Joel Casamayor vs Amir Khan close to being made

Casa looked bad in his "comeback" fight, he barely squeaked out the decision. Easy pay day for Khan, my guess is that he'll maybe get one of the other "Big 4" next year, take a fight against Kat or Murray in the late fall/winter.

Casa is just a keep busy fight, he'll be facing Maidana in the fall on HBO BAD.

I watched Murray's last fight and I wasn't blown away, he'd be better facing Mitchell.

i really think that making 135lb is becoming a bigger and bigger problem for Murray as each fight passes. Hennessy has done an absolutely disgraceful job of promoting his fighters, i can't see why anybody has signed with him. I think a Murray Katsidis fight is being discussed and this would work good for Murray as a win over Katsidis would catault him to big fights around 140lb. It would also be a toe to toe war, Murray is a much better fighter than Mitchell, just promoted by the Muffin Man so he don't get his shots

Well this is disappointing. Can't blame Khan but why have they gotten Casamayor? Get someone whos a threat at least. Well I guess Casamayor's got a puncher's chance but thats about it at this stage.

Can't knock on Khan for this guys, they wanted Katsidis, but he demands more money than Casa. I am okay with this as long as the next fight is against a top 140 lber. Maidana, Bradley or Alexander would work.

katsidis. Pick on a smaller guy who fights at 135 when you are rather big for 140.

He's not that big, it was only three fights ago that Khan was a Lightweight. Katsidis was offered the fight but demanded more money.

So now looks like its down to Murray or Katsidis?
