Agree. I predict that within the next few years there will be a golden betting opportunity against Khan, some old warhorse who frank thought was shot and the bookies give 100/1 on rounds for that comes along and starches Khan.
overhand , let us put graham earl behind us, we can only hope...

Apparently, Morales is "un-retiring" and coming back in 2009. Would be a good name on Khan's record. Or could turn into his worst nightmare.

Puleeze...Khan has no chance with this guy, FW wont even consider it. Man v boy - Campbell is a bad ass and would torture Khan in there.
He got KO'd by Peden, but he hung his chin out for a free shot, like an idiot, and wont ever be doing that again, that's for sure.

Not yet anyway...
Cambell is a well seasoned Fighter....
In the Near Future maybe, but Khan is still on the Learning Curve

Campbell does look too dangerous. Also, the way he follows up bad showings with good ones, you just cannot assume that he's past it or ready to be taken at any point.

Campbell has been very up and down. I had him beating Casamayor. He hammered Kid Diamond and gave Juan Diaz a working over during the last 6 rds.
On the other hand, he was destroying Peden, but got stopped after giving him a free shot. And then lost the rematch, and looked like a shot fighter at one point.
Did he deserve to beat Hlatshwayo?

I don't think Khan is ready yet. Campbell would just have too much at this stage

I don't think Khan should fear anyone at the weight, he can take them all with focus......plenty of power, shown resilience and stamina of late.
I'd throw him in with any of them after a couple more fights.
