    :good.I admire Khan but he is not a 5 tool guy and never will be with a chin that fragile.The fact is he cannot keep avoiding hitters forever and GBP are just doing what Warren did in shielding him ,and the US public will soon cotton on that Khan has has avoided hitters since Thaxton onwards,and that the only time he fought one in peak condition resulted in humiliation in his own backyard....

    He has been very lucky to have championship fights against none hitters like Kotelnik & Salita.. and Malignaggi is just another one,but soon that luck is going to run out and there will be no hiding place.

    I know he not moving to the U.S i was on about fighting there. Yep I think Khan will put on a great show vs Paulie then these guys in the U.S will stand up and take note.

    I thought he moved to LA for good? I mean, I'm sure he'll go back to England every once and a while, but if he's training at Wild Card and fighting primarily in the US, he has to be considered a fighter residing in America, right?

    if he has 2 fights a year that's only 6 months of training, he'll probably split his time between the two countries.

    HBO should really push for this fight. They have many of the top 140 lbers.(with the notable exception of Bradely) fighting on their network. Their motto is "building legends one round at a time". They have a chance now to live up to that motto.

    GBP is guarenteeing him $1 mill per appearence. They aren't going to get the liscensing fees neccesary to cover that guarentee if they match him lightly.
