    With Khan becoming the WBA World Champion at the age of just 22, In 4 or 5 years where will Khan be in the world's top boxing stage?

    Dr.Roach has only been training Khan for 9 months 3 camps.

    Signs look good for his chin at 140 his more natural weight, he took some clean shots last night with no effect.

    Not far. As soon as he faces someone who can crack, he gets exposed again.

    As long as he sticks to the game plan and not deviate from it, he will have a bright future w/ Roach in his corner.

    Pretty far I think.

    As you said, they've only had 3 camps together, he could become quite the fighter in 4 or 5 years times. He's got the body to become a multi weight champ, and on top of that his experience will be enhanced, he'll learn new tricks, and will become an extremely intelligent fighter at his peak.

    Expect him to have a few blips on the way. Considering the tough division he's in, I can see him tasting the canvas a few more times. But he's been there before, and he'll learn from them.

    Roach gotta teach khan to defend himself better. He has the offensive tools to beat anybody. He has the speed and punching power but his defense need to improve cuz his chin is not very good.

    Khan can still improve under Roach, but the guy has some inherent defensive flaws that I'm not sure he can overcome entirely. He's lucky that there are no skilled bangers at 140 right now. But as soon as he faces one he's done. There were multiple opportunities for Kotelnik to end the fight with one or two shots last night, but Kotelnik lacks the fire power.

    Oh how the tables began turning since that night, and still turn as we speak. Khan's moved across the pond, changed trainer, fought 3 times, and captures a world title....whilst Prescott has only fought twice (bitten in the former, and losing in the latter).

    Give it another 12/18 months or so when their paths cross once again, and watch Khan outclass the Columbian

    The one major flaw of Khan that needs to be corrected is his reaching...
    When he throws his right hand he sometimes tends to reach & telegraph his shots
    leaving his entire face open to a left hook. (Most of the time)
    (I hope Dr. Roach can remedy that before he fight's another strong 140lber)
