Amir Khan vs Erik Morales

[fan johnny]

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.

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.
