Would Khan be better advised staying at LWW next year?

As long as he can maintain that speed and conditioning whilst improving his game, he could do well at 147. My only concern is his leaky defence and how he'll react when the bigger punchers get to him. I mean, that bomb that Berto had Ortiz down for the second time, would have Khan struggling badly to get back to his feet.

 

Both Perterson and Cayo looked bigger and more muscular than Khan in their recent fight and Cayo is definately taller and they dont seem to have a problem making the 140lb limit. Khan appears quite skinny and fleshy in comparison so I doubt he has problems making 140.

 

He will have to move up sooner or later...those peds bulk you up like nothing else

 

140 is where its at when you take may and pac out of the equasion. theres a few lightweights moving up who he could face to really cement his legacy plus the fight with Berto. I think he genuinly believes he can beat Floyd next year so maybe he wants that payday before Floyd retires.

 

I have a feeling it's going to be Matthysse (if he beats Morales, which seems likely). REALLY dangerous fight for Khan if it's that.

 

wrong move imo, would like to see him have two more big fights at 140lbs first.

 

he's apparently out grown 140 already. Nobody left to fight anywho (except) the ducker Bradley who he would dominate.
