Paulie 28/1 to KO Khan ON SKY BET

If Khan wins this fight it will once again put him in a difficult position and he may be forced to duck a mandatory or even jump weight divison to fight the weakest Welter they can make a match up with.

Khans a fool to himself and the army of boxing fans who dislike him is growing by the fight and theres no wonder why.

Hes picked Paulie as the easiest route by ducking maidana and the outcome will be even more folks getting behind Malignaggi to win this fight. Maidana offered Khan a method to win alot of respect even from those who dislike him.

I think khan has good ability as a boxer,his style is hard to fight against being so awkward.

I also think he is never going to be world champion material,i just dont think he has the ability to mix it with the best out there(his dodging of opponents has proved this)

His chin cannot be strengthend,and his heart is in question.what he needs for himself is to beat a good boxer for the confidence to grow with his skills,and to prove things to HIMSELF more than anyone else.imo of course.

But i see him winning this fight,not sure where i see him after that though.

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.

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.

No Hatton fought castio urango tzsu collazo.  When He claimed to be one of the best he actually went out and fought the best.  Even after mayweather he jumped back on the horse and had another pop at the lb-4lb king.

Hatton didn't have the media attention hype or any other crap untill after he beat castio.  Khan has had it his whole career.  Hatton didn't fight the top dogs, because he wasn't given the chance.  Khan is being given every chance, and evry time he won't take it.

While this isn't the 'peak' (gentle chuckle to myself) of Khan's career he's had 20 something fights against lousy opponents.  He's been knocked down, knocked out and thus far has fought nobody better than the last bum he faced.

You can't really compare Hatton with Khan, all you can do is appreciate the massive difference between them.

If Hatton and Khan fought this year (and it wouldn't be the first time Hatton has come out of retirement) my money would be on Hatton to KO Khan.  Khan simply doesn't have the power, heart or skills.  While I rekon Hatton is very much over the hill, I can't see him losing to khan unless it's a narrow points victory for khan.

Ridiclous scenario though, hatton can punch, and khan runs like usain bolt when he's running away from decent punchers.

As for marquez... Honestly who do you think would win that?  Marquez is a lot slower than he used to be, and a bit heavier, still though khan beats marquez I eat my car.

You know I would have a lot more patience for khan if he didn't talk about himself in the third person so much, give it the arrogent attitude and try and associate himself with names like mayweather and paquio.

  I would have so much more time for him if he didn't play himself with this never-say-die attitude he does so well in interviews, and when it comes to the fight, shows the heart of a slightly miffed hampster.

Khan is shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Its a moot point as you say but Khan would beat Hatton now mate.

Totally agree, Hatton's face has always been his defence and now he simply can't take a punch....a previously retired Lazcano had him troubled and some of Manny's shots weren't that hard, he even said himself that he was amazed at how easy Hatton was to floor!

Khan's speed and accuracy would leave Hatton's face in a right mess and I'd put money on a stoppage.

As far as I'm aware, Hatton hasn't officially retired yet but it looks like he has turned down a two fight finale with Morales and then Marquez so I guess it's imminent

okay you need to stop contridicting with yourself. First you say he stays away from the big boys and you mentioned Marquez. yet Khan challenged Marquez, lets not forget for his American Debut fight, which is a Big step. Instead Marquez refused and he got Paulie instead who also is a big step for the debut fight in the states.

Secondly you say Hatton didnt get a chance to fight the top dogs. Well I think hatton would beg to differ seen as he refused to fight whitter. He didnt think Whitter was on the same level.

I like, infact Love hatton to Bits but you are greatly mistaken if you believe he could beat Khan at this stage in his career.

You are entitled to your opinions on Khan but I do believe he needs to be given a chance like every other top boxer has.

And nothing would make me happier than to see him take that chance. But he won't do that- he's a pussy

I'm not a khan fan by any means but I think he deserves a break, It took hatton a while to step upto world class, and then he fell short of elite level, castillo and urango look good on his record, but the reality is they were shot by the time he got to them whilst urango and collazo, whilst decent operators are not world class and have been handled easier by other opponents since then, when they were arguably better fighters... also the 3rd person thing... hatton is incapable of talking about himself in any other way. Khan would destroy Hatton within a few rounds now, certainly wouldn't of in his prime, but now is a different story, personally cant see hatton coming back as i dont think he could make 140 anymore...

I don't like the way khan was moved a long, there were plenty of good domestic fights he managed to avoid, and i can understand why people dislike him. However give him a chance before you all jump on him, just because Malignaggi is feather fisted, it doesn't mean it's not a hard fight, and as someone mentioned they went after Marquez who declined the fight. Hopefuly Goldenboy wont protect him, unlike Warren they have many 'cash cows' at their disposal so i don't believe he will be as protected as he was under warren. i also dont think roach would be interested in training him for a bunch of worthless fights. Ortiz and Cambell are fighting in a few weeks and i assume the winner will be khans mandatory as maidana is fighting bradley, don't see how anyone could moan at that, unless khan decides to vacate the title or something... then after that a show down between him and bradley should be on the cards, then the winner can get a beat down by alexander...

couldn't have said it better myself^

Looks like this fight is definitely on ITV seeings as Sky snubbed it

Sound if its free on the TV! Must not grumble! lol

Its not a good sign if his first US fight against the best fighter hes met is not getting box office interest??

I certainly dont think its because Paulie is viewed as not being worthy..

does anybody know for certain which station this fight would be viewed on? I won't be complaining if it comes on ITV

Hi mate,
 
Its deffo on ITV from what I read.

apparently his PPV sales were crap in the past and sky will only take a Khan fight again if it's a real big name he's fighting....the parting with Sky is supposed to be amicable but it's 100% on ITV

it is itv, decided quite a while back

Excellent post.  Well balanced, well thought out and not inflammatory.  I only wish I had the writing skills you do.

Now that I'm done sucking your dick, to address your point: if Khan actually takes the fight (cambell after he wins) then all credit to him.  Bradley or Maidana would be a good opponent too.  But I expect the odds of Khan taking either one of them is absolute ZERO.  And as for him facing Alexander...

... HA HA HA! Not Bloody Likely!

TBH I used to get pissed of with PBF for ducking fighters and calling himself the best.  While I personally feel he is the best, I think he was acting like too much of a pussy for far too long (2006+) But he's taking on Shane so you can't say he's ducking.  And pacquio is blantently juicing.

I agree on past performances it seems unlikely that Khan will step up and face the top contenders/champions. However I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, I think leaving Warren shows he does have some ambition, he could of done what Calzaghe did and stayed in Europe fighting a bunch of mandatories for the majority of his career so we'll see what he does. Can't see how he'll avoid Ortiz v Campbell winner, the only way would be to vacate his title, but considering he's relatively unknown in the USA thats his meal ticket so I don't think he'll do that. I also think he'd be better of facing Bradley or Alexander and losing than he would be risking a fight against someone you would expect him to win or a less worthy contender (someone like Holt) only to get KO'd in the process.

Nice to see ITV pick this up, don't think the Mitchell fight is PPV either so that will be a great night of boxing, though I think Mitchell might lose. Just a shame Khan wont be on till 3am!

Nor can I.  But he will.  And as for the chances of him fighting alexander any time soon I wouldn't hold your breath.

To go back to the thread title, don't think theres much chance malignaggi ko's khan, not unless he pulls a holt (v torres), however i thought i'd point out that khan to be knocked down is 9/1, probably not a bad bet considering he's been down against light punchers before, not one for me but thought it might be of interest to those considering the ko.

The more i think about it the more i think khan wins this without much hassle, but we'll see in a few weeks i guess.
