    Khan has gone on record recently claiming "I know that in another five fights i'll be a World Champion".

    He has also stated his desire to move up a couple of weights and believes he can be a triple weight World Champion.

    These are bold statements from Mr Khan. We know that he is fighting Lawton next month and there have been persistent rumours that he could face Earl in December.

    Personally I can't see him being put in with Thaxton anytime soon
    for even the British Lightweight Title.

    Thats just my opinion but whats yours?

    Lawton
    Thaxton
    Earl
    Mitchell or someone like that
    At best he'll get an EU shot and this would be around Dec08 now, maybe 09.

    Khan is ambitious but Warren won't let him do what he wants. He has admitted this. Don't be suprised if a Hamed/Hatton like fallout happens.

    khan`s last fight shows he is still a novice who makes mistakes novice`s make.

    khan is a talent but warren will want to milk him for all he is worth.

    it is obvious that khan`s family will take over at some point and warren will be put on the back burner.

    WBO, at lightweight, will be be defeating Diaz, or maybe the interim champ in Kastidis? I dont think so myself.

    Think Khan turned professional around May 2005 but does anyone know how long he is tied to Warren for?

    Lawton - Earl - Diaz Melero - Thaxton - David Diaz

    that would be a 5 fight route.

    i think its more liley he will move up to Light Welter and face Gavin Rees or Torres.

    Lightweight is one of the stronger Divisions in terms of champions at the moment, Light Welter is not!

    I think he should be pushed towards a big money fight as soon as possible, otherwise he'll end up in the same boat as Audley Harrisson.
    Warren will steer him very carefully to some sort of title avoiding danger all the way, Earl and Thaxton will not be on the agenda, which is a shame because the public love car crash TV.

    Its amazing how one round v Limond has people forgetting Khan was basically winning every round outside of the kd round.

    Limond won 2 rounds at best.

    He was winning that fight on pure handspeed though. Theres a serious lack of technical skills or defense In Khan.

    I had it 3-3 after 6 rounds with Limond ahead due to the knockdown .

    I think it's amazing how that knockdown round has people forgetting Limond was given Khan a very good fight anyway .

    I think based on Khans performance against Limond he can go onto achieve it all, he got lucky that he wasnt counted out, but the way he came back tells me the guy has the guts to back up his great ring skills, & he got the luck that night regarding the count that every fighter needs once in their career.

    Khan wont face much tougher opponents than Limond unless hes fighting for world titles. Thats how highly I rate Limond. & to stop Limond in only his 13th fight? That tells me Khan will win a version of a world title. But in 5 fights? Thats a dangerous strategy, but I like prospects who take risks, & Khan certainly has done that so far in his short career.

    Khan is done for. His head movement was nearly none existant against Limond, Willie was landing at will when he managed to actually throw punches (which Khan's reasonable speed prevented somewhat). It is pretty much a guarentee Khan will make an unspectacular pro, given his current situation.
