Should Khan jump straight to Welter weight and clean up?

    We all know and respect that Amir Khan is a great talent and that he will be a definate pound for pound all time great. So should he stop wasting time at light weight where there are now fighters worthy of cementing reputation and jump straight into the mix at Welter weight. I know it will take a couple of fights before he will be in a position to fight Cotto and Mayweather so if he warms up against Cintron and Williams tand then defeats Cotto he will be in a position to fight PBF.

    Khan could of course first defeat Casa or Nate then jump up to light welter and fight a top guy there but with his frame he will be more suited to destroy the competition at full Welter.

    Khan as a chance to be the greatest fighter of his generation and with his mixture of power, speed, technique, strength, and skill he will be able to take on and beat anyone. His haters will state he has a dodgy chin but that his bollocks, just look at how he takes the clean punches from former world champion Gairy St Clair and world number 2 Martin Kristjansen, the kid is amazing.

    :thumbsup

    If he's as good as you see he should aim to be a four weight wolrd champ, so a title at lightweight is a must.

    If he's not, he wants to stay down at lightweight for as long as possible.

    You're way off the mark.

    Khan has been on his ass against C level opposition, and has defeated nobody that would make him a clear P4P all time great. Likewise, he isn't capable of clearing out Lightweight let alone Welterweight based on his current performances.

    Let Khan improve. He is just an up and coming fight at the minute.

    Haha, I don't think it matters, the bait has been taken already.:lol: There was another thread that was so blatant but hundreds of mooks came in and posted something argumentative based on the title alone, it's quite funny! Now where is my flame-proof suit.:smoke

    With his Glass Jaw he is not going to go very far when he actually steps up.

    he's not going to clean up anything ... he can't beat any reigning champion in the division right now. He would have to wait for some of those guys to move on.
