    Khan v. Sugar Ray Leonard and Duran fantasy fights swamping the ESB boxing forum.

    If he gets his head wrapped around fighting to his strengths , he should do OK for himself. He needs to get it through his head that he's a much better pure boxer than he is a banger and use his handspeed and straight punching technique to keep opponents at bay.

    But I don't see this happening and I see him getting some wins over featherfisted, carefully handpicked opponents. Then his ego gets the best of him again and he gets raped by someone with some pop in their punches. I see him retiring around 30 or so.

    I don't see this. Khan may have no chin, but he does have heart. Judah has shown he lacks the latter more than once in my opinion.

    Theres no trolling round ere boy, I put money on it that Khan looses his next fight, by KO. Presuming I am right then I'm pretty sure he wont fight on, but if you like his chances vs Berto Ortiz or Alexander then go ahead call me a troll, but we will see.

    Probably like Judah: He'll pick up a belt at some point but is never close to being the man again. Big punchers will get to his chin. Plus, unlike someone like Wlad who also has a weak chin, Khan doesn't have the discipline or a big, heavy jab to keep opponents at bay

    I doubt Khan is in it for the long haul if he starts racking up numerous losses. He certainly doesn't need the money.
