Khan-Malignaggi in the works

[littlebif]

It would be funny if Paulie ko'ed Khan

[Nameless]

As I stated before, I think that Paulie's a good test for Khan, perhaps not on the knocking power but for the all around boxing abilities. If he can pull out this one, he will have shown to everybody that his boxing skills aren,t a fluke at all and are to be taken very seriously. It will also give him an excellent window through the US. Pretty good match up and that will answer a few questions though some more remain to be unfold.

Paulie is a very good test for Khan, but I too think Khan will win by a wide UD, possibly a TKO but there's no way Khan is knocking Paulie out, or even knocking him down for that matter. I'd still rather see Khan-Maidana though.. which I assumed would be Khan's next fight, wasn't khan told he had to fight Maidana within 90 days of the Salita fight? or maybe I mis-heard.

Not the worst choice but again he is kept away with anyone with any power, shame he's not fighting Judah.

Judah would kill him. They want to try and extend Khan as far as the wallet will allow. It won't get all that far now though. 15 quid a shot to watch him? Surely the British people aren't that loopy?

Im not to sure Judah would kill Khan Miles, I mean who has Judah beat who is anywhere near world class in the last 4/5 years? If you look at his record the last name Judah beat was Spinks in Feb 05 thats 5 years ago, Yes his level of opposistion is very good but still I think aslong as Khan can survive the first 5/6 rounds hed easily beat Judah at this stage, and it's alot more appealing fight imo, fighting another feather fisted fighter is just fueling the fire even more for the haters.

I think I was being optimistic in saying Judah would kill Khan. Judah has the speed, and quite possibly the power to give Khan fits. Might be a better fight than Malignaggi actually. I am not sold on Khan and think there are a lot of better fighters out there than him.

With no secondary meanings or disparaging undertones whatsoever, I am also leaning towards agreeing with Bilbo, although Paulie isn't a puncher he's still a significant boxing challenge and will provide Khan with a bigger challenge than he's had so far. Plenty of time for Khan to take on the rest of the comers in the division, and make the bigger unification fights, (which he may well lose), but for now let Khan just grow into his title and face some decent but not overly dangerous opponents.

[Pugilistic]

Paulie has no power at all so i'm not surprised this is the fight they want.

Besides that though, i do think Paulie is a good step up in class for Khan as Paulie has very good boxing skills.

If it happens, i'm looking forward to it.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I like Khan but i can only be impressed by this match-up if Khan stops Paulie quicker than Hatton. Without getting rocked of course

[Master]

Not really interested, now if he was trying to unify the titles then that would be a different story.

[Nameless]

Maybe I am a soft hearted and that I appreciate Khan more than what I want to admit but I really don't see the problem with him fighting Paulie. Actually, I think it is a master move from his management to help him make a name in bold letters in the States. NOt that I don't want to see him face a banger, it will happens quite soon un-doubtfully, but I have the impression that many peoples just want to see him fight a banger in a desperate hope that he gets knocked out. Damn, he's still only a kid and already has a very good resume, give him time and a chance, after such things as the Bautista episode, it's normal they go progressively and wisely with him.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Actually, i read in Boxing News just this morning (Fridays publication) that he is after Judah?

Where's the source man?
