will be a tough fight for Khan but I believe he can do it. He has really started to show that he is on track for a title shot and if he can get a good win here he is certainly on his way. I think hes learnt a lot from the Limond fight and ever since then he gets the nod from me. He impressed me that night a lot !
He will never beat Juan Diaz he better avoid him like the plague.Quote:

Jonny Eames new Earl had nothing left and that is why he did not want to train him anymore.
Most def. Khans toughest test thus far.Quote:

Romanov can move well, hes a smart boxer and I can def. see him walking away with the win. If Khan beats Romanov he's def. earned a shot at being ranked for one of the titles.
That's exactly how it should be though. At this stage each fight should be a step up and with each new fight he should be able to say he will be my toughest opponent.Quote:

Is this official yet because i heard elsewhere (frank watrren tv) he was fighting in a wbo title eliminator against a highly ranked unknown
Boxrec have got Khan fighting Martin Kristjansen on feb 2nd for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title in the ExCel ARENA
yeh thats the guy i heard he was fighting and it was for said title.....and warren was speaking to the wbo about trying to make it a world title eliminator.Quote:

This fight was announced over a week ago.
I'm not sure where the rumours he was fighting Romanov have come from but as far as I know there is no truth to them

Call me crazy but I think in another year or so Khan will do very against Diaz.Quote:

I just can't see Khan allowing Diaz to throw all those punches at him like his last few opponents have done.
It will be a real tear up imo and Khan would certainly give Diaz problems.
The fight may well end up with Khan being knocked out but I reckon it be one hell of a tear up whilst it lasted and honestly the way Khan has progressed in the last year or who knows in another year he might be an absolute beast.
He's got the speed and power to hurt anyone in the division imo, his chin is still a questionmark but David Haye has a similar problem and still became the undisputed cruiserweight champ and I really think Khan can do the same.
He has a true fighter's spirit and heart, something you can't train for. I think he's going to be a superstar, bigger than Benn and Eubank, maybe bigger than Hatton and Calzaghe.
I actually think he is more talented than Hatton and Calzaghe.....especially at 21 years old.
I think he would give Diaz a whole lot of problems
Kahn looks like he will physically peak in about 18 months time and when he does he will be an absolute animal.
