Paulie 28/1 to KO Khan ON SKY BET

Jokes aside, I think it will be a tough test for both of them

Khan is my favourite to take it but I'd be surprised it if was an easy night's work

A good name for Khan to fight but still an easy opponent and win for him
Khan has Height, Reach, Faster Hands, Hits Harder, Better Defence, Better Offence
Malignaggi does have a solid Chin, but with the amount of punches Khan will throw and land I think it will be an easy tko win for him
I know Willie Limond knocked him down, but that means nothing really because Khan as fought a lot more harder hitting fighters since and not been knocked down by them

Khan may be bigger, have greater reach and hit harder. However, Malignaggi is a good boxer, fairly elusive, tough chin (which we all know Khan doesn't).

Malignaggi counter punches well and throws from unorthodox angles. Put it all together and I think he still has the power to trouble Khan and the skill to land.

Khan will have to execute his game plan very well and I'll be impressed if Khan makes this look easy; this will be his first tough fight in a while.

I disagree mate, although i could be proved wrong.

He is elusive but can he be elusive enough to avoid Khans hands i dont think he can, also i dont think he'l be able to counter Khan if he was to throw 1 or 2 shots yes, but khan throws 4-6 at a time usually

I see where you coming from, and I do think Khan will prob get a fairly close points decision.

Just looking at things on the flipside, people think Malignaggi is perfect for Khan, due to not being a big hitter: but I'm sure Malignaggi's camp will think Khan is perfect for them with such a suspect chin, and Malignaggi throwing shots from unusual angles.

I'm actually trying to picture the fight, I honestly see Khan making Paulie looking silly.

When is the Mosley v Mayweather fight?

May 1st

sl


So everybody agrees Khan will win?

Trident, your prediction is beyond 3 rounds = paulie winner?

Hi mate,
 
Yes bro, I think he can withstand the first few rounds of Khans speed and not curl up into a ball like most Khan fodder has. If Paulie sticks behind his jab and counters Khan I can see him doing well and Khan not liking it.
 
The only was I can see Khan stopping him is on cuts.
 
 

Fair point^. Whatever happens it will be a very intresting bout.

So...

May the 1st = Mosley v Mayweather
May the 15th = Khan v Malanaggi

what an awsome month of boxing! can't wait!

I hope Khan and Mosley come out on top.

Good interview with De La Hoya for those who missed it, talking about Pacquiao, Mayweather and Khan.

Cheers for that Neb, good post.

one thing that cannot be argued is that this is finally a step in the right direction in terms of opponent for khan.

i think he will win, but i dont think it will be an easy fight for him.

Paulie is in a great position in this fight. Big underdog despite a good last fight.

Paulie has it all to gain and Khan has it all to lose despite thier history being poles apart.

You can see Paulie oozing with confidence. he has been banging on about his new trainer and how he gets the best out of him.

Whatever is to be said, but no one can dispute this is going to be an elctrifying fight. Khan with Blitzering hand speed and ability to move around nicely. Paulie with incredible moving around ability with good hand speed.
My money will be on Khan via KO, soley down to his magnificent hand speed and his aptitude to throw quick flurries of punches.

Defo worth a fiver.  Paulie is a classy boxer, with his slick style and khan's all out style, he is bound to land and if khan walks onto one it could put him down as we know what his chin is like.
 
I'm looking forward to this one, think the styles will make a very good contest.

The thing with paulie being so under estimated in this fight is that if he loses he will still have a career and can take a reasonable loss not too bad. For Khan there would realy be no place to go and a bad loss would spell then end.

there is no way in hell mallinaggi is getting K.O'd by khan. khan has never propperly K.O'd anyone, just had the ref jump in. and if the likes of cotto cant K.O mallinaggi then khan has no chance LOL

Khan will be too good for paulie imo, hes too fast,stronger,and moves better than paulie,i think khan will ko him in under 4 rounds.

Thats the kiss of death for khan though now i said that

I am so bored of Khan taking easy fights with bums.  I don't even bother to watch them anymore.  He has NEVER fought anyone worth a toss on the world stage.

Kahn gives it the arrogant crap "I'm ready for a world title" the 'I'm so good' bullsh1t and dodges ever half decent fighter out there.

Admittedly paulie is a step up for him.  But it's a step up from the very bottom.  All this crap from kahn, that one day he will be lb-4-lb and he's love to fight mayweather etc is exactly that- crap.

He said years ago he would like to fight hatton, but he won't do it, at least untill hatton is completely over the hill.

Diaz
Mayweather
Cotto
Mosely
Paquio
marqeuz
campbell

All in or around his weight, all proven fighters, all would love to fight him, all ranked contenders, all big pay days.

Hell, even at this stage of his career witter would thrash kahn.

So kahn opts to fight the boxer with the single lowest KO percentage in his division.  The smallest name, the easiest opponent.  At the same time he talks of defeating mayweather, and paquio.

Kahn is crap.  He is over rated, arrogent and lousy.  Roach has done a fair job with him, and as a result kahn looks a lot better.  But he is still a coward, terrified of fighting anyone in thier prime or anyone decent.  He still has the weakest chin in the division, the weakest heart in the division and the most narrow skill set.

He will beat paulie, comfortably.  He will then go on to recite his rhetoric of being the best since sugar ray, and the best in the world, only to later fight another muppet who either has pillows for fists or is well into his forty's.  And the media bullsh1t will continue...

lol at this post.

Hatton and Khan fight can't happen as Hatton has retired. Even if he wasn't Khan would beat Hatton with ease at this stage of his career.

As to the list you put up. Khan challenged Marquez for his debut fight. Marquez opted out of the fight.

Finally, these are still early days for Khan especially in the States. He is heading in the right direction. Remember Hatton didn't fight Mayweather, Pacqiou till after 40 odd fights, including Paulie. Just Give Khan a chance, there's plenty of time before he peaks lol.
