Should Khan jump straight to Welter weight and clean up?

    Tbh im not sure. I mean one minute the guy is stating that the Prem is the priority then the next he is resting Torres in the league but starting him in the Carling Cup:patsch

    I was actually calling for his head recently. Even now when the ship has steadied somewhat, I believe he should be given one more year max. 5 years is enough time for any plan to come to fruition.

    Still odd though. That Hopkins one is def your trademark!

    Quite simply the best post in the history of ESB... 'nail' and 'head' and 'hit' all sprang into my mind. Well done.

    good analysis i agree on khans ability. but hes never ready to clear up welter yet. long way away from that. cotto, mayweather ring any bells? he would need a few more fights then you have suggested but overall yes i think he will eventually clear up welterweight and i cannot waitbut hes at least ten fights way though IMO.:good

    I just hope he reads it.




    Did I mention I am a script writer for the ITV commentators? I had to tone it down abit to start this thread but I thinkn people are coming around to my way of thinking.


    Amir Khan also has the ability to slow down time. We saw that against Limond, what seemed like 14 seconds was only actualy 8 seconds. These kind of super natural abilities will no doubt help him become the greatest boxer of his and ever other generation.

    find it unlikely he will ever fight at that divison? but even so. its certainly a weaker division then welter IMO excluding pavlik and abraham i dont rate the division much. but khan? no?



    do you?

    He should consider an MMA career. He was seen calling out Kimbo the other night.

    I hope your team gets promoted this season (again)! It's looking a bit tight at the top of the championship. You also lost two of your best players! (which happens a lot to Championship teams anyway).

    Khan is 5' 10" so he would not be over small for a middle weight. I think with his share of speed, skill and power he could easily clean up that division too. I doubt Pavlik or Abraham would be around by the time he moved up so he would have little chance of failing.
