    Where do you rate him now?

    How high do you think he'll climb?

    P4P - maybe 100-120 right now.

    Potential - maybe 10-30, although if he continually improves with every fight he has a chance of being possibly even top 5.

    Doubt he'll ever be elite. His weak chin really limits his versatility. What if he needs to change his fighting style to something more agressive? (Because of cuts or something) Unlike Wlad he dosen't have the luxury of a **** poor division.
    Still credit for winning last sat. Disciplined performance over a decent fighter.

    well outisde the top 100 right now and he will be outside the top 100 for a while, especially if he stays with warren!!

    he could probably be top 30 if he maintained a high level of comp for a few years

    Really that low?

    I cant think of 100 boxers who're better than him. Surely top 50s more realistic?

    I could see him cracking the top 10 within a year or two, i think he's a phenominal talent, in with a top coach, and who will work his socks off

    Definitely not top 50, he has done nothing to put himself even close to that range

    Ho got smoked by an unknown, got a technical decision over a retired barrera (the fight should have been stopped in the first making it a no contest) and then beat Kotelnik who wasn't even close to being top 50 either.

    To crack the top ten he is either going to have to dominate at LWW (not easy at all) or move through the weight divisions, and he wouldnt surive at WW or Light Middle

    Look before you start talking about P4P, surely first he should be topping his own division. He beat one of the title holders fair enough, but the guy was specially picked to suit his style.

    If he fights and beats somebody like Bradley, Holt or Maidana, just to pick out a few, then we can start talking about him as being one of the top LWW. If he continues on fighting a few other good fighters, then maybe he can be discussed in P4P terms, but he is a long way off that yet. You're putting the cart before the horse, and this is the kind of stuff that makes people hate Khan and his fans.
