Amir Khan calls out the big names.

[JazMerkin]

I just don't see Khan ever having the ability to beat JMM, Pac or PBF. Yes, he has great handspeed, but those guys are up there with some of the ATGs. They can't just be beaten by speed. Although by the time Khan hits his peak those guys will either be in their 40s or approaching it.

They need to avoid talk of him fighting welters right now, or they'll get themselves into the trap of talking a division ahead like at 135. If he beats Kotelnik, & its a big if, then he can focus on 140, which looks like it could become a stacked division. Fighting Maidana would get him a lot more credit amongst the boxing community, & then there's the possibility of some BIG fights with the likes of Alvarado, Bradley, Devon Alexander, Valero if he moves up & Ortiz if he can come back from the Maidana defeat, which I think he will.

Talking about Top 5 guys at WW is just stupid right now.

EDIT: I think Martinez beats Mitchell, because Mitchell can't resist the temptation to mix it & Martinez doesn't hit like Carl Johanneson

Not really sure what you meant by your last comment, so when you reply explain that to me mate. Because i don't think Roman Martinez is really a big puncher, 13 KO's out of 22 wins is only a fair KO record.

I'm not going by his boxrec, I'm going on the fights of his I've seen. When he catches someone they feel it, if you watch his fights you'll see he's got some pretty good power, however, he doesn't always throw in the most effective manner & I think some of those decisions are where they've tried to get him to work on his boxing in what are basically warm-up bouts. Most of his fights against better opponents he takes them out. I'm not saying he's Valero, but he has more power than anyone Mitchell has faced & I don't think Mitchell will take em well.
