Juan Diaz vs Amir Khan

[googler]

Now that JUAN Diaz has lost to 2 old school fighters, and amir khan has lost to breidis prescott and there is a strong chance he will lose to MAB, i think this fight would be a good one for both men, who do you think wins, how and why?

[trotter]

I think Diaz would bring WAY to much heat for Khan right now.

Even JMM had to fight his way through a blizzard of punches for a few rounds last night.

Diaz is not a huge puncher but you don't need to be to trouble Amir, we've seen that.

[iceman]

Diaz ko 3 - JMM was rocked early with punches that would ko khan

[Beeston Brawler]

Diaz KO2

[JIM KELLY]

Khan has fast hands, quick counters, but his chin is the let down. I like to see him khan stay with roach for a while, then we will get to see the best of khan.

Im very excited for the barrera fight!

[Pug1list]

Not ready for the likes of Diaz at the moment

[Bonavena25]

Diaz would leave him in a crumpled heap inside a few rounds.

[GPater11093]

diaz would come out fast and smother amirs skills. diaz isnt a big puncher but Khans chin is glass so eventually diaz would KO him in the 1st 3 rounds

[faisal]

who knows how much juan has left after last night it was a hurtful KO, if hes still game he'll win in 2 those left hooks of his are all wrong for khan

[Darni187]

Right we have to see how Khan does vs Barrera, then we can say when and how.

Diaz is a up close pressure fighter with great workrate, but lucks a good jab and throws too many hooks, he likes to get fighters on to the ropes then unload on them. Also he lacks real K.O power. Khan would have to keep away from the ropes and try keeping Diaz at range with is long range jab and use his hight ad and speed.

Khan I dont think is ready for Diaz yet, he still only 22, Degale is even older than Khan.


But for a 22 old guy fight someone like Marco A Barrera is a feat for now anyway.

[JIM KELLY]

Khan has been out of the lime light as of late, good stuff and about time, just concentrate on boxing!

[noonan]

im a fan of khan and think he needs a few more years yet, but last night put it into perspective for me that khan is miles behind both jmm and diaz!!

[achillesthegreat]

At present Khan isn't in the same stratosphere. Diaz is an elite fighter who mixes it with the best fight after fight. Khan has barely mixed it with the best of Britain, gone life and death and was ko'd by the first fighter he fought with a decent ko record. Let's see how much Khan has improved v MAB. If he beats MAB then Diaz is a real possibility.

[nulty]

It would be man against boy.

[SouthpawSlayer]

brutal ko, however the barrera fight will tell us much more on where khan actually is

[jc]

Diaz is in a different class to Khan.

Diaz TKO 2

Kahn's nowhere near ready for the likes of diaz. i don't think he's even ready for berrera. and think the fight is a bad choice. remember, berrera pretty much finished hamed's career and naz was far more talented than kahn, admittedly MAB has slipped a fair bit since then but personally i still feel he'll be more than kahn can handle. so to talk about him stepping in with guys like juan diaz after watching how well he did against jmm for the 1st four rounds or so last night, forget it, kahn's not in the same league. i'd like to see him face and beat a few of the top domestic fighters first (which ive believed from the start) guys like jono thaxton or john murray before he starts talking about title shots. the fight with jono should have been made when jono was british champ and kahn the commonwealth champ as it was a natural, but in boxing we seldom get what we want.

I think the key here is the Barrera fight, after seeing that we will all be able to gauge (hopefully) Khan's qualities. No doubt he has improved under Dr Roach, and we will get to see what happens. There was only so much we learnt from the Fagan bout. Barrera WILL provide a test and win or lose we wil learn much about Khan's abilities. Only after this will be able to decide who would provide a good match up for Khan in the near future. As it stands Id say a fight with Diaz in one for the future ie next year minimum, Diaz is wayy too live and active and will pressure Khan more than he has ever seen and simply KO him.

[kerrminator]

Diaz would destroy Khan. Khan is nowhere near that level and I really doubt he ever will be

[D-MAC]

diaz would come out fast and smother amirs skills. diaz isnt a big puncher but Khans chin is glass so eventually diaz would KO him in the 1st 3 rounds

Agree:good

If Diaz can smother Marquez' skills for the first few rounds, imagine what he would do against Khan.

And if Diaz lands on Khan like he did on Marquez in the second round then it is most defintely lights out time for Amir.

Diaz KO.

[TFFP]

What is the point of this?

Amir Khan could not deal convincingly with the pressure Michael Gomez brought to the table.

[Rebel-INS]

Diaz in a round. If Khan was jumped on like JMM was last night he'd be fucked.

[£4£]

Diaz KO inside of 5!

[faisal1203]

Im a big fan of Khan but right now Diaz would KO him inside the first for rounds.. Diaz hit marquez with some pretty big punches last night whick would KO Khan.. However, wait and see Khan in the Barrera fight and if he looks good and his defence has improved the maybe in 2-3 fights Diaz is a possibility...

[kerrminator]

Unfortunately for Khan Diaz is only a couple of years older than him so he aint going anywhere soon.

[Fat Joe]

Diaz in a round. If Khan was jumped on like JMM was last night he'd be fucked.

:deal

[phonk]

Why is this even being discussed??

Diaz would knock Khan to fuck out.

[abzmanc]

What is the point of this?

Amir Khan could not deal convincingly with the pressure Michael Gomez brought to the table.

Khan destroyed Gomez, after Gomez's final stand, turned him into a punch bag.

However Diaz will KO Khan early on.
