    Under frank warren anything is possible, he guided Alex Arthur, Nicky Cook, Gavin Rees and Enzo Mac to world titles, but I dont see Khan doing it, not unless he makes some major adjustments.

    Well Titles are pretty easy to come by these days. Khan can still move himself back into contention with a couple of big wins. Today obviously he's chances are more less nothing. However, things will change in the division over the next couple of years. Pacman is gone. Casa is finished. Nate Campbell won't stay around much longer. Marquez is also closing in on retirement. The division is going to be pretty open, but there will still be Juan Diaz, Katsidis, possibly Gamboa coming up, which doesn't favour Khan much. I'll put his chances at about 10% in the next couple of years.

    Not unless the Warren Boxing Organisation make a vacant title fight between Amir Khan and some feather fisted bum, i see Zero Chance.

    He can certainly do it if matched right, against an aging none puncher gatekeeper boxer type or someone chinny and slow and he'd be a dead cert. Bare in mind he has great speed and is a very big strong LW and can still improve loads

    so at lightwelterweight he has 1% chance. thats 1 in 100. khan is obviously that 1 in a 100, so i guess he will win.

    the only way it happens is if another gavin rees comes along & gets an abc belt&warren gets khan a shot otherwise its 0%.

    Chinny fighters can win titles with a bit of luck, if their offence is very effective, especially if they learn how to box intelligently and take some risks. e.g. Berrio
