    Yes he's good. Good handspeed, reasonable power & decent footwork. He's also heavily hyped & won't be a future number one pound for pound fighter.

    He is very good.

    Excellent footwork, very fast hands and good power.

    Problem is.......

    He ain't been in there with anyone capable of hitting him back yet, so we reserve judgement on whether his chin has improved since being dropped by a feather fister.

    I think he should fight Jon Thaxton next - a guy who can bang.

    That Limond KO is a big question mark, his chin is way more vulnerable than David Haye's. Khan was ****ed and Limond isn't a big puncher.

    Other than that, he's the total package. Excellent skills, 17 year old silver medallist at the olympics, blinding handspeed and power, long reach. He'll win a world title at either 135lbs or 140bs, and maybe all the way up to 147lbs.

    Limmond may not be an impressive Knock Out puncher but he has put alot of guys on the deck!

    Earl would have tested Khans chin, he didnt get the chance. There are plenty of guys with not so great chins that have gone very very far in boxing so I dont think its a huge reason to count him out.

    Positives : Very fast hands and good footwork.

    Negatives : Bad chin and can talk a lot of ****.

    Take away Warren/newspaper hype, money and fast cars:
    One of the very best British prospects, with a possible (but by no means certain) chin fatal flaw.

    He is amazing and will be the undisputed and undefeated multi weight champion, taking on all comers.

    The most overhyped boxer that I can remember in my lifetime.

    I really want to see him in with a guy who can punch and I really want to see him fight Katsidas as well.

    It all depends on his jaw, it could be made of glass we have to wait and see.. if he had or has a good chin i think he would definitely be one of the best fighters in boxing...

    Probably because Khan floored him in only 72 seconds.

    I thought the fight against Limond was a learning experience for Khan.
