There are some excellent lighter weight South African fighters out there, usually give good account of themselves.Quote:

Who has Khan fought? To say who gets paid what, Khan’s only highlighted wins are against the much smaller Barrera, fighting way above his fighting weight, again Khan had all the advantages size, reach, age,
and he won that by a head butt,
and the light punching Malignaggi, Khan does not have the punching power to trouble any of the current lightwelter champs; Khan has been nothing but Hype and spin since turning pro,
With or without Freddie Roach this man is a regular fighter. Nothing special. He can't beat Bradley or Alexander and doesn’t really have the stones for maidana. Khan has been forced to take the Maidana fight, how anyone can believe the shit coming from Khan’s mouth is beyond me, Khan is fast and throws allot of powder puff punchers, but no power be hide them, he has a glass chin, or he did have unless Freddy Roach waved a magic wand and toughed it up.
At 140 he tends to overwhelm opponent with punch volume rather than power.
I'd argue that's what Khan has done for pretty much most of his career...
I'd argue that you're an idiot.Quote:

He's very skillful fighter, with some recognition. And Amir Khan would get alot of credit if he won. I know i would give him alot of credit.
As for Kaizer Mabuza, to be honest i hadn't really heard of him either. Until the Kendall Holt fight, which is why i called it an upset. As it totally come out of nowhere, because people thought it was more like a warm up for Kendall Holt, to get ready for bigger and better fights.
But those two fights would make the most sense, there's few prospects with undefeated records. But they aren't really known and it would be a waste of time.
Although Lamont Peterson vs Amir Khan wouldn't be bad come to think of it.
Would he?? The guy is what 36/37 has shown no power since his days as a 126 lb fighter, I don't want to see that fight at all. Khan would get no credit at all, he wasn't getting slated for wanting to fight Marquez but you think fighting Guzman he would?
Where as when JMM moved up, he looked chubby around the midsection. And has no business moving up, Joan Guzman has had trouble making Lightweight limit for over 2 years.
And infact i thought he fought a good fight vs Ali Funeka, i mean with that attitude who would he get credit for fighting then ? you say Maidana is crap, Alexander has been exposed, so who is there then ?
I think Joan Guzman is one of the better opponents he could fight, except for a fight vs Timothy Bradley.
Plus his career hasn't been that hard, its not like he's been in wars like JMM. He's 34 but he's not an old 34, and he's only had 30 pro fights, i don't think he's worn out at all. And he still has some good fights left in him.
Infact there's good chance Joan Guzman could beat Amir Khan.
Guzman's skill vs Khan's speed - goodnight Amir ;)
As i said before who else really is there ? Devon Alexander has been exposed and has lost alot of hype, getting an underserving decision against Andriy Kotelnik.
Outside of his punching power, Marcos Rene Maidana isn't really much. I mean i understand why people want to see it, i do aswell because atleast there's that danger element with his power, plus i'd like to see if Amir Khan can beat a puncher fighting a smart fight.
I know he has improved somewhat with his defense and ETC, but again Kotelnik, Malignaggi. Are light hitters and Amir Khan did get caught quite a few times against those fighters, so i'd like to how Amir Khan dealt with the pressure and power of Marcos Rene Maidana.
But again there's no real mega opponent for him at moment except Timothy Bradley, but Amir Khan isn't ready for that fight yet.
So fighting Joan Guzman who doesn't carry a big punch, but has some good credentials and is a very skillful fighter. Who will test Amir Khan seems like an ideal opponent IMO.
You must be a dickhead for believing all the shit coming from Khan , Your just another A mere Khon ball sucker,Quote:

Still not sure this is official James when did you here this mate? His Twitter has nothing.
Last I heard it was going to a purse bid requested by Maidana a few days ago. The purse bid is suppose to be on the 21st I think.
I wouldn't argue with that.Quote:

Maidana is more hype then people claim that Khan is and I think Khan will rpobably stop him rather then the other way around, bradley is a much better challenge imo but no one is quite ready for him just yet.
