    Interesting to see if Amir can take on Nate, he certainly has the skills:

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Khan gunning for Campbell!
    WBO #4 lightweight Amir Khan has congratulated new WBC/WBO/WBA world champion Nate Campbell on beating Juan Diaz, but has warned him he is coming to get his titles. "No one gave Campbell much of a chance, so it's a great acheivement to have beaten Diaz and won those belts," said the 21-year-old from Bolton. "But I don't think I'm too far off fighting the likes of Campbell - and hopefully by the end of the year I'll be challenging for the titles. He's a great fighter, but at the end of the day I want to test myself against the best. I'm improving every day in the gym, and I'm punching much harder now than I was just six months ago. I just need a little bit more experience and then I'll be ready for anyone in the world. I went 12 hard rounds in my last fight, and that's given loads more confidence." Khan (16-0) tackles Martin Kristjansen at the Bolton Arena, Bolton, on April 5 in an eliminator for the WBO world title. With Khan already highly ranked by the WBO, and Kristjansen the current number two, victory will see him move a step closer a mandatory shot at either Campbell, or interim WBO champion Michael Katsidis.

    Smart move by his management Khan can take Campbell imo.

    Indeed.

    I feel bad that I picked Diaz instead of Campbell.

    I KNEW Campbell was going to demolish him, but the majority of the forum thought the opposite, and I put it on Juan Diaz.

    Stupidest thing i've ever done. :oops:


    I will never underestimate ma man Campbell no more.

    You the man Nate!

    How is a guy who just won a split decision six-rounder ranked #2 by the WBO?

    Yep, beating up Danish cabbies in his hometown will have him completely prepared.

    Khan isn't ready yet. Too bad Campbell is edging his prime.

    You guys disgustingly underestimate Khan..The guy gots skills..younger, faster, stronger than Nate. Amir aint going to stand in front of him like Juan did.. he'll box him and use his lenght.. Khan has been more patient lately utilizing his jab..I like the way hes maturing into a fighter..Give 2 or 3 more fights

    Frankly, he'll make Nate look old..and you guys will come back here as say yeah Nates 37, hes shot
