    he would be exactly where his brother is !!probably selling mobile phone covers
    remember Haroon Khan used to get on his undercards lol...

    Fair play to Khan in his early years he was going out there wanting the belts and to fight the best but he kept getting sparked and revised his career path to just fighting enough, against fighters long past their best ,just to stay relevant ....although imo he is no longer relevant in real boxing terms..

    He's a welterweight. He started at LW, he's a similar height to Garcia, Brook, Alexander, Collazo, Peterson, Floyd etc and he's not particularly stocky.

    What you think he walks round at eh
    Brook could be 154
    Porter to
    Thurman also
    And so could khan you seen khan not in camp ?
    And for the record he was hardly eating nothing at LW he should have started at lww he would have been healthier but would not have gotten past euro level his handlers knew this

    Khan had to actually bulk up to 147...

    he is never a 154 fighter ,even heh imself said he wont fight there...id very much doubt Thurman or Porter would either..

    Broner could probably eat his way up to 175 though

    Fighters usually fight at the lowest weight possible. If those guys are strong and healthy at 147 then they are welterweights.

    I highly doubt Khan, at about 5'8" with a decent frame needed to "bulk" his way to 147. More likely that he just grew into that weight class.

    Your stupid not to to me reeks of I ain't confident in ones abilities
    Your weight is your weight and dropping weight to make fights IMO is dangerous for an advantage
    I have read the big if

    99% of top level boxers do it. If you don't do it, you will be giving your opponent a size/weight advantage in the ring.

    What about Roach's claims that Khan couldn't remain conscious when sparring Manny? How many times does he claim Amir has been Ko'd already by Pacquiao?

    Well no.

    Firstly it's just smart to fight at the lowest weight you can make healthily.

    Secondly everybody is doing it therefore you are not gaining any advantage.
