    kahn is in for a "bernard dunne experience" when he steps in with a puncher.

    with his chin (or lack of) he will get brushed aside in ugly fashion.

    Yes, then everyone will act like the hype before the starching was only natural and that they saw it coming before Limond, even the Khan apologists.

    It's sad. I wish the boxing establishment would stop hyping jokes and would give the true underrated talents a chance, but then again, boxing fans are stupid.

    i don't think anyone denies now that khan has a dodgy chin...the khan "apologists" don't even deny this although some may feel he can still achieve something by improving his defence etc

    in fact, there are ultra-casual boxing viewers (i won't even call them fans) who watch the khan fights on itv and acknowledge he's got a dodgy chin.

    Yes, they do now, after the Limond fight. I said 'before Limond'. Several of us snuffed that one out before he even had 3 pro fights.:yep

    And the 17 fight novice Witter made Judah look awful...

    As hopeless as he is, Khan is the second best Britain have coming through.

    No one will ever look good against Witter , he just has a style to make everyone look crap.......sometimes even himself .

    Take out N'Dou to make the exception to prove the rule; has Witter ever looked good?;)

    Please don't expose Amsterdam like this. It is too much.

    He will tell you he knew Khan is chinny pre Limond. What he won't tell you is this opinion was founded in his hatred for Khan.

    Khan was knocked down and really badly disorganised against a light puncher. He did well to come back.

    If he gets tagged again but with someone who's a good finisher he may lose.

    Benn went a long way and was badly shaken at times too. De La hoya was dropped at 130, but could still take big shots at higher weights.

    I'd put him in with Gavin Rees next.
