    David Diaz
    Nate Campbell

    I only ask cos the winner of Khan - Kristjansen gets a crack at Campbell's WBO belt.
    Diaz can't crack an egg, Campbell can - will Warren find a way out for his boy?
    :dunno:

    No way he enforces that mandatory, besides, Campbell has to fight Peterson and/or Raheem/Funeka to hang onto his other belts

    Both would break Khan in half right now.

    Diaz may not be able to crack an egg at elite level, but I'm damn sure he hit's harder than Willie Limond does, and he put Amir on queer street when they fought. He would fight that chin through the low left hand and knock Khan cleanly over.

    Nate would stretch Amir inside six if they fought now.

    As Salaco said, no way does Werren enforce that mandatory. Both of these fights are far, far too risky for a young, much hyped prospect with a suspect chin and a ridiculous tendency to keep his left hand at chest height.

    Khan needs more experience against live bodies before fighting at that level. Much more...

    Fan-fucking-tastic :doh:

    The higher they build him, the bigger the fall will be if it comes.

    I'd love to see Nate fight Amir on ITV (which won't happen because Werren peddles all his 'big fights' to Setanta anyway) just to watch Rosenthal spit Werren's cock out of his mouth for a moment of deep, distraught weeping...:lol:

    Khan could beat Diaz but Campbell would be too much for him imo.

    I dont think kahn could beat either guy right now. He was in a lot of trouble with lesser fighters than both those guys.

    I think Khan beats Campbell now, perhaps easier than he would beat D. Diaz.
    Very important that Khan fights D. Diaz before Juan Diaz, though.

    Fuck me mIKE, you're really going to be proved wrong.

    Campbell is far too tough and crafty for Khan to even be thinking about fighting at this stage.

    I've seen Khan since his amateur days, long before he turned pro, and the only times he's been at all impressive as a pro is his last 2 fights.

    He would be beaten soundly by either Diaz or Campbell.

    Well, I've been wrong before.

    But, unlike a lot of people, I'll back it up with a trade bet or whatever.

    I've seen Campbell look pretty mediocre too many times. At his best he might be too tough for Khan, but I don't think he's durable enough to be a tough guy against Amir like he could against Casa or Juan D.

    Khan would go through Katsidis and casamayor like a knife through a butter.
    Also, remember, Katsidis took fucking 5 rounds to dispatch of Earl as opposed to 2 minutes to that of Khan.

    If Katsidis can badly wobble and then be stopped by an old guy with average power (Casamayor)...then Khan is going to butcher both of them.

    :lol:

    noone overrates their sportsmen like the Brits.

    And Andy Murray will go through Djoker, Nadal, and Federer to win the Wimbledon this year, right? And Wwayne Rooney is the best footballer on the planet. :rolleyes:

    Khan sucks. As I've said before he's hand speed and a marketing campaign nothing else.

    *that said, I do expect him to win a world title. But one of these days he's gonna get a schooling of biblical proportions.

    Casa would pick Amir apart. It would be a systematic ass-raping.

    Katsidis would BREAK Amir in half. He beat Earl in five brutal rounds, though his (Earl's) corner threw the towel in during a sustained beating in Round 2 (Mickey Vann tossed it back out :lol:), whilst the Amir stoppage was one of the softest I've seen in a while. Earl was on his feet and trading...

    Khan would catch Katsidis coming in but Kats would cut the ring off and hammer Amir's glass chin right off his face.

    Khan would stand a chance against katsidis, but I would pick Michael.

    Casa would beat the crap out of Khan, Khan is far too amateurish to be beating the likes of that nasty little cuban bastard.

    Rubbish.
    Katsidis has merely proved how crap he is by taking 5 rounds to stop Earl and taking a beating off a 36-year old who can't punch.

    WTF is that all about?


    Khan is 5x faster than Katsidis and hits as hard.

    Thing is Gatti, Australian fighters are 5x worse than British ones. :popcorn:

    When did you last see an Australian boxer do well?
    Fucking NEVER.


    End of. :popcorn:

    Que?

    Katisidis beat Earl in TWO rounds, only for Mickey Vann to throw Earl's towel BACK OUT OF THE RING. The fact that it continued for three more rounds only allowed Earl to get KTFO twice in one fight.

    Khan's stoppage against Earl was fucking awful. Earl was on his feet and trading when the ref stepped in. Katsidis hit him with more and hurt him more, but Vann let the fight go on. Amir dropped him with a decent shot and the ref was already looking to step in...:shit:

    Casa may be over the hell, but he is ONE TRILLION times better than anyone Amir Khan has even WATCHED in a professional ring, let alone been in with. Fucking Willie Limond almost broke Khan in half, except he was too shit to finish him off. And I'm DAMN CERTAIN that Casa hits harder than that Scottish bum.

    You think Katsidis defense is bad? What the hell is Amir Khan's left hand all about- he comes in with it languishing by his friggin' waist. Casa would pick him off with straight shots through that gap with absolute ease.

    About the only thing you said correctly is that Khan is faster than Katsidis. With that I agree, but it wouldn't matter SHIT. He sure as hell does NOT hit as hard as Kats. Like hell he does. How many elite fighters has Khan almost folded in half with a body shot? Actually, how many half decent fighter's has Khan almost folded in half with a body shot?

    Answer- NONE. Because he hasn't even fought a half decent fighter yet.

    If they fought tomorrow, Khan would be VIOLENTLY stretched by Casa in five horrible, one sided rounds.

    Khan is one step above the guy who delivers Ice in the old days.. a real tough guy but that's about it.

    in modern times.. I'd put Kahn on the level of a inner city bicycle courier.. in shape, can be aggressive but still pretty much garbage
