pps word is Bute is gonna have a rematch with Librado­ Andrade on the FMJ bill in September,so no Froch for­ now

p.s did you see the Ortiz v Maidana fight? lost count­ of the 8 counts . . fantastic stuff and the light­ welters just got even better with the emergence of­ Maidana he would give anyone in that division­ nightmares for the first 5 rounds

exentertainer,I also think Arthur Abraham would be a­ great fight for Froch,he's looking increasingly­ unable to make 11' 6 and will move up to the 12­ stoners soon enough.He's got a good rep in Europe­ and fades towards the last 1/4 of a fight which would­ be tailor made for Froch's relentless approach,also­ he's not a concussive puncher which would­ compliment Froch's defensive shortcomings.Kessler­ is Mr Avoided at the moment,apparently Hopkins turned­ down a $4 million purse to fight him recently.

Firstlt on Bute, he is ranked 2nd with the ring. Nt too­ bad? And he is defiently not 'no danger'. Thats­ ur opninion but he is a class act. Just because he­ doesnt come out of France to fight in America doesnt­ mean he's rubbish.

On Khan, Khan HAS tried to get­ the Murray and Thaxton fight on more than once but when­ he goes to make a deal they price themselves out so­ they are constantly using his name for publicity and­ not having to get beat off him. Lets be serious Thaxton­ lost at his european title shot. Khan would mow him­ down like a bag of rotten spuds, same with that­ misserable git murray.

murray and thaxton have tried to get a fight with khan­ the baloon but always managed to avoid them when the­ time comes for khan to fight the real boxers it is all­ over for him.thats why he always fights idiots that­ will go on for a while.

ranked 2? he's IBF champ!

Bute has fought no one, how can beating him give Froch­ credit, its a nice option for Carl to unify as the guy­ is no danger at all, where is the fight? Bute has­ fought his last 13 fights in the same town!

I think this Bute fella is really under rated, well,­ hes not technically, think hes ranked 2nd, but he's­ pretty much unheard off. Which is why Froch would not­ gain alot by beating him. I'd love to see Froch­ fight Hopkins. I know everyone says Pavlik had a cold­ etc , but why is he not screaming for a rematch. There­ is not one up-comer out there today that will fight­ Hopkins now, which is why he will have to retire. Its­ the same with Mosley.

On Khan, I doubt old Thanxton­ would even land a shot on him. Khan would be all over­ him and Thax wouldnt know what hit him. Murray has had­ 26 fights and still fighting british rnked 7 fighters,­ speaks for itself, has done nothing to warrent a fight­ with Khan. I dont see why people think this fool will­ beat Khan. Has no-one seen the way Khan boxes when­ he's on top of his game. From the 1st bell Barrera­ didnt have a chance. He could beat Murray tonight if he­ wanted but why give the gobby little runt a­ payday?

Khan had won silver at olympics at 17, fought­ Kindelan, fought the biggest puncher out there knowing­ he had a suspect chin, fought barrera, fighting soon­ for a world title. Murray has just lost his british­ title due to lack of professionalism. Tell me, someone,­ how this fella deserves to fight Khan?

I agree about Froch needing a fight and Clinton Woods­ isn't a bad thought at all. Never thought of it and­ can see Woods being blasted out in 12 rounds. yes, a­ very good suggestion. But has anyone heard if this Bute­ fight is happening at all? Bute has KO'd 19 out of­ 23 opponents so he is a dangerous prospect. Thaxton­ could beat Khan because of his heavy fists and strong­ chin. It's almost similar to why I see Froch­ beating Calzaghe if they ever fought. Which won't­ happen. It's the heavy hands and desire to not stop­ fighting that makes them winners over theor opponents.­ Except Froch IS World Class where as Thaxton is­ European Level. It's the old,strong punch and chin­ v blurring hand-speed, question

sirstevejones you never fail to revolt,please go and­ boil your head this instant.

