Does anyone see this fight coming to fruition ? Would be a huge fight and the first genuine world class fighter he has faced thus far. He needs to face a big name now and this will be a huge fight. Would he win ?

No he wouldn't win Casamayor is a good puncher and is far too skilled he would stop Khan in the middle rounds no question in my mind, in fact like i said in the other thread i can't see Khan beating any of the top Lightweights.Quote:

At this moment in Khans career I would have to say Casa catches him with a boomer and it's goodnight.,unless it turned out Khan really isn't that chinney.
Although casa does seem to be slightly on the slide. Could be one Warren might risk.
I Actually think khan deserves more credit than he is actually getting from saturday night.
I questioned his ability to actually go toe to toe and be brave enough to fight someone like gomez.
But he did and came out on top.
Still too many questions to suggest he would be able to see off someone like casa or nate though.
Would need to see him in with someone like romanov or kats before actually believing he`d be good enough for a world title shot!!
Casa's superior power and presision punching KO Khan.
Casamayor is world class and wins by KO inside 6
Casa by KO
My unbiased opinion would be Casamayor crushes Con in 1
yeah Casa wins this one handily
Too soon, IMO.
Something tells me once Khan makes his way over to the US.
Were gonna be hearing a lot about when Naz came over.
At least that's how I see FW trying to sell Khan to the states.
I mean how else could he sell 'em?
I like Khan, the kids def. talented I just think he needs to take this art a bit more serious and I think he does ONLY after he's been down.
I think the kids good for the sport and the marketability is there it's been there since his amateur days.
Lamb to the slaughter Kahn would be demolished.
exactly. a seasoned 25 year old Amir then yea maybe,Quote:

Khan needs to fight a genuine 135lb top 10 fighter that will come to win.
He gets stopped in my opinion. He has been dropped by decent domestic level super featherweights who have moved up. A legit lightweight world champion would stop him. He needs another year and a half in my opinion. I also do not see him being lightweight for that much longer. He claimed at the weekend that he has dropped his body fat to 1.5%. Too low in my opinion. If he keeps on doing the weights he will have to move up.
I would like to see him fight a decent level European, challenge for the European (Romanov at the mo), a couple of fringe contenders (Katsidis, or someone like that then go for the title after that.
If he actually said that, he's full of garbage. If his bodyfat % was anywhere below 2 we'd be able to see the defenition in his organs. As far as I know the body cannot survive with much less that 3%, and it wouldn't benefit any athletic pursuit to even think about having lower.Quote:

Your right it can't. Con is full of shiit.Quote:

Casaymayor would win this pretty easily i think.
Fuckin Santa Cruz would beat Khan:rolleyes:
Khan is as skilled as all the guys at 135 and faster he just doesnt have a chin.
Yeah I'm inclined to agree.. I think Khan has tremendous ability, he is super fast, has the potential to be a great offensive fighter(technically). But his chin is proving to be basically garbage. It doesn't matter what kind of combinations he's capable of putting together if the first decent looping shot that lands upstairs is going to hurt him.. And if Michael Gomez can land numerous telling blows and hurt Khan on multiple occasions, I just can't see a top lightweight not taking that advantage. Having said all that, I think Khans best shot at being a world champ anytime soon would indeed be to catch Casamayor when he's slipped even further.. But then again people said Gomez had been shot for years, when he was never anything special to begin with. I really wouldn't feel confident picking Khan over just about anyone who can punch for shit.Quote:

If he was going to jump into a fight with one of the elite at 135 Casa is as good a choice as any IMO. He's past his best, way past it IMO, had to go through hell against guys like Santa Cruz and Katsidis, not really a guy who's great at pressuring fighters, and he's got a pretty good punch but not a great one.

Santa Cruz outworked Casa... He doesn't get enough credit for beating a whily vet.
Casamayor was probably underrated for a long time, a great fighter IMO and a guy that's really never been conclusively beaten (by that I mean he's never taken a beating and all of his decision losses have been close)but he's way past it now IMO. I've been saying that for a long time, since the last Corrales fight and nothing he's done since then has changed my opinion at all.Quote:

I do agree with this but the way he was able to walk through fire in the Kats fight impressed me... Not so much impressed me because Casa fought so well... But impressed me cuz he is clearly past his prime and fought the only fight he could have... Fights like that are what they're gonna look like from now on.
This fight will never happen.
The fighters mentioned are practically from different eras.
Casamayor is coming to the end, Kahn isn't even fully developed.
Khan gets smashed by ANY top lightweight.
AgreedQuote:

With 1.5% bodyfat it would be almost impossible for your body to absorb vital vitamins and minerals.
