I think it's going to be a while before he wins a word title, 2-3 years maybe.

I don't know if he can defend it either, but it's early days, if he can work a solid defense I can see him going very far.

[Nacho_Analstain]

yeh,i think hes a really good prospect,hes confident and has the skills,still abit amateurish,but hes fairly new to the pros,definately got speed,and he aint short of power either

too much exposure too early.

they are going to have to play it very carefully now, as there could end up being a lot of disillusioned fans who have only got into boxing because of the khan hype machine. if he gets exposed it could be very bad for the popularity of boxing in this country.

as for his potential, there has been visible improvement in each of his fights and if he keeps it up i think he can go far enough to win the WBO belt and may be more...whether he can do this at light-welterweight I don't know.

if WANK WARREN has anything to do with it, it will be the WBO for the rest of his life then quite when someone good comes along.

Khan is above average at best! He will go down the same road as Hamed and Calzaghe, fighting chumps and receiving the praise and adulation of millions (idiots)! Not to mention increasing his bank balance!

I said exactly the same thing about Audley Harrison and everyone laughed, ermmm, what happened to him - isn't he now working behind the perfume counter at Boots? If given a decent opponent, Khan's career would also be destroyed, but that will never happen, as all his opponents are very carefully hand-picked!?!

Anyone who believes that Khan is world class, are the idiots who tipped Hamed to beat Barrera; one so-called armchair boxing pundit actually told me that he had watched the Tyson-Hagler fight and had seen Hagler drop Tyson in the 3rd round!!! Khan is targeted at just these types of muppets - who believe anything!

I can't believe just how gullable the British people are!!! I'll bet anyone here, that Khan goes for the WBO title (surprise surprise) and fights substandard opposition!?

French fighter lined up for Khan. Amir Khan will face Rachid Drilzane in his 10th professional contest at London's ExCel Arena on December 9.

The 28-year-old Frenchman has won 10 of his 13 fights although he is yet to claim a victory inside the distance.

Khan, who will turn 20 the day before the show, said: "I have had a good look at Drilzane. He is not a bad fighter but I will not let him ruin my birthday."

Khans definitely has talent,hes improving still and has good hand speed. I agree that he will have a world title in 2-3 years.

Wow aren't you insightful, I wonder who's alt you are?

Also anyone knowledgeable will tell you that the WBO title is a genuine title these days and besides the title means **** its the boxer or the champion that counts!

Khan is a good prospect, no more no less at this stage.

yeah once again fighting a guy who can't break popcorn with his punches.

it is easy to forget, and i have myself when criticising some of his past opponents is that khan has had 9 fights and has been a pro around 16 months.

look at the first 16 months of any boxers pro career...who were pacmans first ten opponents...what about mayweather? tha difference is that they haven't had tv exposure since their debut and not tha expectation/hype surrounding them.

i have to watch him for another year at least to see how he's progressing and what kind of prospect he is.
