    i say yes. bruno got beat early (in his career) it never stopped him being the most popular of alll time in the UK

    amir will still go on to be a world champion IMO. but he has never looked like the great that he is made out to be

    Who can he beat to be a WC ?

    This is going to knock his confidence. Maybe FW can line him up another super fight against Kindelan.

    At a UK level, sure.

    Euro seems trickier. World would seem well out of the question.

    But he can still draw at national level.

    Bruno never got beat like that. Khan is far too fragile to be a world champion, he's in the wrong sport. If he carries on he is liable to end up a mess.

    No way he can defeat any world class fighters.
    He can't even take a decent jab in the face.

    Can't wait to see what him and Warrens master plan will be now.

    No more KHAN BOX OFFICE! The boy needs to grow the **** up. You can't charge out the ring like that looking for a ruck with a brutal ko merchant like Prescott is. Good call by the trainer :patsch

    You're joking right? If he moves up he will get starched even quicker by the bigger punchers. Face facts. He is a talented boxer but his career is fubar, he cannot take a punch. Few more mismatch fights then another stab at a decent level where he is ko'd and it's goodnight Khan. Still made a **** load of cash though did'nt he.

    Not like that.

    He was taken out cold in 51 seconds and, until the Columbian proves me wrong, by a sub-standard opponent at that.

    He wasn't caught cold.

    Jesus, his legs were going wobbly from the first good jab that got through.

    If his chin is as bad as it looks, and I had my doubts pre-Gomez that it was, then he should just retire.

    It has been confirmed: he has no punch resistance at all.

    a lot of world champions are not world class

    The kid is only 21. he has plenty of time to get better

    I am not one of those who has ever believed that AMir is an ATG in waiting. But i stil believe that he can develop into a good world class fighter
