Khan v Romanov?

[D-MAC]

Is Khan ready for the Belarussian at this point in time?

More importantly, would his "team" risk such a fight, or instead feed someone like Thaxton or Rees to him.

God forbid we should have another one like Kristansen (spelling). Despite the flowery record, that guy had lost and drawn against the fossil that is Stefano Zoff, couldn't punch for shit, had only fought once in 17 months, and that had been a split decision win over a Romanian journeyman with a 13-12-2 record.

So the options for Khan's next fight are (a) Romanov (b) Thaxton/Rees (c) a decent Lightweight with a ko rate of over 50% (d) "another BUM"

Anybody decent who has minimum 50% stoppages, I'm happy.

Good idea:good I will edit accordingly. Although I will stipulate that the boxer also has to be a natural Lightweight.

(a) Romanov

- too much of a risk

(b) Thaxton/Rees

- Thaxton Mandatory for Commonwealth but Khan is vacating Title

- Rees blew his chance when he lost his Title to Kotelnik

(c) A decent Lightweight with a KO ratio of over 50%

- really needs to happen as its all getting too predictable

(d) Another "bum"

- wouldn't be at all surprised

[brown bomber]

Edwin Valero.

Does he meet the 50% KO criteria :yep

[D-MAC]

- Rees blew his chance when he lost his Title to Kotelnik (elle)


Maybe I'm being cynical, but I think he would have blew his chance had he have won against Kotelnik, and looked good doing it. Khan's people might have ran a mile.

Welcome to the brit forum D-MAC.

I see your point and don't disagree. :good

Could have been a possibility if Rees had just scraped through against Kotelnik and retained his World Title. Lets face it, thats what Khan was after - not so much Rees name on his record!

[dwilson]

I think he will fight an American from catagory (d).

Stefano Zoff would be a step up in class.

[Cobbler]

Khan v Romanov doesn't look particularly attractive for either right now.

Risk v reward and all that.

Yeah, but this way John Rawlings could say "this is no mug in here with Khan. This guy is a former World Champion", and knowing the rest of the tubes on ITV they'll make it sound like he's in there with Floyd Mayweather.

Actually Thaxton and Rees would both be interesting, and definitely closer to what the public wants to see.

I have to admit, I never heard of most of his opponents until he fought them.

[DON1]

****** wont let his little bitch in their with the class of Romanov. Khan is talented but this is a level too far.

there is something i cant understand why was he ranked number 2 contender in the wbo ranking?

please somebody explain

please somebody explain Surely FW couldn't have used his persuasive powers for them to elevate this average fighter into a good position so that Khan could knock him off.... That type of stuff doesn't happen does it?

what is it with frank ****** and the wbo?

[Beeston Brawler]

Khan won't fight Romanov for one simple reason.

He can punch.

As for Sports Network and the WBO, God only knows. To be honest, I think the IBO title carries more prestige - the WBO mandatory challengers are just a fucking joke!

If it wasn't for Chris Eubank and Oscar De La Hoya, the WBO would be in the same class as WBU, IBC and WBF, so they are to blame!

Khan is WBO #2 FW connection explains that.
How do you explain Amir at WBC #4?

[hitman_hatton1]

romanov would be just the sort of test that amir needs.

i'm sure ****** will deem it as too dangerous though. :roll:

[LeadLeftHook]

Khan vs Romanov could be a big fight down the road. Why ruin it now?

[Claypole]

please somebody explainHe's back down to 10th now in the WBO rankings. That's one place higher than Romanov. Seeing as Kristjansen is better than Romanov, there is clearly no point in Amir fighting him.

The story died out, but I have not got round to changing the avatar.

The rankings are a joke.

Having seen Romanov v Thaxton at the York hall no way is Kristjansen better.

Romanov keeps being linked with Khan but I would be amazed if it was his next fight.

That explains why I didn't spot you at the Thaxton fight - I was looking for the "guy" in your avatar! :lol:

To be honest I don't pay much attention to avatars on here. I just stick my pics on Facebook - took some smashing ones at the York Hall. :good

Why do you assume that?

[Akxtinguish]

The WBO rankings and the FIFA rankings are probably made by the same person.
