Khan-Malignaggi in the works

[Mattyhitman]

And non-punchers is all Con has been facing since he was almost decapitated by Prescott. How can he be new and improved if he's still being protected?

Would ya not class MAB as a world calss puncher ? The last thing a boxer losses is his punch.

This is, in my eyes, a good match up for Amir, both have similar skill-sets, i would suggest Khan hits harder than Paulie though, and it would be interesting to see if he can get Paulie out of there quicker than either Cotto or Hatton. I would go with Khan pts or late stoppage IF this fight were to come off. IMO his sparring with Manny can do nothing but good things for him.

not at lightweight no, and also even if power is the last to go, he didnt have the mobility or speed to land them shots, this really is clutching at straws !

along with the cut effecting his vision barrera couldnt land enough to test khan.... he fought one fighter with a bit of pop and we know how that turned out

Who's clutching at straws

I asked a simple question - Is MAB a world class puncher, no-one specified or asked if he can punch at different weights. Before the fight no-one including myself gave Khan much of a chance against a legend that is MAB. Especially as Khan has such a glass jaw !!!! Soo in effect MAB only had to land one clean shot on Khans chin and by all accounts he would be KO'd. My point being MAB is no mug with a world class punch. Khan survived it. FACT

he 'was' a world class puncher.... understand ? not no more...

the one shot he landed even half flush wobbled khan slightly, and then the cut happened and that destroyed the smallest of chances barrera had at the time
