Amir Khan is the WBC No 10

Khans winning and beating people with pretty records. All the while other fighters are losing and thus demoting themself.

Unfortunately record with no real substance can get high rankings as long as they are undefeated.

 

Provided he is very carefully matched he will end up with a big title shot. All Frank Warren has to do is keep him away from anybody with a half decent punch. That's why I don't believe he will be allowed anywhere near Jon Thaxton, that's got disaster written all over it.
His success will continue up to the point he gets hit with a decent shot.

 

those rankings dont really mean much if you check out the rankings on boxrec hes only in the top 20, jono is ranked higher then him.

 

IS David Diaz that much of a bigger risk than Thaxton? It would be a better risk reward type fight to take on a weak WBC belt holder like David Diaz than go after Thaxton.

 

David Diaz is garbage in terms of world class. He's just strong and heavy handed but I don't rate him.

 

True comment about Diaz. He'd probably be the way to go.

 

He is strong and heavy handed... Amir does not need that the moment. I would go the Rees route; in due course.

 

Diaz couldn't even beat Morales clearly.

 

and ? , he'd bully Khan around and chin him within 4 .

 

Obviously not now. Khans still number ten. I'm thinking if he gets by Earl and Thaxton, maybe a European shot and then onto Diaz.

I think leave the Rees route alone. Don't put yourself at 140 if thats not his size yet. Even if he got by Rees, he'd be left to deal with pain in the arses like Kotelnik. He doesn't need those guys now. Tough guys like Diaz but bigger.

Khan needs to be exposed to many more styles.

Cotto and Floyd did very well in being exposed to nearly every type of boxer before they were champs. Admittingly low level boxers but they gained alot of experience.

 

Warren won't put Khan against Rees for the same reason he didn't put Hatton against Witter, he wan't his invstments to be kept as far away from each other as possible.

 

I don't know about different styles, but he as already been exposed.

 

Khan beating Earl , Thaxton and Romanov ? . I reckon he'd beat Earl and I suppose there is the chance he could take out Thaxton before he is taken out(wouldn't bet on it though) but to then beat Romanov aswell ?........never gonna happen .
