    Don King:

    “I was very impressed with Amir,” he said. “Frank told me about Amir and I didn’t know what to expect because he is always boasting about his fighters.

    “But Khan is super-sensational. He is a very talented young man. He has hand speed that’s blinding and few fighters I have seen can punch forward and backward like he can and that’s the quality of Sugar Ray Robinson.

    “I don’t think there’s anyone like him in the world. He could almost go to the top with some of these guys right now.

    He certainly didn't look like Ray Robinson when Willie Limond made him do that silly dance.

    Limond has Ali-esque talent, it's not surprising.

    I seem to remember Frank Warren recently saying he would be prepared to work with King again.

    For once I agree with Warren. Khan has all the tools to be a real legend, not like most of todays frauds who only fight bums.

    Willie Limond holds a win over unified featherweight champion Choi Tseveenpurev, getting knocked down by him is no disgrace, Limond will go on to do great things. I think Limond is probably the La Motta to Khan's Robinson.

    Tell me that when he accomplishes the accomplishments. There was only 1 SRR and aint been anyone on that level since.

    Khan has talent and is a good fighter getting close to his opportunity. But its waaaaaaay 2 early to start such a comparison.

    The epic Limond/Khan clash in highlights, for anyone who wants to see the new Robinson/La Motta:

    Notice how the Rocky music reinforces the sheer will and desire of Khan to win.

    Mayweather, he's coming for you.

    This thing with the WBO is getting on my nerves - Khan is a WBO mandatory but there are two WBO titlists in Nate and Casa and they want each other and Pac. Now Don comes with some small talk about Khan/SRR and it seems like he is saying that he should be put on a hold and has time for greater things in the future. Don has nothing to do with the WBO - mandatory title shot for Khan now!
