    Right, I know there is absolutely no chance of this happening until Gavin actually proves himself as a pro fighter but even with a world title I still think Khan is more suited to the amateur game than the pros (i.e. with some head gear on) and Gavin is a proven Amateur World Champ. If Gavin progresses to be the fighter his potential suggests do you think he could take a title off Khan?? Do you think he'll ever get the chance??

    I dont think Gavin has a chance with Khan. He gets hit with too many. He is still learning. How many fights would have have to fight under Warren to be offered a title shot?

    I guess Gavin is just as arrogant as Khan, Gavin used to spar with Khan and he told BBC WM: "I'd fight Khan tomorrow".

    Khan has got to that big stage now, as long as he maintains it Gavin will be a possible opponent after 3 + years.

    ^^^Yes...Gavin has the amateur pedigree but I don't see him doing much in the pro game, I honestly don't...

    Gavin will be exposed whilst building up experience. As soon as he steps up he will be found out. Did enjoy watching him the other week though when he was thwoing lots of bodyshots but he would not have the time to do that against a decent opponent.
