Check it out, ranking: http://www.boxrec.com/ratings.php?country=&sex=m&division=Lightweight&status=A&SUBMIT=Go Khan is ranked number 9 now.. Zahir Raheem is number 8.. Who win?
raheem will beat him easy. It will be an ugly fight as usual but raheem though he is the devil himself....will win this.
C'mon man, Raheem might be the most boring fighter on earth to watch. That said, it would be a close fight. Zahir "little Ruiz" Raheem would hug and grab and run and potshot, and Khan wouldn't be able to land much clean all night. As with most Raheem fights, it would depend on the mood of the judges, and the fight would be damn near unwatchable.
Khan - more accurate, lands heavier punches, and very very fast. Although Khan needs to reel his chin in, and get some later rounds in over the next couple of fights.
The light-hitting Raheem would fit in perfectly with the rest of Khan's opponents - although he seems to prefer light-hitting tomato cans or domestic fighters. A world class light-hitter might actually knock him out. Don't hold your breath waiting for his justifiably careful handlers to take it!!!
