    Does anyone agree with me hes fought no one of class yet and people are over the moon with him, dont get me wrong I hope he does well but think all the world lightweight champions of today of beat him.

    I think Frank Warren is going to make all the money he can out of him then send him to the US and then hell get beat.

    Christ, understatement of the year mate. He's totaly over-rated, fought no-one to merit the bumph written about him, good marketing thats all.

    Im glad someone agrees hes got a glass chin aswell, and if hatton and kahn met hatton would knock him clean out

    Amir Khan - for my money - is always going to be a vulnerable fighter, but he does posess world class speed and I think, a fair dig. While he may never be the best in whichever weight division he happens to be in, I think he may well be able to blow away several highly respected fighters.

    In the press he is overrated, on here he is underrated

    The truth is somewhere in the middle. Why do people like to go to such extremes? He is a very good fighter, he's coming along slowly and seems to be improving every fight

    We could do with seeing him against different types of fighters, and bigger punchers. But from what I've seen he is easily second in Europe, behind only Romanov, which is a great start for a 21 year old

    Give him a break :roll:

    He's hardly going to win a world title without facing a puncher, so I wouldn't get your knickers in a twist

    With Khan not everything revolves around winning world titles for me.

    Just in terms of his own development as a boxer and to clear up the doubts over his questionable chin I'd like to see him face different types of fighters including bigger punchers just like YOU said.

    So you're going out on a limb and saying an experienced world champion at light welter would be able to beat a young lightweight prospect?;)

    the fruits who thought Hatton waa gonna batter Mayweather are the same ones who fall for the Khan hype, and the Audrey hype before that. You just have to pity those fools.
