    Just think where Amir Khan would be in his career had he had stayed with big frank...

    Not a chance Frank would have him risk his WBA strap against world class contenders such as Judah, Peterson, Malinaggi, Maidana unifying them (& losing) in the process.... and now being lined up to fight Mayweather in 2013

    Not forgetting the mega money HBO deal he has...

    he would be earning peanuts fighting Nobodys like a certain Welsh Light-heavy champion....

    Nope TR was the move, he would have been fighting Manny right now instead of bradley, because of his L, he may never fight Mayweather, while TR has the best talent from 140-154

    And Arum wouldn't sit back and allowed his fighter to get shafted, like ODH did

    but he would have sold out 20k at the M.E.N everytime with sky sports hype machine. the khan situation is similar to the mayweather one, not many americans like the guy but people would go to watch him.

    he probably does make more fighting in america because of the HBO money so now he gets paper from the u.s and the u.k.

    the manny fight wouldnt happen because they have the same trainer as Amir has said..

    & to be fair, theres not much differance between the two promotional companies in terms of talent..

    making the move across the pond was the big reason behind his sucess..

    maybe a good time for Kell Brook to do the same?

    I'd say Golden Boy was and is considerably deeper at 140 and 154.

    there's a reason big names like hatton and calzaghe left him. ****** is good for getting you a giftwrapped wbo title, but if you can achieve more than that don't expect him to take a chance on you. he'd rather have you defend the belt against 20 bums in a row while making bull**** statements. just look how burns's and cleverley's title reigns have turned out.
