    Looking at the broader picture if Khan does win the WBO belt, I feel he will fight better fighters, Roach believes in Khan and i dont think he would let him fight bums.

    He might even want Khan to move up weight, due to Khan's weight problem, this could even be having a effect on his chin.

    This has nothing to do with with what Roach will "let him" do. Warren will be calling the shots as long as he's Khan's promoter. Where is the precedent to suggest otherwise?

    Time will tell, I dont think Khan will go down Joe.C or Hatton route, Khan's in to much spotlight to fight bums for 10 years.

    I think that's a bit naive. If anything due to Khan's dodgy whiskers, Warren will want to keep him on the belt as long as possible earning as much money as possible, should he win it. Even then the chances of him losing to one of those bums is high. Almost everyone has a punchers chance against Amir.

    This fight with Barrera will tell us alot about Khan, If MAB can test his chin with good shots and Khan comes though can win, it can show us his chin can take some shots. I mean if his chin is that bad he will be soon found out again. I think his weight is a problem, Khan looks weight drained and this could be having a effect on his chin.

    We already know he has a bad chin. If he can take some Barrera shots that would tell us more about Barrera's shots than Khan's chin.

    Well if he wants to become a great fighter he has to learn and protect the weak chin and Roach can help him do that. Otherwise if he loses again in his next few fights, The Khan Story is over.

    Do you post in threads that are not about Khan?

    Will you consider Khan a real world champion if he wins the vacant WBO strap?

    No, but if he wins it and then defends it vs top 15 fighters then yeah.

    I know its a joke, some of them names in there are a joke, even Khan at 9 is a joke.

    What the WBO should do is the winners of MAB-Khan, JMM-J.Diaz should fight for the title. But this would never happen.

    The fact of the matter is this is happened by pure luck, Khan and Barrera was for no title, Warren is just trying to cash in on Nate's vacant titles, do you blame him?

    Maybe afterwards Khan could unify with the WBU champion and then fight the IBO champion for the undisputed Mickey Mouse title.
