    Considering he'd definitely be KO'd by a bunch of people in the Lightweight division, and also Warren's influence with the WBO, he should bulk up to the thinner 140 lb division, and chase a fight against someone with a comparably weak chin... Kendall Holt. Would it be a good move, and who would win if they fought, and why?

    kendall holt has a questionable chin, but to say its comparable with khan's is ridiculous

    holt has a bad chin compared to other boxers
    khan has a bad chin just compared to people in general

    I'm a fan of Khan but must agree with you here. He should just stay at the weight he's in and try to make the most out of it there. Once he picks up some improvements then he can move up as he becomes more experienced. But move up soon = stupid.

    Nay, I like the idea of him going to 140 since it aint a deep division and he could win a belt there but he needs to stay away from Ortiz and Bradley. Nay.

    Khan needs to improve on his footwork, and his defensive set. He cannot drop his left hand when throwing his right, as an even more basic improvement. He is basically still an amateur. If he can protect his chin, he can still win things. He does need to lose muscle and become leaner on the upper body and stronger in the legs. Lots and lots of improvements to make.
