    His poor resistance could be attributed to his weight. Khan is a huge lightweight and should be up at 40/47. BUT its a catch 22. If he moves up and his chin is bad he gets KO`ed even faster. Either way he`s chin is too poor.

    I agree with that.

    His chin might improve slightly but the punches get harder.

    Imagine Khan in with Mosley - rather than Margarito......

    Their defences are pretty equal.

    Actually...... no I don't want to imagine it :patsch

    That alone makes me accessory to murder.

    Khan vs Mosley would be like Adrian Stone vs SSM except ALOT quicker.

    Khan WILL be a belt holder and prbably by the end of the year....But he will never be THE man in the division unless a division completely empties out.

    They sell belts at Sainsbury's.

    I'm sure a photocall can be arranged. Just change the studs that make up 'Jesus Loves You' to WBO.

    On Khan vs Mosley..... **** it.... make it happen :lol:

    There used to be an advert in boxing monthly for a company that made imitation belts. may be Khan could get one from there..

    Don't the WBC sell replicas?

    I know Khan would be in breach of contract with Frank...... but still - the green belt is much better than the imitation vinyl of the WBO.

    :lol:

    I can't believe people actually consider it a world title.

    Sign with SN, get to 7-0 (5KO) and you are in the top 3!

    A vacant one, against a stiff.

    so can punch resistance improve by getting hit more often?

    I've seen Pacman hit himself with an escrima stick to condition his body!!

    You have to be extremely naive to think that Khan will not win a WBOgus bauble

    Why would Khan fight a Welter?
