Amir Khan vs Erik Morales

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

If Guerrero, Rios, Maidana, Holt & Matthysse could form an orderly queue, I'd be most grateful.

Just heard that Morales has decided NOT to fight Anthony Crolla in September.

That's the fight with Khan agreed then...

My guess is GBP decided to cut offer in order to put Alvarez vs Gomez on the PPV card of Mayweather / Ortiz which closed that door.

People are talking as if Morales is no challenge for Khan. Morales may be old but he showed everyone against Maidana he is no Zab Judah. What would have been the outcome of the Maidana fight if Morales had two eyes for the complete fight?

Fighting Morales is a step backwards. I know Erik done well against Maidana but Maidana is too one dimension and just comes forward in straight lines. Khan is too quick, too big and too strong for Morales. I think he'll stop him in around six. If that.

Wouldn't say a step backward. Morales might be tougher than Judah.

Its a backwards step for Khan imo, i know Morales is coming of a decent showing and a close lose to Maidana but Maidana is not a worldclass boxer he is just a good puncher Maybe if Morales eye didnt swell he might of won but that is boxing u get hit and you swell up.

Morales is way past his best and fighting at a higher weight than he used to in his prime and at the age of 34 he isnt gonna beat Khan who is just to srtong and fast for him.

Morales hasnt beat a world class fighter since Manny Pacquiao back in 2005.He did have around 3 years out of boxing inbetween but still its along time ago.

Khan and strength is an Oxymoron. Khan is slightly taller than Morales not too big for him. As far as Khan's career is concerned facing Morales is no further backward than Mayweather facing Mosley. Morales is a much better technical boxer than Judah or Maidana and although he is slower in his old age he still has his timing. Khan doesn't have a huge punch output and would definately have to box Morales on the outside and utilize his quickness to defeat Morales the same as when he fought Maidana otherwise he gets KO'd.

Agree but I don't think it would take him that long - as another post says it's another past the best fighter (no disrespect to Morales as he is a great) for his cv! Look I know I may be contradicting myself re going backwards BUT Khan has one loss on his record....how he can look himself in the mirror every day and not put that one to bed I just don't know!!!!
