    I was reading a post on 606 and they have dismissed any of these guys having a chance against Khan, even going as far as calling them 'bums'. Only one or two people seem to actually remember khan was knocked out two fights ago.

    So what are the chances you would give to either fighter against Khan?

    Murray has a chance. What chances I'm not sure until I see a bit more beyond Meager, but stylistically I see something in it for him.

    Regardless of the victor of Murray/McAllister I'd say Murray has the better chance. Harder puncher, and a better style to upset Khan. McAllister can't outslick and outbox Khan.

    I think Murray has a greater chance than McAllister. If Murray can get on the inside he will bumrape Khan. Easier said than done, if Roach teaches Khan how to control a fight with his jab though but still possible.

    McAllister/Murray is an important fight, and not just for the British title. Let's see if Murray has what it takes to beat Khan. It should give some really good indications.

    Let's see if he jabs his way in, a good sharp jab. Let's see if he shows some good footwork to close the distance, or some lateral movement. Some head movement to avoid shots coming his way. If he does that convincingly, we can say he has a reasonable chance of catching up with Khan and softening him up.

    What he can't do is go the ***an route, marching forward like that. Khan's speed cuts you to shreds if you try that. You can't go in thinking about one shot on his chin.

    Murray most likely has the better chance - I don't believe McAllister is good enough full stop.

    If Khan can keep Murray away with the jab he wins hands down IMO, barring a lucky punch or lapse in concentration. Otherwise, if Murray gets inside, where Khan is both clueless (to date) and uncomfortable - I would give him the edge.

    Reasonable, even at this stage. Barrera is no fool. He has all the experience in the world, and he's durable.

    He only lost to Pacquiao just over a year ago by decision. He played it safe, but its not terrible form that would suggest its a laughable fight for Khan.
