Yeah but they Khan just give him an easy fight inbetween.

He might outspeed him but never outbox him.

Dunno Mick BJS is pretty overrated. I am a Khan hater but I can genuinely see him giving BJS all sorts of problems.

It was a joke fight and was only ever ending one way.

bit like Mayweather/McGregor...

Not quite as bad as that circus

Crap fight, can't see this happening. BJS needs better than this.

FW paying out to make sure the very dull BJS finally gets a knockout on his record.

good fight

50/50 in my book

welter vs light middle (BJS is very small middle)

I will watch it.

Typical Khan scenario ... quick for the first few rounds then he will get caught.

But ... I think Khan hangs to the final bell to lose the fight by 3 or 4 rounds

I think it will pan out pretty even considering the amount of rust Khan has. If you think how long he has been out of the ring, this is a warm up fight for him
And what a warm up fight, to go for a belt!

Khan was also too quick for every other boxer that chinned him.

What is Khan playing at....he's just playing about now at a sport you cannot play about in. He is way too small for middle...he said so I'm the ggg vs Canelo build up

He never once called out BJS.. nor have I seen him try getting this fight made

So why fight him then? He didn't call out Canelo either.

Personally I quite like this fight. Saunders is desperate for a name and it's a winnable title fight for Khan. Works for both really.

Plus Khan, for all his faults, is usually in good fights. Saunders needs a fight which isn't going to be the boxing version of a 0-0 draw with no shots on goal after the car crash that was his last effort.

will W@rren make this a PPV?

It's a bit sad how things have turned out for Khan if true. He clearly would prefer not compete at his own weight as he doesn't think he is good enough anymore but seems happy to get knocked out by bigger guys to the highest bidder. He needs to be careful he doesn't get himself hurt badly playing this game.

bigB wrote:Why would you go for BJS over Brook though. Doesn't make nowhere as much money.

Because he dislikes Brook that much, he doesn't want to give him the payday, even if he loses out on a big one himself. That's my take on it.

I'd imagine so. How else would Warren generate the revenue needed to satisfy both parties to make the fight happen?

Disgraceful fight that would actually fit in perfectly with bjs title reign. I dont see how the wbo could ever sanction this. He should fight Lemieux or martin murray. Murray v BJS with flanagan also defending his title would sell out the MEN

Who said he's fighting him? I don't believe it til I see some proof that they are even negotiating

How would Saunders make a catchweight?

wesshaw1985 wrote:will W@rren make this a PPV?

He would have to find a different outlet than YouTube, because they are ending the open PPV setup by October.

Hope the reigning bodies get a grip on this shite , He's not Canelo or GGG and run out of opponents , theres still Jacobs , Murray , Lenieux

Sorry, Martin Murray? What's he done to deserve another world title shot? Two of his last three fights have been at super-middleweight.

They're trying to make Flanagan - Ray Beltran for December.

I always thought that he was small at Middle as well, but he's recently spoke about heading north not south in the weights. Reckons its just a matter of time.

I always figured that he made 160 not looking in very good nick, so if he got his nutrition right, light middle would be his natural weight.
