General Boxing Chit Chat

I ain't going to lie I think Garcia is a tough nut. And think he will probably beat khan again, khan should fight Prescott before either Judah or Garcia

Spligsey

Prescott is yesterdays news - really cannot see the point of that fight at all
There was some noise a little while ago about Khan V Matthysse - which i wouldn't recommend Amir doing
I think it's unfair to say Garcia got "lucky" against Khan - he didn't, he picked his punch & wallop.
One good thing for Khan is that he is extremely marketable in the US & he is usually involved in entertaining fights.
Just wish he would keep his trap shut a bit more, but, let's be honest, he's not the only boxer that i would wish that upon!

Yeah, should have perhaps picked my words better there, what I meant was I think Khan could and should have beaten Garcia, but his shortcomings had been exposed by Peterson(who he also should have beaten) and it was more Khans stupidity and trying to be the macho that he isn't that got the better of him.

Really who has Garcia beaten of note, twice an old and way past it Morales and Khan but I think the Khan win made him look far better than he actually is(IMO and from what I've seen of him, time might make me change my mind). There would be far more dangerous opponents at Welterweight.

Khan basically needs to avoid power punchers where he can, and if they're gifted with great timing(something that I accept is fair to be said about Garcia, he was on the button there) then even more so. Personally I don't think he'd have a chance moving up to Welterweight, such a packed division that one and would be difficult to separate the safe fights from the very dangerous ones.

Agree that a rematch with Prescott would be too big a step back, even if Prescott did get a bad decision against McCloskey. Maidana II would be a far more mouth watering prospect, but I'm not even sure if he's still in the mix now?

According to the tabloids : Khan v Ortiz possible April?

DrWise

Ortiz would be a good fight, until Ortiz starts thinking he can't take khan out and than quits on
The stool like he has done in a few fights!!!!

Tetlee

Yep, ^this. If Ortiz remains switched on for the entire fight I think this would be an extremely dangerous fight for Khan's next outing. Will be very surprised if he takes it to be honest and if he does then I'll have to give him some respect for that.

Carl Froch confident of avenging Mikkel Kessler defeat in spring as talks advance | Sky Sports

Hope this happens in May/June next year, I'll be all over that and London would be about the easiest for me too(Nottingham's ok but a bit more of a trek).

Froch v Kessler II should be an awsome fight, both are looking at their best at the moment IMO and neither would want to give an inch. Best fight out their for Froch, no doubt!

....oh dear, DeGale thinks he can beat Froch, and Khan defending him saying people will criticize him for being cocky but he's being confident and that's a good thing.

I would say he's being delusional which is exactly the same problem Khan himself suffers with at times(thinking he can beat Mayweather) and is his own worst enemy by being that way.

The way DeGale likes to lean on the ropes for half his fights lately, you can imagine how Froch would tuck in, he'd rip him to pieces. In a way I'd like to see it happen if only to shut that prat up once and for all.
