    I don't think he has. In a few months time he'll be back to being known as 'That Irish guy Khan was going to fight"

    I agree with that. He is currently just a name in an article. If he takes the fight, he fights on PPV TV and everyone will know who he is.

    If he gave a good account of himself, he'd give himself a really good platform to build from.

    Obviously if Khan battered him silly, he'd be known as 'That Irish guy who Khan battered'.

    Still a risk worth taking though.

    Even if Khan took him apart, he could use it as an opportunity to build. Nobody now remembers Sergio Martinez as 'That Argie Margarito battered' do they?

    Legacies aren't built by taking an easy fight for the same money at home. Sometimes, you gotta take a chance. If you get battered, use it as a learning curve. Khan did (although he had significent advantages) and Martinez is the prime example of this.
