faisal you two are big Khan fans I know and thats cool but I'm not buying his percieved world class ability just yet... I don't really like posting about him because it upsets people but at the moment I feel he has no inside game, he smothers his work and he leaves his chin up in the air. He has frightening speed and a fair dig but I feel there must be a reason why they don't want him to fight Thaxton or Romanov. His chin has serious question marks, and I don't feel he's improved a gr8 deal since turning pro. I'm not a Khan hater, I've met him and want him to do well I just feel he is been too heaviliy hyped and not meeting the right opposition just yet.

    The fight with St Clair was a glorified spar and next we have this unknown Russian.. At the mo i'm disaapointed. You can **** all over my opinion if you like but its not going to change a thing.... Mitchell for me took the step up and beat a guy who is international class and came to win. Khan had a similer fight with a lesser fighter in Limmond and nearly came unstuck.

    I'm behind Khan 100% and the last thing I want to do is come on here one day and say I told you so but he is not been matched competitively and that will lead to his undoing as it nearly did mitchell on saturday.

    Khan would more likely win as he's faster and obviously bigger, but if Mitchell hit Khan flush then who know's. Mitchell would be one of the hardest punchers if not the hardest pucher Khan has faced.

    nooooooooo!

    do i come across as a khan fan? :|

    all i was implying was that i can see khan delivering several unanswered shots in the space of a few seconds causing the ref to intervene and award a premature stoppage!

    as i said, i don't think khan could knock mitchell out or even knock him down. nor do i think he is in any way shape or form world class.

    a khan fan...i'm not going to be able to sleep now. he thinks i'm a khan fan....:(

    having met both, i can safely say this will never happen, khan is massive, kev is not. the weights will omly grow further apart.

    He's an unknown Dane!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Get your facts rights. The rest of your post is spot on but I still think Khan edges it, mainly due to the size advantages (Khan has huge ears).

    Oliver has done a fantastic job with the rest of his stable... Moore in particular is so canny and such a gr8 in fighter. Khan seems very set in his ways he's a fast handed, fast footed mover. Olivers done little wrong so far and certainly knows his stuff... Your thoughts?

    Poor Rooq! To be honest I think you are one of the more objective posters when it comes to Khan. I often share some of the views you express which saves me from having to post them myself! :good
