    I wouldn't give Khan much of a chance beating a guy like Robbie Peden much less for Manny. Manny is a volume puncher and equally as fast as Khan. Khan just doesn't have the experience or fundamentals to beat a vet like Manny.

    I think the issue with Khan is that he is arrogant/comes across as arrogant but cannot back up that arrogance.

    He can't claim to be world class when he is stepping in with the guys he is stepping in with.

    I don't know if he can win me over now, regardless of what he does.

    I think the same can be said about Alex Arthur here

    Arthur is not arrogant like Khan but he has talked about himself in World class terms and I just dont see it - he is British / Commonwealth level fighter - Europeaen at most

    But now he is a Paper World Champion

    I think he would have been stopped by Guzman

    Of course Arthur is well hyped up because he is Scotlands best fighter
    but that is nothing when you are talking about the whole world

    Khan is a typical big headed young man who thinks he is invincible

    notice when he got floored against Gomez he had like a smirk that said "this is embrassing I'm too good to be floored by the likes of Michael Gomez"

    evidently not Khan - you were floored because you are flawed with a shaky chin.

    Gomez had that same smug look when he looked into the camera after eating a big left hook. Not long after that he was given oxygen..

    Yeah, I can see where you are going with Arthur thing, but he has fought better opposition than Khan and was going to fight Guzman.

    Also, he hasn't ran his mouth anywhere near the level that Khan has.

    Agreed. But both have shown similar deficiencies and both have had alot of smoke blown up there assholes. AA`s found his level thats for sure. The jury is still out on Khan. May be he can improve. That remains to be seen. Going by the way he looked against a shot fighter like Gomez my reservations arent too promising. Even Ricky Hatton knew how to eat up a club fighter..

    O no - Arthur is nowhere near as bad as Khan

    Khan is pushing 22 now and he is not ready for the worlds best - thats the majority of what people feel is my impression

    but how much better is he going to get

    I fear Frank Warren is just going to play it all safe

    Khan will be a paper Champion with easy defences making lots of easy £££££££££

    Exactly, he should concentrate on stepping up his level of opposition bit by bit. It will be a long time (if ever) before he can realistically talk about facing the likes of Pacman.

    If they were to fight now Pacman would completly ruin him and effectively finish his career.

    Frank Warren may be a lot of things but he certainly isnt stupid and would never consider that fight.

    Khan would be eaten up by Pacman. He has nothing for that whirlwind. He's still learning to deal with domestic/European whirlwinds like Gomez let alone Pac, Diaz etc
