    I used to talk **** about him and be annoyed with all the hype he gets.... but lately Ive changed my mind

    well he is 22 so they are trying to just move him along without going to quickly like Vargas did. I mean there are a lot of guys out there that would whoop his ass.

    I guess cause he was british and they love their fighters and he was already famous from being successful in the olympics there is a lot of pressure to see him thrown in the big fights but he aint ready yet. Its just that he is receiving more attention/hype/coverage than the other guys of his ability level.

    Well managed. I was the only one who predicted Prescott would K him TFO. FACT. That makes me a genius. FACT.

    Nah but seriously, he's well managed, getting better each fight, he's going places. He's still only a youngun.

    Most young big time prospects who are still improving ARE protected IF they are being managed well. Khan's being managed well enough but they're bringing him along.

    It's too early in his career to be calling him protected.

    If he's protected they wouldn't have made the Prescott fight. I know that fight ended up being a shocker and all that but if people remember the way they promoted it they mentioned endless times that Prescott is a big puncher.
