    Khan gets way to much stick around here.

    Firstly, the lad is 21 years old. Gamboa is 27. Khan has plenty of time to gain ring experience, whereas Gamboa is already 6 years ahead in his pro career albeit he hasn't fought as many fights as Khan.

    Khan would fight for a world title tomorrow but FW wants to wait. No doubt he wants to protect his jewell/ cash cow or whatever you think the motives are behind that.

    Finally, another thing that annoys me is all this talk about his chin. Yes he got knocked down but he got hit on the temple not his chin. The jury is still out on his chin because it hasn't really been tested.

    give khan a break.. hatton and calzaghe fought weak opposition even while they had more then 30 fights under their belt.

    khan is only 22 years old, with 13 fights...
