I honestly feel he is young enough, hes hand speed is great and he is growing into a decent puncher, not a KO artist but can pund people into submission. He tall and rangey as well. theres questions about his chin but i think the issues are more his defense than chin. i can see him getting a top class trainer in a few years and becoming a multi weight world champ in a few years time. L/W, LW/W and maybe W/W!
:rofl might hold the WBU 'world' title. then again, he might get iced by earl, i sure hope he does :good
If his development is sheltered properly and he is not thrown to the punchers, he could end up holding a respectable World Title. However, I don't see him defending that more than twice, because of his chin. Therefore, I would guess he goes the WBO route.
I have no idea about how many lame belts he can win so I have went with a title that means something. Or at least it used to - not sure if they have changed it. Euro Tite at best.
he will never reach naz's level. naz had world class ability and was a superstar who could fill arenas and sell PPV. khan is big favourite, and rightfully so, but earl can dig a fair bit, and khan's chin ain't up to much, so don't write earl off.
He's got the skills but not the chin......May hang on to a world title but not for long , A dencent fighter with an accurate bomb will expose him.
I wouldn't be surprised if Early KO'd him to be honest. In all my years of following boxing I've never known someone as overhyped as Khan. He's not even the best prospect in the UK yet he gets all the media attention just because of the olympics. And the thing that pisses me off is he believes all the hype as well, Limond shook him big time even though he's a light puncher it's only a matter of time before he gets exposed.
Yeah, but he isn't doing badly for a 20/21-year old either. Earl, even faded as he is, is a good step up from Limond...if he passes this one, he will get another gimme and then Thaxton...if he beats Thaxton at 21...that is not bad at all, hype aside.
