    I've never seen this guy fight before, I know Roach is training him and he spars with Pac sometime. I read some where that he's signing with golden boy, and I know he's fighting Malignaggi soon. Does this guy have the potenial of being the next big thing in the welterweight division?

    has gr8 potential

    jus a matter of when the next guy hits him wiv a huge punch and he gets knocked down

    saying that sparring wiv pac man can only help and he does hav incredible ability
    he can go all the way 2 the top

    he is pretty good at 23 coming 2 the states but his weak jaw is bound 2 get exposed soon
    jus not by paulli cant punch through a paper bag mallignaggi

    He is talented, but his chin may prevent him from reaching big in boxing, Because he can't take a punch, I'm a fan of his and hope to see him do good, but I know whenever he fights a solid puncher it's going to be tough for him to survive when he gets hit flush.

    It has taken him a very long time to adapt to the professional game...and I'd probably go as far as saying he is still getting used to it. He has been pretty robotic in the majority of his bouts, but he has been showing improvement under Roach. I still don't think he's ready for any of the top guys in 140, if he comes up against anyone with any boxing IQ...I see him being soundly beaten (judging from a lot of his performances anyway).

    The kid is hyped to high heaven. He hasn't even proved himself the best in Britain. Has had a lot of money thrown at him and is an accident waiting to happen. He has been on the canvas 5 times already against mediocre opposition. Roach is a great trainer and might improve his defence, but as soon as Khan gets in with a puncher it will be all over. GBP will want to make money out of him so will match him with feather fisted fighters like Malignaggi. You can't do anything about a glass chin, end of story.

    I read on the doghouse boxing web site that he wants to fight Pac and Floyd. He said in 12 months he should be ready. Based on what you guys are telling me about this guy chin he'll get murdered by either one of them.

    If he had a chin he'd be a Hall of Fame fighter. I can't see him losing any fight on points until he declines. His chin will prevent him from becoming a truly great fighter.

    He's pretty good. But even if he sucked he would have no problem with Hot Tub Gay Machine Malignaggi.

    Exhibit A-Z: Ricky Hatton.

    I agree, Paulie lacks power, but his slick style should be a good test for Khan.
