Amir Khan: Who Will He Fight Next?

Who's Amir Khan's next opponent?  If you check Khan's twitter, he says he will be making a decision soon and that the fighter won't be ranked as low as 33.  Floyd Mayweather has said that he wants Khan to fight Adrien Broner, but that doesn't seem very likely to happen so fast.  So, who do you think he'll be facing?  I've got some theories on who it will be.  So here it goes:

Luis Collazo - He just came off an impressive win against Victor Ortiz where he knocked him out pretty quick.  This got his name back into the boxing world.

Victor Ortiz - He lost to Collazo, but he is a former Mayweather opponent and can sometimes surprise folks like the time he beat Andre Berto.

Brandon Rios - Just came off a loss to Manny Pacquiáo.  It was a comeback fight for Pacman, so it garnered a whole bunch of press that Rios likely never experienced before.  It would be interesting to see this fight as Khan was formerly trained by Manny's trainer, Freddie Roach.  Could this fight possibly set up a fight between Khan and Pacquiáo?

Lucas Matthysse - Danny Garcia just beat him.  Garcia also beat Khan.  Lucas needs a comeback fight and he is a hard hitting knockout artist.  Khan's chin has been viewed by many as weak.  This could be an all out action fight if it were made.

There's my list.  I don't know who else he'd fight.  I hope it's not another no name guy or an older fighter coming up in weight.  Those fights tend to be boring when it comes to watching boxing.

Flashback: Anyone Remember The Mutant League Football Game?

What's up folks?  I decided to add an extra topic to the blog which is "Sports Video Games"  I know, I know, the Madden series is probably considered the best sports video game brand of all time.  When ever they release a new one, it's an event.  It's important to remember that those games at one point were on consoles like the Sega Genesis and had humble beginnings.  When I say humble, I mean they didn't have an exclusive NFL contract or whatever it is they have now.  The same company that does the Madden games had another football game.  It was called Mutant League Football.  Are there any readers that remember it?  I don't know where it took place, but the sports teams in the Mutant League games had a roster full of monsters and violent plays.  Some plays would involve a rigged football that exploded during a fake fumble.  Other plays involved  tackles that would dismember players if my memory serves correct.  Basically it felt like whoever played the dirtiest and was more tricky won.

Anyways if anyone out there has access to a Sega Genesis and likes football, look it up and see what I am talking about.  I wonder if the game has aged well.  I'll have to check out some videos on youtube or something to dig up the nostalgia.  I think the Mutant League games had one other sport video game title to it's name, but I'll leave that one for another post.

Marcos Maidana To Fight Floyd Mayweather! Amir Khan Gonna Fight Adrien Broner?

Marcos Maidana appears to have landed the fight that he wanted after defeating Broner.  Personally, I think Marcos Maidana has the power to hurt Floyd a little bit, but I don't see him pulling out a win.  I don't see him being able to stop Mayweather, not unless age has finally caught up with him.  I see Floyd trying to avoid his power all night and just pot shotting Maidana.  Towards the middle to later rounds depending on how worn out Maidana is, I see Floyd going for the knockout.

Amir Khan has recently taken to twitter to discuss his frustration with not being able to fight Floyd.  He's now calling out Broner and hoping for a fight with him on the undercard.  Khan convincingly beat Maidana a few years ago and almost knocked him out within the first round of their fight with a body shot.  So, it looks like Khan thinks "Amir Khan > Maidana > Broner."  It's hard not to agree with him, but Floyd Money Mayweather made the right financial choice with this fight.  Everyone wants to see Maidana vs. Mayweather at the moment.  It should be more interesting than the Canelo fight I believe.

The Winter Olympics in Sochi... Is Making Me Sleepy.

Long time no write.  Anyways I haven't been keeping up with the Winter Olympics.  In the beginning it was semi interesting.  I was hearing tales of wolves roaming the halls,  Olympians being locked in their crappy hotels,  cameras invading privacy, and all sorts of stuff that make me glad I'm not in Russia.  Overall though, i haven't heard anything interesting.  Well, that's not true.  That one hockey match against Russia was supposedly awesome.  It sure sounded it anyways.  In the end Canada got the gold.  What can you do?  That's their sport.  I guess they deserve it.  Any of you keeping up with figure skating? I heard someone didn't agree with their judging and it became a little internet meme of it's own.

Well, that's about all I have to offer on this whole Sochi Olympics thing.  On the bright side, its making me look forward to the summer Olympics.  You just can't top the running and the pole vaulting in my eyes.

NFL: Tim Tebow For The Eagles Anybody?

With all the rumors about Tim Tebow being released from the Jets and how he probably won't get to play for his hometown of Jacksonville, does anyone think he should go to the Eagles?  They are in need of serious restructuring and it will probably get fans talking about the team again now that Andy Reid is gone.
