Khan v Prov

[mikeeod]

This would be a fascinating fight in my opinion. My initial thoughts are that Prov will walk him down and destroy him. That being said, if Algieri was able to outbox and outmaneuver Prov, Khan has a good chance of doing the same. I'm tired of Amir waiting around for one of the top two big names to fight him, instead of forcing big fights by beating a number of the other available decent/respectable names out there (Prov, Brook, Bradley, Thurman, Porter...etc.). One last thought that makes me wonder how effective Prov will be vs. Khan is the fact that it will be at 147 vice 140, and aggressive/strong guys like Prov tend to lose that edge as they go up, even one weight class (think Kostya,, Hatton, Mayorga...etc.).

How brave of Khan to fight a guy 2-3 in his last 5.

I love Provodnikov but he's one dimensional and he doesn't jab.

How brave of Khan to fight a guy who was cleanly outboxed (mostly) by Algieri, Matthysse and Bradley already.

What a ballsy guy that Khan is.

And people say Floyd was a cherry picker? LOL.

How brave of Khan to fight a guy who's been mostly fighting at 140.
