    Thats what they tell everyone, Mike McCallum not exactly going to tell people that he is **** as he is good friends with Eubank senior. He was not up to much in his carpark fighting days.

    They boast about him being better than Khan but apparently he is not up to much as an amateur (or so I read).

    Its the same old **** where they reckon the brother is better, they did the same with Naz claiming his brother was better.

    golden gloves is probably higher standards than aba's aint it. All the mexicans and ****.

    Khans gonna be the face of british boxing from a yanks perspective, with haye.

    Who else is there that has enough talent to get noticed in the USA. No1 except khan and haye..................................................... khan could clean up the LW division and haye the HW

    If Khan was to sign with Goldenboy, he could fight Diaz, D. Diaz, Santa Curz, Katsidis, Pacman, JMM Marquez, Gamboa plus many more and become a legend even if he loose 2 or 3 of them. But instead he will stay with Warren and fight Alex Arthur and no one will respect him.

    British Boxing does not need a saviour but David Haye could well be the saviour of the Heavyweight Division, we'll see after his next few fights.

    I agree 100%.

    I can't see Frankie adapting to well at world level in the pro's. Hope I'm wrong though.


    There are a few Scots amatuers who should be good pro's and have the potential ability to go on to pick up a belt.

    He is a man but not the man.

    Anyone can wear a white suit & hat and pretend they are the man from del monte.

    :rofl

    Anyway, after the Gomez fight Khan's contract with ITV and Warren ends and no new contract has been discussed yet. Warren wants to wait till after the Gomez fight but Khan should forget about resigning with The Ginger One and sign with Top Rank or GBP.

    You reckon his dad and little Asif will let him sign up with GBP ?

    I think his dad enjoys the perks of the Warren link especially with the freebie ringside tickets the Khan clan get. Can't blame them though, I would do the same.

    I have heard good things about young prospect Thomas Costello.

    I also agree with David Haye and Paul Appleby (if brought along properly)
