    what weight do you think he should be .

    and at that weight how far do you see him going, brilliant technically but it seems he has not got the power, probably to do with the weight though!

    i think if he knuckles down he should go all the way, i think he'd be better at 140, but its not that essential, didnt he weigh in on the welterweight limit for his fight against lomax? he looked alright there, its more a case of why he's been unable to make light-welter, if he dedicates himself he can do it, and that dedication shows in his performances

    Talented but needs to put in the graft. Recently he has me thinking he wont be world class, but he has the ability.

    He has the talent to get to the top, if he works hard he will get to the top if he can't be botherd he'll flop

    He's good but not as good as some people make him out to be.

    I think he will go all the way to a world title shot.He might not win it but I think he will at least earn a crack at one.

    World title shot. Has the ability to pick up a belt but I'm not sold on that happening.

    but what does he really have.

    a big punch? no.

    exceptional boxing skills? decent skills, but nothing exceptional.

    he should be owning a guy like woodhouse.

    if he's world class.

    imagine what khan would do to woodhouse. :blood

    khan gets better sparring at the wildcard than a solid tryer like woodhouse.

    Khan never looked sensational coming through the ranks did he? Wobbled by limmond went life an death with a shot Gomez after them nobody thought he was goin to go on and perform the way he has!
    And Frankie isn't the biggest puncher but his skill is exceptional!

    But Khan barely lost a round to any of them guys coming up. Frankie barely got past Curtis Woodhouse, an english level fighter, his skill cant be that exceptional can it? if so he would have shut him out.
