How far will Khan's chin take him?

[generalbulldog]

But that's the thing. You continually point out that Khan is a fraud yet you keep comparing his career to the likes of Leonard and De La Hoya. It doesn't make sense. If you think he's a fraud and if you think his name shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Mayweather then isn't it fair to be comparing him to fighters of a lesser level such as Ricky Hatton....who at a similar stage in his career, with the same promoter, hadn't fought anyone who was anywhere near world level, let alone a top 5 p4p'er.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be facing tough challenges, but i don't see why he needs to burn himself out and put his career on the line just as it's starting, to fight the toughest opponents for the least reward. Nobody is going to do that.

I don't know whether or not he's a fraud, but I'm sick of hearing he's only 23 excuse so many times and the he has to take easy fights because he's still a prospect. He's an world champ he ain't no prospect anymore. And why not use the greatest ever as an measuring stick? Every boxer aspires to be great like those guys.

Who takes tough fights for the least reward? Geez I don't know, Mayweather early at 130 against Manfreddy, Delahoya taking on Rafael Ruelas and Genaro Hernandez at 22 years old, Pacquiao taking on the lineal flyweight champ at 19 and then fighting JMM at 126 later in his career (JMM at that time was a high risk low reward type fight) after beating MAB.

Next year it's going to be he's only 24 years old excuse when he fights guys like Malinaggi or a shot Casamayor moving up to 140 or something like that or maybe he gets Erik Morales at 140.

You keep calling him a fraud and referring to him as con so i'm pretty sure you believe that.

What's wrong with him fighting Malignaggi? He's just coming off two of his best performances?

So Maliganggi is good enough for Hatton and Cotto but he aint good enough for Khan?

Just admit, you want him to fight someone with a big punch but very little skill, just so you can pull out the 'i told you he was a fraud' card.

Malinaggi is a powerderpuff gatekeeper or an tuneup fight.
Okay then. He doesn't need to fight Maidana. How about Timothy Bradley, the number 1 jr. welterweight? Is that guy a big puncher with no skills?
The guy has been calling out Khan and is willing to travel to England and fight him. But I guess Tim Bradley is just a big puncher with no skills right?

At this time next year you'll be defending Khan for fighting Erik Morales at 140 or even Casamayor and using the excuse, "He's only 24 years old, give him time!"

Malignaggi isn't a gatekeeper. He's a legit contender at 140. I think Bradley is the best at 140, but i'd definitely say Malignaggi fits nicely somewhere in the middle of the rest of the contenders like Alexander, Peterson etc...

I think he's improved since leaving Buddy.

I rate Bradley quite highly having seen the Peterson performance but i don't think it's a fight that Khan needs right now. I think it's definitely one for the future but i don't feel he can take it until he's improved a little more....which he will do under Roach.

Khan vs Bradley can be a big money fight in the future but it makes no sense to make it now for much less money and exposure than it could generate in the future. Hatton and Mayweather wasn't made straight after Hatton beat Tyszu and that was good because it generated much more money a few years later. I think Khan and Bradley will go down this road and i believe it should do because both fighters are very talented imo.

I've said it before, i don't think Khan should have gone for a title...because he's nowhere near the finished article. I think he needs to build up a little more experience by fighting guys who pose less of a threat than Bradley...but guys who are good enough to push him hard.

I think he should have relinquished straight away. Beating Maidana won't prove that much imo. It'll just mean Khan has a 1-1 record against sluggers. It'll just mean he might get knocked out or he might not, if he was to fight sluggers in the future.

His chin will always be a problem. I think he should relinquish and just concentrate on improving to a point where Maidana and fighters of that ilk become less of a career risk.

However, i don't think he should be fighting Morales or Casamayor...lol. Malignaggi would be great for him i feel. It's winnable and marketable given Paulie's recent form. I'm not sure Marquez is a good choice. I think he still has what it takes to ko Khan. He's accurate and he caught Mayweather a few times with the straight right. I'm not sure Khan takes those punches too well.
