who thinks Khan WILL win a world title

i think he will, he just has a lot of bad habits from his amateur days and hadn't really fought any1 that exposed them till prescott. while his chin has looked suspect at times, i don't think u can say he has a glass chin just yet. he's only been ko'd once (as a pro, i have no idea about his amateur record), lets see how he responds to that in his next few fights. he's also got to mature, he's 21 and acts like a tool. he should be worrying about boxing, if you keep winning, that title business usually sorts itself out. and training with Roach can only help

And to make sure we are all on the same page, this means a legit belt. (WBC/WBA/IBF). One of those 3.

I hope he does. I think he will. When he steps up in weight, I think the punch resistance will increase. He's killing himself making lightweight.

Sorry, I should have re-worded by original post. What I meant was the fact that Khan is ARGUABLY not even the best Lightweight in Britain. If he'd fought either Murray or Thaxton before he took on Prescott, then I'd have fancied either of those two to beat him. I think Murray has shown vast improvement in his last few fights and looks an accomplished fighter. Now, with Khan suffering an embarrasing 1st round KO, he's changed trainers so nobody has a clue how he'll perform on his comeback. Maybe Khan has improved too? The public dislike(d) Khan because he started to believe his own hype & started acting like a world champion before getting there, whereas Murray has gone to 23-0 (12ko's) completely under the radar. To be fair Murray has not won an olympic silver medal, nor fought anybody of any note. Khan deserved the attention he was getting, but now he doesn't. Murray needs to take that attention away from him by fighting against a live opponent.

Murray and Thaxton are terrible. Murray has fought 25 fights but not one is a name. Thaxton has lost 8 times. Both have a good chance at beating Khan becasue of his chin, but Khan eclipses them in terms of skill.

who is the best LW in your opinion then? Murray got outboxed by a journeyman in America and arguably should of lost the fight he was getting outboxed by Al Hamedi untill Hamedi got tired that kid is overrated and he gets hit far too much he has no defence what so ever Sorry, I should have re-worded by original post.

who thinks Khan WILL win a world title not could or maybe yes or no do you have faith no sitting on the fence give us your answer he'll probably pick up an alphabet belt somewhere along the line... there's just too many of them

I used to dislike Khan, but I've warmed a little to him since his loss. He seems altogether more humble now he is working with a world-class trainer and sparring with the best fighter on the planet. Time will tell of course, but unlike a lot of you I actually think Khan could not just become a belt-holder, but a true champion. Khan's chin wasn't the real problem, it was more to do with his defence and general fighting style. I've heard Roach is training Khan to use his speed and relexes to box on the outside more. Teaching him to feint, slip punches and counter. All of which sounds right to me. The punches that have caused him problems were all flush punches he didn't see coming, punches that would floor most fighters. I'm not saying his chin is great, but I don't think it's particularly fair to judge it on the knockdowns he has suffered thus far, particularly the Prescott ones. When Khan has a defence, moves his head more and stops with the gung-ho attitude we'll see how his chin really stands up. Wouldn't hurt to move up in weight either, considering he looks huge for a lightweight. I have noticed that myself, he aint been the arrogant cocky person he was. I'm sure I read somewhere that he said Jon Thaxton and Jogn Murray didn't deserve to be in the ring with him prior to the Prescott fight.

yea I think he will. :boxing:

He'll win a belt. I'm pretty sure of that. Behind the glasshouse chin lies a pretty decent boxer.

He will defo be a world champion. Then he will fight Prescott and get Khan'd even earlier.

Yeah he will but he won't face anyone will a realistic chance of beating him until he's about 30

Khan will probably be a world champion eventually, but he won't keep hold of a world title for long as any mandatory with a decent punch will have a great chance of beating him. Anyway, he's currently not even the best lightweight in Britain, nevermind the world. Khan might get a bit more respect from people (British public especially) if he stops harping on about world titles and takes care of fighters in his own back yard (John Murray & Jon Thaxton to name a few). who is the best LW in your opinion then? Murray got outboxed by a journeyman in America and arguably should of lost the fight he was getting outboxed by Al Hamedi untill Hamedi got tired that kid is overrated and he gets hit far too much he has no defence what so ever

Yes he will. Never ever ever ever put him in with a guy who is taller than him, that completely befuddled him and got him starched, he had no ****in idea. With a better defence and massive physical advantages at lightweight coupled with boxing ability he WILL be a champion. Kid is 21.......

I think he will win a world title. He has very good skills. And if Wlad can be a champ with his glass chin, so can Khan.

Yes, he will. In the next 3 years. His opponents are going to be carefully selected, but i'm sure a World Title could be his. Maybe at 140. Its not the greatest division, and Khan is getting too big for Lightweight. That chin is not going to give him the greatest success though. If the likes of Gavin Rees can, i'm sure Khan can.

yup..... he will

Not anytime soon. He ain't beatin JMM, Pac, or Nate.
