    You can level many things at Khan, but I think it’s unfair to say he’ll make excuses. He’s been pretty willing to take on solid opposition at 140. Kotelnik, Maidana, Judah are all decent names.

    no way Morales is getting stopped, he's ''Iron Chinned''. Only way he does is on cuts or bull**** stoppage

    Maidana couldn't stop DeMarcus Corley but he had Khan on ***** street and nearly out of there, so you can't use that excuse.

    I chose the wrong type of word's about Khan making excuses, i apologise. I do think though that wether Khan would like to take Matthysse on or not, his team and Promoter's will advise him against it

    Nobody is saying Khan is ducking Matthysse, but a few people in the general have also pointed out...

    If Morales beat's Matthysse, Morales will be fighting Khan next, but...

    If Matthysse beats Morales, they can't see Khan fighting him and taking somebody else on.

    Maybe Khan suprises everybody and takes Matthysse on? We'll find out in the coming months

    Dude!:yep

    I think GBP will make the fight if the demand is for it.
    But I also think they have promised Guerrero a shot if he beats Maidana though. Who knows.
    I'm just glad the division is hotting up again

    Haha i know using the General aint the best way to back thing's up, but there's the odd few in there who aint brain dead.

    Guerrero is a tough fight for Khan i think, fair enough Guerrero is moving up, but there's something about him i like.

    Then if that's the case, hopefully Maidana v Mattyhsse is on the card's

    Khan will fight Matthysse, simply for the big green belt, u know he's hungry for those belts, i saw him looking enviously at Judah carrying all his, he wants titles

    Credit to Morales he sure has got some balls. Mattysse has to start a strong favourite, he has good power and underated skills.

    It's just a case of how many more times can Morales go to the well before its empty. I worry as I did before the Maidana fight that because he has a great chin, he may take more shots than he needs to.

    But this is far from a foregone conclusion, I want to see how Mattysse reacts to someone meeting him head on and possibley back him up. Against Zab and Devon they were happy to fight him off the back foot. Mattysse is not the fastest so I can see Morales standing with him and rolling with the punches and firing back like the Maidana fight. I just feel Mattysse has better boxing ability than Maidana and this will see him take a decision.
