    winning a olympic medal is a huge in any sport - but there is such a big difference in amature and pro boxing that it really goes for nothing there like two different sports and while khan was clearly a excellent amature with massive gloves and a head guard on he just does not have the chin to make it as a pro as soon as he meets a decent puncher (never mind a big puncher) its over for him.

    Considering the taxes he will have had to pay I very much doubt it.

    The hype around Khan is unbearable. He'll probably win a world title but he won't go much further. His chin ain't good enough, If he ate a jaw breaker he'd have to take an eight count its that bad.

    His head movment is worse than his chins.

    His reflexes aren't anything special either.

    Muhammad Ali won a medal, look where he is now
    Foreman won a medal, look where he is now
    Lewis won 2 medals, look where he is now
    Jermain Taylor won a medal, look where he is now
    DLH won a medal, look where he is now
    PBF won a medal, look where he is now
    RJJ won a medal, look where he is now
    Wladimir won a medal, look where he is now

    and I can go on and on. Don't just pick Audley or the ones that had no future after the medal, there are WAY more that proved A LOT after winning the medal. Whoever thinks winning a medal is pointless is an idiot.

    Robin Reid won a medal.

    I'd expect Khan will just about match his wasted career.

    Scar, you've missed the point. I said winning a medal doesn't make you a great boxer in the Pro ranks. The people you have quoted above were, or are top boxers.

    That doesn't mean Amir Khan will automatically become a world champion or a great boxer, thats my point.

    No. Jermain Taylor won Bronze, RJJ won Silver (got robbed), and Lewis won a Bronze first and then a Gold.
