    This guy is huge! he has the height the reach and the insane speed... and with roach/ariza combo in his corner the future is looking very bright for this young lad.

    He will be pac's chief sparring partner for his march 13 fight with floyd. That would be first class boxing lesson, his confidence will be at all time high after that experience.

    I hope his chin would improve as he goes up in weight... i'm in the khan bandwagon. :D

    Amir Khan is a supremely talented fighter who's yet to be pitted against a world class operator. Until he does, I won't be giving a verdict. He's doing everything right, though, and he has the right team behind him.

    cotto used to have a shaky chin but it gradually improved as he went up in weight. I think one of the reasons why he had a weak chin is that he was draining too much at lightweight, this kid is huge.

    Khan is a ****ing huge LWW, I knew he was big, but he has really grown into the frame of a 140 fighter.....I want his next test to be against a slick boxer(malignaggi) or a puncher (urango, maidana).....

    a year from now he will be ready to take on the big boys, and from what i heard he will be based in the US next year that would be great. :good

    I agree with you Enzo. He reminds me a bit of DLH in his style and size. I also see him as a top fighter at welter. He's gotta make some more noise at 140 though.

    I will say this much. I can't remember a fighter who was so brutally knocked out by such limited opposition before so early, who has came back to rule tough divisions. Offensively, Khan is supreme. I still doubt he'd take a good shot from Maidana or Urango though.

    Khan would **** Malignaggi, if Malignaggi didn't try to have sex with him first.

    There's a strong list of fighters waiting for Khan:

    Marquez
    Ortiz (once he bounces back)
    Maidana
    Hatton

    I'm a Pacquiao fan but I'm also joining the King Khan bandwagon! Speed, power, and the perfect strategist by his side.

    khan needs to work on his stamina first if he wants to beat williams.

    Point taken. I just get a little skeptical when I see Amir getting put on ***** street in the amateurs by a non puncher, wearing headgear. Let's wait and see how he reacts when he gets tagged by a capable puncher.
