Khan Will Not Wait For Peterson, Career Moving Forward - Boxing News
This is saying that if Khan doesnt get a fight with Peterson he might move up and fight Mosley and make his welterweight debut ? What does everybody think about this? Apparently Peterson is going to fight Marquez next, I think Marquez will beat Peterson. I also think Khan will be too busy for Mosley nowadays as well.
I cant stand mosely after his weak performance against pac. His constant hugging and touching gloves was a sign of defeat and "please be easy on me".
Khan will certainly outbox mosely but mosely has that steriod power in his veins and if it gets dirty like peterson it could be lights out khan..if mosely has the legs.
I still wanna know who the best light welterweight in the world is?
Khan cannot and should not leave that division without fighting bradley!
Bradley would do better than peterson so khan needs to sort this out and stop chasing floyd.
Good bye mosley. Your old and that's why you lose, no other reason
Bradley could always eat a philly cheese steak steak and fight khan at welter weight...
True. These fights everyone wants to see just dont happen.
Bradley could step up to welterweight but is he ready for that?
Khans next move has got to be bradley or peterson..how can he step up to welterweight after a loss.
Better yet, add prescott to that list as i believe khan beating prescott will expel those demons. Its nots going to happen but i want to see it!!
I hate to see Mosley letting his old hide be used like a rented mule.
I want to see khan rematch Peterson and fight Bradley if he wins. I agree the 140 weight class needs to still be sorted out. However I do believe Bradley deserves a Pacquio showdown if Mayweather fights Cotto. It's a tough situation really. Bradley needs a big fight in his next fight, I wouldn't mind seeing Bradley - Khan now too.
Khan will be mosely last big payday.Quote:

Everybody would count Mosley out, so if this fight happens, GO MOSLEY!
Bradley has already fought at welter against Carlos Abregu. I think he unofficially weighed 156 pounds when he walked into the ring. He was still ripped as can be.Quote:

What other choice does he have in light welter. Wait around until one of them changes there mind. If you were in that position what would you do.Quote:

Thats what im saying, the guy doesnt need to be vegan to make 147.Quote:

tutu...they keep picking on old git Mosley...at least Mosley will get another half decent purse
job biscuit (wish somebody would challenge me for half mill)!!£
eh eh!!!
He doesn't deserve another payday. He has got 2 in a row for no return.
I don't know what to think of this fight. :confused:
What does it say about a sport when you can move up into a new weight class and get away with calling out a fighter from retirement rather than facing someone else, in a sport with numerous organizations. Khan may not be ready for Floyd or pacquiao but doesn't mean he should be able to avoid everyone else at welterweight.
Hes the guy being avoided by the two top people in the devision he currently resides in. Mosley is his first fight at that weight so its not that bad. I thought he was going to take on Mathew Hatton so this is ok in my book. Anyway Mosley only fought Manny just over half a year ago. If he is good enough to fight Manny then he is deffinately good enough to fight Khan.Quote:

But Mosley is ranked fifth in that devision so how can you complain.
I honestly see this as another tailor made Mosley career extender. I think he can beat Khan, and possibly even stop him. Mosley is still atop 10 welter.

Khan will wait for Peterson and not go to welterweight yet.
Khan also seems to be forced to joining Arum to get Peterson or Bradley and maybe even Pac Man.
I would much rather Khan face Peterson again in a rematch, failing that then Bradley at light welter but like you say they are not playing ball. It is the proliferation of names dictating the terms and conditions of who should be fought etc that has caused this mess. Money has always talked but there have also always been true champions willing to face anyone at a weight dictated by a division not a catch-weight and now it seems that the fighters willing to try and unify are being punished. Mosely may be a more competitive fight than Matthew Hatton for Khan but it is not about who is good enough to give him trouble. Mosley has had his career and fighting Khan ain't gonna do a lot to enhance it even if Shane beats him. Khan - Ortiz would answer a lot of questions about both fighters, hell what about Senchenko, has he retired or what ? How people can think Peterson doesn't owe Khan anything is beyond me. Sure Khan bitched but he also gave Peterson the chance to win both belts and now it seems again that both the Washington fighter and Bradley have no interest in fighting him. If Khan goes up to welter and avoids the top 3's from each organisation for a retired fighter he is no better.Quote:

Khan can make whatever excuse he wants about that peterson loss but he got beaten!
I like khan. But i dont like his runaway style. Prescott sparked him out and he wont even mention his name..peterson wins in a close match and rather than rematch he drags a 40 yr old, hugs and kisses, steroid using, no character, nice guy into a 144 catchweight!
But if Bradley or Peterson aren't interested, what is he supposed to do? He's not going to fight the guy who knocked him out, coming off a loss is he. That would be career suicide for anyone stupid enough to do it.Quote:

Khan will not be motivated fighting Shane, if he wins he will not get any credit at all. Prescott has won amazingly so now may be the right time to shut the fool once and for all.
I want prescott vs khan more than anything else. Khan has the boxing skills and speed to give anyone trouble but i believe that he is mentally scared and scarred of prescott and is even jumping weight class to avoid him.
Khan has so much work to do to still prove his worth as maidana is the only worthy win since prescott loss.
He must fight:-
1. Peterson
2. Bradley
3. Prescott.
Then move up.
But can he really just wait around and hope they change there minds. I would love to see Khan fight them. He has been calling them both out. He even offered Peterson 50/50 on the PPV.Quote:

Khan wants belts and to be at the top. He wont wait for people to change there minds. What would you do in his position. Fight other people in the devision like Maidana or Alexander and hope after that they will fight him. Or move up a devision and make your way to the titles there that you will probably get to fight for.
