Amir Khan v David Diaz

[sweetscience]

i actually cant think of a lightweight who he could be matched with that wouldnt get critisized

some people would actually find fault in JMM

i dont think this match will come offto be honest but if it does then some people needto remove there heads from there arseholes

Well Said!!!!

Although listening to some of the Khan haters / hatton haters etc on here I think those heads are cemented up there.

[deadpan]

Idiots? You've missed a letter from your surname David.

No David Diaz does not have a big punch, do you know anything about him? And I said top 15 WITH a punch, Diaz is defiantly top 15, but he doesn't have power. He is a fighter who plays right into Khans strengths/weaknesses. Why do you think reluctant Warren is discussing him as an opponent?

Yes he does, have you even seen more than 1 of his fights?

[coneye]

Cmon you've got too admit IF and thats IF this fight was too happen its a big step in the right direction and IF he performs well i don't even mean win , just perform well and lose by a close discision , then you would have too admit he's getting up there and he has time to reach the top.

Personaly i would love to see Khan --- Kasidas can't see it happening though Mick would probably walk through the pitter patter and knock him out But if he could'nt that would be one hell off a edge off your seat fight. Because personally i think there on the same level . in a strange way .

Kasidas is tough , brutal and hits hard , but skills are minimal , Khan has speed and skills and don't hit hard, I think at this stage without Warren lining up the titles he wants Khan would be like Kasidas always destined to be the bridesmaid.

let say this fight does go ahead. after khan wins this fight .Who next for him? Katidis would be a bloody mascure along with Juan diaz and JMM.

[terminator]

Tough fight for Khan if it does happen !
David Diaz is not a smaller opponent and he does have a punch on him.
I love how ppl are coming out with the excuses already

[Shirow]

Is this going to be on the Staples Center card?

[Wrists]

Anyone who thinks that David Diaz is a bad fight for a guy who 2 fights ago was sparked in 1 round is a complete and utter muppet.

The same muppets probably who are complaining that Hatton is fighting Pac.

F U C K me what do people want. Khan has had approx 20 fights is probably about top 20 in the lightweights and in Diaz would be fighting a top 12 or so fighter who would provide a good yardstick as to where we are at with Khan.

Good fight - anyone who thinks otherwise is either daft or just does not ever want to give Amir any credit.

Said it before and will say it again, sometimes its hard to be proud being British on here listening to some of you lot

Great fight, and an easy one for Khan.

Diaz is slow, who knows what the Pacquiao beating has done, fairly one dimensional, and will be bamboozled by the speed of Khan. With Roach there of course he knows how to completely destroy Diaz. It was Pacquiao's destruction of Diaz, more so than his performance against a old/weight drained DLH why I am so concerned for Ricky.

Easier fight to call than a Barrera rematch IMO, but one that I hope will get the critics of their back. They wanted a live true Lightweight with world class pedigree - if this is true, they have one.

Taking an easy one as you call it will never get the critics off his back. Hell thats one more reason to criticize

If Khan wins this more people will see him for what is, a very talented fighter who can beat carefully picked world level guys, but will fold against any top 15 with a big punch.

Thats because Khan offensively is up there with anyone. I think the elite will make Diaz look silly, as Pacquiao did, and ofeensively I think Khan is an elite fighter.

I agree, offensively Khan is right up there with the best in boxing, and that's why he will be a world champion imo. Excellent hand speed, good power, solid technique that is improving, puts his punches together well, etc. His chin is the only issue.

I think he will win a world title or two before he is done, I just cant ever see him being a dominate champion because I think he will get caught.
