Amir Khan

TAM83 · 08-23-2007, 05:22 PM

Don't know if that's who I'd choose but I reckon Amir should be up their.

To win the Commonwealth title so quickly and so young would be outstanding in anyone elses book.

BigEars · 08-23-2007, 05:24 PM

Well two points I'd like to make , one is that Kevin Anderson is 24 now and far too established for a young boxer of the year award and two that Khan does deserve to be on that list[shudder

] .

I went with John Fewkes , he's looked quality to me and has just got 3 very good wins Scott Haywood , Craig Watson and Tontcho Tontchev .

Khan, whether you like him or not he deserves it.

achillesthegreat · 08-24-2007, 03:10 AM

I say Khan. I don't want to vote for anyone on that list.

Not sure Anderson belongs there.

nah fwkes is a good boxer but he is so inactivein his offence he will get stopped at domestic watson had him all over the ring in the last round and was so worried of losing so he went to the ref as quick as possible when it finished

Fewkes has had a good year and has been steadily improving. He is not in a position to contend with the top domestic fighters but by this time next year if he his moved on with more faded pro's of Tontchev class then he may be something special on these shores. I pick him for young fighter due the the promise he has shown and the fact that I dont like Derry too much and Amir is in a different league to anyone on the list.

NOrth · 08-24-2007, 10:43 AM

Fewkes for me, the best year imo.

"dirty derry" - explain how, one close points win all year in a fight he should have been DQ'd in.

To PrideOfWales, what are your reasons for not including Khan?
