    Some people say he is better than his older brother was at that age!

    Think there is talk of him competing at the olympics as well.

    Is Ironbull the guy who runs Khans Official fans site?

    I think he looks more solid than Khan. A little more strength and power.

    Lovely finishing combo... I remember amir when he was just a club fighter (though obviously a good one) and he was just like that.

    hope he doesn't get hyped too early.

    who am i kidding...of course he will be. if he's 15 now he'll be 20 for the london olympics and if he wins a medal the hype will be like amir khan * 100. hopefully he'll live up to it.

    It needs to be another case of Vitali/Wladimir, ie one brother has a good chin, the other a weak one. Then he might go places.

    It's pretty simple, it really is, the point I was making is that Vitali and Wlad have shown that just because 2 fighters are brothers has no bearing on the quality of their chin. Vitali had a good chin, Waldimir not so good. So I was saying let's hope this is the same situation with the Khan's. It seems Amir has a weak chin, so let's hope his brother is better blessed in that department.

    Fighters fighting in the lower divisions cannot protect a weak chin, because they don't have the massive physical advantages over their opposition like someone like Wladimir has over his peers. With Amir, I feel it's only a matter of time before he gets KO'd, having a chin like that. Wlad on the other hand, can use his height and strength advantages to tie his man up or keep him at bay.

    BTW, I'm a huge Wlad fan and not disputing his achievements.

    Fair enough if that was your point but you specifically said 'then he might go places' as if to suggest you won't go places without a chin or Wlad/Khan haven't/won't go places. Ultimately the suggestion is wrong.

    Fighters in the lower divisions cannot protect a weak chin? What did Tommy Hearns do?

    It may be a matter of time before Khan gets ko'd but your reasoning is 100% wrong. Going back to Tommy Hearns he used his physical advantages to win i.e. height and reach. These are two of Khans advantages.

    yeah but tommy hearns had good size advantages and a big punch to make guys think twice.

    same with wladimir klitschko.

    what has amir got??? a nice haircut perhaps. :lol:

    Hearns was a one off freak of nature, and his chin was not that bad, he was hurt by world class fighters, not feather fisted domestic fighters.
