Paulies main issue with this fight is gonna be keeping khan at reach. If its in the US the ring will be large to cater paulies needs. Somehow cant see him keeping khan at bay for 12rounds and he sure as hell aint gonna hurt him.
Khan on points
another feather fist! Perfect for him:cool:Quote:

Would ya not class MAB as a world calss puncher ? The last thing a boxer losses is his punch.Quote:

I would go with Khan pts or late stoppage IF this fight were to come off. IMO his sparring with Manny can do nothing but good things for him.
not at lightweight no, and also even if power is the last to go, he didnt have the mobility or speed to land them shots, this really is clutching at straws !Quote:

along with the cut effecting his vision barrera couldnt land enough to test khan.... he fought one fighter with a bit of pop and we know how that turned out
yep and with one eye and a glancing shot gave him jelly legs so of course they're going to avoid anyone who can wobble him.Quote:

I tend to agree somewhat with Violent D on this one. Relinquishing your belt because you are afraid to face punchers isn't what champions do. On the other hand, at 22, Khan is a work in progress, but why then fight weak mandatories for belt he doesn't intend to keep? And why is he ranked number two at 140 by many people when he won't fight Maidana?Quote:

At the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with Khan refining his craft before facing punchers, but he can't be counted in the top five of the division if he won't fight a handful of the top ten because he has a glass jaw.
Who's clutching at straws :confused:Quote:

I asked a simple question - Is MAB a world class puncher, no-one specified or asked if he can punch at different weights. Before the fight no-one including myself gave Khan much of a chance against a legend that is MAB. Especially as Khan has such a glass jaw !!!! Soo in effect MAB only had to land one clean shot on Khans chin and by all accounts he would be KO'd. My point being MAB is no mug with a world class punch. Khan survived it. FACT

he 'was' a world class puncher.... understand ? not no more...
the one shot he landed even half flush wobbled khan slightly, and then the cut happened and that destroyed the smallest of chances barrera had at the time
Kel Brook? You say that as if Kel Brook is some proven world star, Kel Brook has fought and faced no one at this moment in time, Ortiz getting murdered by Brook very much doubt that.Quote:

Kel Brook? The guy who's set to fight Michael Jennings (who appears to be the biggest test of his career)? Brook is a good prospect, but at this point I see no reason to think he would "murder" a fighter like Ortiz.Quote:
