    Khan is a quality fighter . My only concern is bloody Frank Warren taking him down the path of least resistance, his chin did hold up againt Kotlenick ( admittedly not a big hitter ) and as someone pointed out his defnce is much improved. He really can be a big deal for the UK so long as Warren lets him off the leash !
     
  2. Baha this thread makes me laugh, irrational haters. Khan is on his way to the top. His potential is ****ing amazing.

    The Prescott KO was a huge hit mate, I don't care if he had a reputation as a puncher or not. That hit was tremendous and if roach says the fundamentals have been corrected and sticks with the team and wild card then I only see huge future set for him.

    I think Warren and Khan could be coming to an end real soon, as Warren is not to keen about Khan fighting in the U.S and Khan really wanting to make his U.S debut after Salita.

    Well, I think it's obvious that Pac is that once-in-a-lifetime type of guy who can only be imitated, never duplicated. But like some other posters in this thread have stated, I say "who knows?". Maybe he can go on to have a legit career and fight and win against the best.

    I'm really curious to see his fight against Salita. See where he's at and how much he's progressed.

    After the Pacman show, iam getting the feeling Khan is going to blast Salita inside 5 fast hand speed blazing rounds.

    I think its for the best bro

    The sparring etc is better out in the US anyway. Let Khan at a Bradley or Alexander and the like and if worst comes to worst and he loses , so **** , he's still a kid he can come back again.

    As ( I think you and I discussed before ) Khan is the same height as me and I walk around at a reasonably trim 12.1/2 stone , how the **** Khan was getting down to lw I'll never know, ok his chin may never be concrete but with his reflexes and speed and now he has stopped running chin first into punches I dont think there is anything to fear !

    Get in about these guys !!!!

    Roach real prospect is Rigondeaux. Now that is talent.

    Khan will do well, I think his chin will improve with maturity.

    Yep moving to 140 suits Khan down to the ground, I think that this is his natural weight. I am really looking forward to this next fight as it will show us if he is ready to step up and face the top of 140 division like Bradley.

    I really like Bradley , he's a gutsy wee ******* but Khan is faster and longer I think he'd eat him up !

    The poor kid's in the Hospital. Diabetes. Too much candy from trick-or-treating. The kid got a sackful as everyone was too scared he might detonate them bombs right at their homes, the little *****!

    I think Amir has a lot of qualities, however my only reservation is whether he's got a decent chin! He's lucky though he has a great trainer and if he is intelligent enough to follow his instructions he should have a bright future.
