the topic name makes no sense ;)
I was shocked to see Earl go in the 1st.
Its a shame becuase i wanted to see Khan take one of his digs.
Not sure if its deserved
But he did fuck Earl up big time.
He will be number 1 in the world....trust me!
Khan is definately moving up nicely, it's hard to believe how young he is only 21 with all of the exposure he has.
Although I am definately not a fan of his, I will be following his career closely.

He deserves it i guess..
Well done to him.
Just hope he keeps stepping up the competition, great talent, great prospect.
I thought Khan's performance was really great. He deserves to be top 10 definetely.
You mean, straight in with baby bull himself?Quote:

Good performance on the weekend, I'm sure he'll get a belt sometime, but to get one of the big four this year seems unlikely considering the champions, though Casamayor is slipping, I doubt Khan is anywhere near in line to fight him.
Put him in with Juan Diaz, i would love to see Khan get destroyed he talks to much. His comment about Floyd Mayweather Jr was ridiculous.
Well he's fought pretty much the same level of competition as Katsidis so definitely deserves it imo.
Khan is overrated. John Thaxton would beat him.
I'm not sure he's ready to face anyone in that top 10 (apart from D.Diaz, Khan would KO him) but on form lines with Katsidis and Romanov his place is justified.
Why does everyone hate on David Diaz so much? He knocked out Santa Cruz and beat Erik Morales in a fight that could have gone either way yet everyone assumes he's pretty much the worst lightweight in the world ???Quote:

But David is just easy to put down and for some reason has few fans outside of Chicago.
I don't hate him.Quote:

He's easy to hit, not a big puncher, can be easily hurt and I see Khan blasting him to bits. That's all.
Call me crazy but I see D Diaz as the second best of the champs behind Juan. I reckon he'd smoke Katsidis, retire Casamayor and give Manny Pacquaio a good fight if that matchup happened.
He's very underratted imo. Not a great fighter by any means but he has tons of heart, reasonable power and constantly moves forward. He always makes for entertaining fights at least.
You're dreaming if you think Kahn can beat the Baby Bull.Quote:

I agree just because he beat a shot Graham Earl, that doesn't mean he can beat someone in the class of Juan Diaz. I think people are forgetting Khan's suspect chin.Quote:

Whens that then. When the Baby bull retires?
Juan Diaz is only 24. LOL
Have to say, i think Ricky hatton would of done a lot lot better if he had spared with Kahn before his Mayweather fight.
In fact i would of suggested Kahn to be Ricky Hattons main sparing partner. ;)
What did he say ICB. ::**Quote:

Khan turned 21 last weekend, has been a pro 2 years and had 15 fights.
With the potential improvement from Khan, to add to his obvious talent he could catch-up to Diaz pretty quick.
He could beat Mayweather in a 4 round fight, or something stupid like that.Quote:

Then again, ive been saying that about Floyd for the past few years. Still waiting....
I want to believe that Khan can break the mould and go for it this early in his career...but it's just not Warrens stamp is it?
Oh come on Donny, the P4P number 1 fighter against an upcoming prospect. Who has been put on the canvas by a mediocre lighting hitting Willie Limond, and has shown major flaws suggest its nowhere even close to an even match up.Quote:

Khan meant if they had a 4 round bout in the pros :-\Quote:

It would be good for Khan too because i think he would learn a hell of a lot from a fight like that, and even if he lost to him, i don't think it would do any real damage to his name or career, just educate him.
Khan does need to work on his footwork, and start coming in from angles, he can get away with it now against lesser fighter, but if he is being ranked in the top 10 now, the tougher fights seem to be very close, and khan will struggle unless he works on certain things he should have already.
Must say, i have been less than impressed by his trainers, he needs to drop them like he did earl and move to a proven gym.
