Does anybody else think that standing at 5' 10'' and looking at the size of his frame, Amir Khan should be fighting at Welterweight or even Light Middle???? Rather then fighting blown up featherweights?!?!?! He even towers over Kotelnik and is 3 inces taller then Hatton. Margarito is only 1 inch taller at 5' 11''. The guy and Frank Warren are cheats and think us boxing fans are all stupid.
Wow i know khan has haters around, but at least bring up valid points...blown up featherweights?? name a few then lol....how much can people exaggerate jhezzzzz.....
And hes also now cheating? LOL cant believe some people are really that dumb.....why do u think they go by weight in fights...if it was height everything would be wrong....your either small and stocky or big and thin....thats boxing....
Man!! I thought Barrera was a blown up featherweight, but it turns out he even moved UP to FEATHER to fight Hamed thats how small the guy was. Tell you what why don't Khan fight that new guy thats 4 foot something, then he'd be in the shit!

as long as he can make 135 lbs or 140 lbs he can fight there.
no doubt khan will end up a 154 lber by the end of his career.
uhm... literally everyone he's fought bar Prescott was not a natural lightweight
OK so when you say natural are you refering to where they started? Because this guy is making it out to be like everyone khan faught stepped UP a weight division to fight him...if a person has stepped up and is fighting good at the weight...why are they refered to as "blown up" when they lose?....if manny lost to hatton would he of been called a blown up featherweight? I doubt as he looks amazing at LWW. Even at WW manny looked good, but LWW looked perfect for him.

I think you're quite right. I'm not a fan of Amir's, but I make an effort not to hate, & treat my posts with objectivity. It's just like any fighter though. Each has his flaws, and those who dislike him for whatever reason will often expound upon that to the degree that they see his talents as null and void. One of the reasons for which Khan attracts so much haters is that his biggest flaw is his chin. Weak chins are not looked kindly upon in NSB, much moreso than a slow workrate, lack of defensive abilities, or being an all around one-dimensional fighter.

No. Khan is not too big. There is nothing wrong with giving oneself every possible advantage, so long as you're doing it legally. In fact, it's smart. Khan is a seriously flawed fighter, and there are much bigger things for which one can pick on him other than his choice of weight class.
if he can make weight it's cool.
he was a massive lightweight, especially considering he never fought any natural lightweights but at light welter the size advantage wont be so big
khan just has that build - i dont think anyones a cheat just becasue they're big for the weight. if anything we should recognize that fighters like haye, williams, margarito and corrales really pput themselves through the grinder, the dedication that they have to training and prep should be applauded.
no boxer is cheating by trying to make the lowest weight he possibly can, tats bull. boxing has weight categories not height categories.
anyways as for khan yes he does have a very big frame, hes alot taller than most of his opponents at LW and would probably be alot taller than most of his opponents at LWW and WW.
but despite the big frame he has a weak build, he is all bones and his legs are too thin, that is one of the reasons why he is so chinny, his legs go rubbery as soon as he is tagged. he also doesn't have much strength behind his punches, alot of his KO's have comew from speed and accumulation of punches.
it makes me laugh when people say the boy has skills - the one time he was put in there against a genuine LW/LWW of the same size and same height he couldn't even last a round. if he genuinely had good skills then he would know how to sit in the pocket and fight, ala mayweather vs corrales.
amir doesn't have skills at all he has physcial advantages that to date he has been allowed to use to bully smaller fighters who have been blown up to FW
