    What I'm saying is there's much more live dogs Amir could fight at 140. MOrales is over the hill, should be retired, and well above his weight class.

    Well, he started with Roach younger and was a bit better fundamentally to begin with. Maybe he just learns a bit quicker as well.

    At 140? Who should he fight? Bradley has moved up, Devon has been shown up. He's beaten Kotelnik, Paulie M, Maidana etc. Mattysse is coming off a loss (which he probably won but it's still a loss). The only opponent I can see for him is Roberto Guerrero, but he needs to get past Maidana first.

    Other than him, the division is pretty thin now

    The winner of Guerrero-Maidana would be cool, plus Rios will move up to fight him, but that's about it really. It would be nice if he could get hold of Bradley's titles, but he should probably move up soon, maybe after one more JWW fight. His body looks too big for the weight really.

    Roach appears to be molding himself to be a promoter?..

    Roach talks such bull****. Khan is world class and has great tools, but he's far from unbeatable

    Definately far from being unbeatable. Khan has a fantastic arsenal, but his defence is just too flawed.

    Comparing a 24 year old Khan to a 24 year old Pac, you can easily see Khan progressed quicker, but he might hit a plateau @ 26.

    I like the way Khan fights, but he got hit far too often against Maidana, who is very limited in skill and especially speed. Unless Khan develops his defence a whole lot more, he wont be reaching number 1.

    Well, we'll see come 23rd July. Judah will be dangerous over the first 5-6 rounds and will put Khan away if he's sloppy. Amir hasn't to date shown very high ring IQ & unfortunately, for all of Freddie's tutelage, this is one of those intangibles, you've either got it or you haven't.

    Pac was a better fighter in 2001 than Khan will ever be. So there wasn't as much progress required.

    Feed that ego, Roach. ****er is completely beatable, much more beatable than Pacquiao. Doesn't sit down on his punches, china ****ing chin, runs around like a headless chicken when he's tagged, moves forward awkwardly when he jabs, taunts, gasses, there's a lot wrong with Khan. He's not the finished product.

    Unbeatable???Lets see how he holds up against Judah, **** maidana had him dead on his feet and that was not that long ago.