Hi exentertainer,yeah I think Murray could give Khan a­ difficult night but as much as I respect Thaxton's­ heart and tenacity I think Khan would take him to­ school,again,as long as he keeps his chin tucked­ in,Thaxton is deceptively heavyhanded but I could only­ honestly give him a puncher's chance.I've said­ before I don't think Froch is ready for Kessler,ok­ he starched Taylor but only after having being given a­ boxing lesson off him for 12 rounds.Think an ideal­ fight would be Clinton Woods at catch weight,could see­ their styles suiting each other and styles make­ fights,wouldn't hurt Froch to have 1-2 low profile­ fights like Woods without his belt on the line,he needs­ to ship a few to the point where he realises he has to­ have some defence before he gets in with the Kesslers­ of this world.

I'd like to see him fight Kevin Mitchel...that­ would be an awesome fight. Although a good fighter,­ Bradley brings nothing to the table (big risk, smalll­ reward).

I dont mean he would move up now and not that he ever­ will atall im just saying he could. Alot of boxers say­ they wont box in their 30's but they always do.­ BHOP promised his mum on her deathbed he's stop­ years ago. I really cant see Khan retiring at 27, no­ way. I want to see him fight bradley.

I heard Khan say that he doesnt plan to defend the­ title but move back down to lightweight. Remember the­ no 1 contender for the WBA title is the guy who beat­ Ortiz and I don't think Khan wants anything to do­ with him. There are no big names in the light­ middleweight division so there's no point moving up­ there (personally I dont hink he'll be big enough,­ alos he doesant plan to box into his 30s).

I cant see Khan ever fight FMJ. I think he'll beat­ Kotlenik, make a couple of defences, then REMATCH­ PRESCOTT, them maybe, MARQUEZ, then Pacman, then move­ up to welterweight and he could even go up to light­ middle if he wanted, remember he's 5'10.­ Xenterteainer, just to let you know, he has come on a­ lot under roache. He doesnt stand and trade he gets in­ and out, totally different fighter. But I cant see him­ ever fighting Mayweather.

Xentertainer, I see what you are saying about the 60 40­ split, if I was Pacquiao I would demand at minimum 50­ 50, he is after all the current p4p no.1 so why should­ mayweather call the shots, he only has himsefl to blame­ for his money problems!
I have watched all of Khans­ fights and he really does look so much better under­ roach, he is a boxer now and not just a bully like he­ used to be.
He will beat Kotelnik but I still doent see­ how he would have anywhere near the credibility he­ would need to get a fight with FMJ. Mayweather only has­ a few fightrs left before he retires again so why would­ he waste one of those on Khan when he could fight­ Pacquiao, Cotto, Mosely, etc etc

Thanks for the people who think I talk sense. I do try­ to stick to boxing matters with my postings so thanks­ for the comments. I have to confess, I haven't seen­ Khan fight since SKY Box Office bought his fights so­ against Barrera, Prescott and Kotelnik, I cannot say­ whether he has really improved. I imagine, under­ Roach's guidance he has come on a long way. But in­ response to Mayweather not wanting Khan...he may well­ want Pacquiao and could have the fight at the drop of a­ hat BUT..Pacquiao won't want a 60-40 split that FMJ­ is wanting. Khan would take the fight on. But­ Khan's chin will always be questionable as you­ cannot improve punch durability. You're either born­ with it or not. Hatton might want Khan but I think­ he's really lost his hunger. But if Hatton does­ fight, it will be his last. If Khan wins, FMJ is next.­ Perhaps.

Stevejones, what is Michael Jackson got to do with in­ this boxing column?? Besides, have you got any­ evidence to back it up with what you are claiming??? ­ Why is it one cannot be civil to another person even in­ death??? I wonder what people might say about you and­ your good character after you depart this world to the­ next??
Please, stick to Boxing if you have got anything­ worth to comment on.

khan will always fight nobodys because frank warren­ knows he will get destroyed fighting the good ones so­ he will keep fighting idiots and making warren money­ just like he did with naz.
