    I agree.

    I would like to see him fight Peterson that would give him big recognition in the states.

    He also needs a coach who teach's good defence.

    Khan will amount to nothing in regards to the WC scene.

    If he improves his defence he will.

    Negative, his chin is made out of china and you guys are under the impression that his offensive skill and defensive potentiality is of WC ability, which is a big negative. All it takes is 1 flush sat down punch from a calibre of Nate Campbell's league and he may just fall over.

    Trust Amsterdam, he knows how to rate fighters correctly.:good

    True he does not have a great chin, but I think it is being blown massivly out of proportion how bad it is and I will reserve my final opinion till then.

    People examine chins far too much I think. If he basically gets some defensive skill he will be good enough to grab an alphabet.

    Also Campbell is inconsistant as ****.

    how can he find success in 135 if he tries to avoid the punchers, katsidis, pac, diaz(not a heavy hitter but i think he can wore khan), campbell. He should move to 140 where malignaggi and the likes of forbes dwell

    Khan has improved a little since Limond, but I don't think any of you realise how much of a non-factor Limond is in everyway. Limond was a featherfist in the British circuits!:lol:

    He couldn't even stop several 10-30 level bums who had been KOed multiple times by low level's, yet he puts Khan down hurt?

    Even Malignaggi has a MUCH more potent stiff shot than Limond. Khan's a non-factor as I see, he doesn't even have Malignaggi level skill and Malignaggi is a B class.

    Khan's nothing more than a novelty sell, get over it. Gamboa is the prospect for the new boxing empire, he shall be crowned King.

    I broke this down a while ago, look at who Paulie has KO'd and the look at who Limond has KO'd.

    The guy Gamboa's fighting next, Jimenez, KOed Mike Anchondo cold, he'd likely do the same to Khan, but Gamboa's about to dish out a supernatural annihilation.;)

    Bad idea. Peterson is not a stepping stone fighter. No way Khan will be put in the ring against him unless a world title is at stake.

    Cant believe how true this is!!?

    I'm not building Khan up as anything other than a prospect, but I really cant believe how many people are dismissing him at this stage in his career. He is still a kid with mountains of room to improve!

    As for a fight with Peterson, both are at the same stage in their career, both look like good prospects and a win for one over the other would vastly improve people's opinions. I agree that the fight is unlikely to happen as neither camp would want to lose the '0' without challenging for a belt!

    the problem with Khan is that Warren is so scared about his chin he is making him fight feather fists. Khan needs the experience he would gain from getting in there with 3 or 4 mexican warriors,
