Joke fight.
I just hope Casamayor turns down the offer, I don't wanna see him go through what Barrera did but the lure of £400,000 might do it.Quote:

Anyways it's shameful match making. Casamayor is past his prime. And he has no buisness fighting at 140. With that being said, I'm taking Casamayor to still beat him.
Casamayor is going in there out gunned. And he knows it. The UK will see every single dirty move in the book. He's going to rough up Con to the point where Con will be crying to ref at every oppertunity. He will take him out his game. A Con win wouldn't surprise me though. I can easily see the ref giving Con the win by DQing Casamayor. It's his only chance of winning
What a joke, Casamayor must be pushing 40 now. When is Khan going to face someone with a punch and within a decade of his own age? This is the Sun though, so I will pause before going into too much of a rant.
Really good test for Khan. A 39 yr old smaller man with a low KO%.:rolleyes:
Tell that to KatsidisQuote:

We all know if he fights someone in thier prime with a punch he will be knocked out , what limited respect i had for Khan has now gone , he talks the talk but cannot walk the walk.
is Khan playing Top Trumps with the past their prime boxing names?
Casamayor is quite impressive for a "stay busy" fight.
He's still P4P no.1 dirty.
You Khan haters could end up loving this as Casa roughs him up, then when the old boy has had enough you still get a good whinge about what a cunt Khan is.
Joke, simple as. Casamayor getting old and not being able to make 135 is simply not a good enough reason for him to be fighting at 140, let alone fighting Amir Khan. If Khan is a world champion at 140, then he should defend his belt against 140 fighters. Hell, even Andriy Kotelnik, Junior Witter and Paul McCloskey are rated higher than Casamayor at 140.
I would like to see Khan fight McCloskey, that would be a good fight.
Didn't Khan said he was looking, at some point, to fight great fighters past their prime?:rolleyes:
Give the man a break, he is fighting very soon so needs an opponent to stay busy, the other fighters are unavailable so this at katasidis are good options.
You know who's available? Prescott. That's right. The same guy who knocked him the fukk out in 54 seconds does not have a fight lined up. He could fight him. But he won't. Why? Fear. He gets no break.Quote:

This isn't a bad fight really, why the hell would he fight Ortiz? They've been building up Lopez-Gamboa for almost a whole year now and I doubt they will have fought by this time next year. It's just not a smart fight, Khan-Ortiz. If either one of those guys wins, they are just going to have their opponent dismissed anyways. Plus, it's not big right now. Look at Mares-Perez, a great fight with two great young talents and it's hardly ever talked about. Of course Khan-Ortiz would get more hype but not nearly as much as it has the potential to. Imagine them in LA with Ortiz' crowd and then a good sized Pakistani population plus Twitter followers, it would be huge. A PPV fight potentially why spoil it now? That's not realistic.
VD is right about Casamayor too, he's going into this fight with one gameplan and that's to be the man. He's going to try to wire Khan's jaw shut for Ramadan and he will do it by any means possible. The man has bad intentions all the time that will never leave him, he's clearly old and past his best but he's a legend thus he's been put on the legend killer's list. I'll watch it, if Khan can win it will be a good fight to build up his psyche because Casamayor will likely do his best Agapito Sanchez impersonation.

khan would batter victor ortiz it would be as senseless as marquez-diaz 2
Heck malignaggi has too much for ortiz, khan would either blow him out early or put in a career ending 12round hammering calzaghe-lacy style
LOL Hammer Malignaggi DOES NOT have to much for Ortiz.
Id say soQuote:

Paulie is undersized, not as fast as Vic, has nothing to keep Ortiz honest (unless he does another running man, that might do it), can't avoid a top fighter's right hand and that's why he's going to Italy because he knows he can't win against these guys. I'm sure your just underrating Ortiz but why? I mean in terms of talent he isn't far off of Khan and like Khan only has 1 loss on his record. He might not beat Khan but Paulie? I wouldn't give Malignaggi a chance.
