    He looked pretty good last night and probably gives almost anyone at WW a tough fight unless/until they land something big on his chin.

    I like Khan's chances against a lot of guys if he sticks to a game plan. I think he's finally realized what his true strengths are and what he needs to improve and avoid during the fight. I think this is a major step in his career. In a young athlete, you always see issues of inefficiency, not understanding one's strengths, etc. I think Khan has finally matured into a smarter fighter. His physical gifts cannot be denied.

    I think 147 is the best weight for him

    Virgil taught Khan how to hold now to protect his glass chin. Similar to how Stewart taught Wlad to hold.

    Hey....understanding your weaknesses and strengths is part of being a great athlete. You never saw Shaquille O'Neal out on the perimeter chucking up 3 point shots. You never saw Mike Tyson trying to dance like Ali.

    Can people shut the **** up already regarding this Amir Khan fellow? Dude has 3 losses on his record and two of those are by Ko. Just because he's from the UK and arabic doesn't mean that he's any good.
