    Stick a fork in Khan (please). He's done. And has been so for years.

    Amir has been out of the ring for 2 yrs, is smaller than Ali at 154, and can't take the heat.

    Ali can punch. Had Cotto hurt numerous times. Miguel never made the move to run him over.

    I see no way that amir wins this one. Sadam should drag Vargas up to 154, avenge that loss, and then take on Brook v. Khan winner should that fight ever happen.

    Then how did he last (and win) a few rounds versus a much larger and supposedly prime and dangerous (enough so that Mayweather is "ducking a rematch", according to some) Canelo?

    I'm not sure Ali belongs at 154 himself. A very badly shot Cotto with a retirement party awaiting him still came very close to switching his lights off.

    ehm he got brutally knocked out. he was always going to nick a few rounds against the Ginger one who is very flat footed but Khan was always going to make mistakes which would be exploited - same if he fought championship level opposition at WW or LMW. He's never had good ring IQ or decent defence. it was a very obvious and frankly dangerous outcome. Lucky he wasn't brain damaged.

    Khan should stick to C level reality shows.

    i agree but he's surely not going down to 147 to fight Thurman, Spence or crawford. They'll eat him alive.

    OR he can stay at 154 and eat Brook and khan alive.

    What? Brook vs. Ali or Khan (as they're so stylistically similar) only has one possible outcome, IMO. Fresh hot chocolate brownies.
