    I'd say there is more to come, 26-28 should be prime time for Amir

    I think he still has a bit of growth to do physically, i think we will see him at 147 soon and thats when he will peak

    I think so. What has he got except from speed? Kind of answers the question.

    Speed will only diminish as he gets older, so ye, he must be in his prime now.

    Who can tell? He's a young guy, you never know when someone will hit their peak.

    He could improve until his early thirties. I expect to see his best around the time he is 28 or so. Let's see what Roach can do with him.

    he physicly is now a strong man and with

    freddie training him and giving good advice,

    from maybe the best trainer in the world,

    also he himself working hard, I can say

    he is in his prime right now.

    Hard to say. Hindsights a beautiful thing. But I think he may just be on the cusp.

    Obviously if he goes on to lose a few fights and never reaches the level he's at now again, then most people will look back and say his prime was now (the past year or so).

    Almost there. I can't see him doing well once his speed is gone with his current style.

    True. He wore down Zab like that and he got that warrior body shot!

    No, give it a year or 2. At 28 he will retire... well thts wht he says. The best from Amir Khan is yet to been seen.
