    Big Frank names the date on his next fight 5mins after his win, yet waits over a month to name his opponent, typical. :deal

    It does seem odd - perhaps that is part of the grand plan to only give an opponent five weeks to train.

    I heard Warren is pushing the idea of Sean Hughes but Khan is not too confident.

    This is all rather reminiscent of Hatton's WBU reign of terror. Wouldn't surprise me if Dennis Holbaek Pedersen is brought in.

    Current fans have never had it so good; thanks to the likes of boxrec promoters cannot throw gross mismatches at you.

    And Amir has not had any gross mismatches; if you want to see a gross mismatch then watch Bruno/Gardner or Hide/Davis to see what I mean.;)

    You cant fault Warren or Khan imo.

    If Khan had it his way he would of allready had his world title shot.But....

    Khan is not ready yet and if he doesnt get his defence sorted and get stronger sparring partners he is going to get knocked so to put him with world quality fighters will be a mismatch.

    Warren is doing the right thing taking it slowly. Khan has made little progression since the olympics and hopefully his new trainer will take him to the next level so that he can step up and fighter world class fighters.

    The best thing to do is find a fighter that will be a good learning experience for Khan.

    Perhaps they are not gross mismatches but when you have a fighter that, his promoters claims, is already "beyond European level" it's only natural to expect a little better than blown up featherweights.

    Youve got to keep youre confidence up and aim for the top. No promoter who aims to get his fighter a world title one day is going try and deflate his fighter.

    yes you blood well can, hes fought 18 nobodies yet his ranked like hes done something by the WBC,WBA and IBF
    trainer or no trainer khan isnt going anywhere on the world stage even with a winky wright defence if some 1 slips in a decent enough shot hes out. The least he can do is fight jhon murray or romanov

    It is called hype; it is what a good promoter does; maximum money for minimum risk.;)

    Look at his age though. Theres no problem with taking it slowly. Theres no need to fight top level fighters too early and get knocked out. There is still a lot that needs to be improved. The new trainer is a step in the right direction.
