Khan v Prov

[Primo Carnera]

I think a pressure fighter like Prov, that will constantly walk Khan down, is his worst nightmare. Peterson, Maidana, Diaz, Collazo and Algeiri all had success when relentlessly putting it on him.

Khan wipes the floor with boxers. Prov is a tank.

I agree , Prov will just keep coming like Algieri did . However, don't hold your breath.

Looks like Khan is playing "the waiting game" again! Why am I not surprised? He'd better pray the fight comes off, because he can't hide anymore.

I would love to see this fight. Khan could get some respect back (from me)for taking it.

He can hide all he wants, he's been taking lessons from Floyd for a few years.
My complaint was always that Khan wanted to go to the head of the line but after Berto vs Floyd all you can say is that Floyd is the most blatant cherrypicker in the history of boxing. Oh yeah baby, TBE cherrypicker, Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The only cherry picking you can accuse Khan of is trying to cherry pick a big payday with Floyd.

Khan showing more balls than floyd.

Kahn will box prov's head off until prov connects and knocks khans head off.

[Spicoli]

Great styles match up with both having the ideal opponent to maximize their biggest strength. Provo with the undentable physicality and pop and Khans speed and mobile boxing. This isn't five years ago and this isn't that Khan nor is it Maidana. It's flawed thinking to automatically assume a pressure puncher gets to aglass chin and we've all done it, but in this case I'm going with it. I honestly don't think Khan has the mentality to deal with the unrelenting pressure of a Provo. Add the chin with the punch resistance of a used lightbulb and Provo gets to him, vicious to the body as much as the head. On the flip side Provos face and eyes tend to bust up. Khan has the ability to cut him to ribbons but eventually his feet stop to do so. Will vs skill or flesh vs chin, either way Khan gets caved in I believe.

Depends where you see Khan.

It is ballsy for Khan to take on an aggressive puncher which is what Amir has clearly avoided. It is a step up in that sense.

However it is a blown up light welterweight who is very one dimensional, can be clearly out boxed and beaten by the opponent Khan has already beaten. It is a step down in that sense.

so youve done an up and a down, is there a middle?
