For those of you who critisise Amir Khan's level of opposition

'No evidence it has ruined his dedication', your hardly going to find that out at this stage are you ?? You'll find that out when hes actually fighting a 'hungry for success' world level fighter .. Dont get me wrong here Amir Khan has great potential, i just think its a fact in boxing that you have to keep the fighter hungry by not giving him too much too soon, for his own good, for his own longevity and if he truly wants to be a boxing great then this isnt the way to do it, i cant think of any fighter in history who has been given this much exposure and this much wealth at this stage in his career, in America you actually have to prove yourself to be good, you have to get good results and then the riches and all the rest of it will follow .. Theres always gonna be hungry fighters in Khans current and prospective divisions '140, 147' ( he'll be a welter in 3 years ) and his management need to keep his fire burning and not let him be like Naz who made a big noise in a short space of time, made millions and is now just a footnote in boxing history, all because he was given it all too fast too soon because Warren wanted to make big money in superquick time, and for me Naz had even more talent than Khan but nobody will remember him as an all time great when i think he could have been ..... The lesson for Khan is there and his management need to keep it in mind for his own good

 

Another great post.Keep it up Pops the Brit forum needs more subjective and insightful posts like this.Not the usual junk that you have to rawl through.:deal

 

Agreed, in fact I think Naz had a LOT more talent than Khan. Reflexes were quick enough for him to almost never get hit on the domestic level, wheras Khan has been tagged quite a few times and even dropped. Naz's power was also concussive and plain devestating, while Khan (although he does have dig) seems more of the type to overwhelm with speed and combinations rather than end it in a single shot. Naz also seems to have a better chin, having only ever been down in his career due to being off balance, while Khan seemed to lose his legs and wits for a minute after being decked by Limond.
