im happy with this,thats a big step up if you think about it,for the amount of fights he has had

Warren all but owns the WBO, like Don King with the WBC.

owns or influnce?

that a big difference because you own you could nearly do what every you want but influnce you could do whant ever you want but you have some limits and other promoters that control the string

Frank Warren = Wbo Belt...

[eazy_mas]

not much evidence in that Frank Warren owes WBO.

he does give them some money or anything and he is not the shareholder

I did not state that Frank Warren owns the WBO.

Is Arabic a more literal language than English?

Agreed, and it will be his HBO debut as part of the Calzaghe-Manfredo broadcast. Good deal for boxing fans.

If he wins impressively I think HBO will salivate over him, try to turn him into the Prince Jr. and get him one more feature showcase fight before a big title fight live from Manchester. Or something along those lines...

WBO rank audley harrison at 12 and holyfield is ranked 13

To be fair, these rankings must be out of date now, surely?

And Jesus, Khan hasn't fought ONE live opponent yet. The boy is gonna get hurt.

I dont think that Willy Limond would hurt Khan. He's not a huge puncher and I think he would try and outbox Khan, which is up for debate as to whether he could actually achieve that. If he did try and swarm forward on Amir then that would be a big mistake as he's a decent counter puncher. And his power is getting better - that punch on Saturday was sweet.

However, were he to fight Katsidis or Freitas then I think there is a real danger that he could get hurt. He needs to fight someone that's got a big punch first - at the moment he can do what he wants as he hasnt fought one fighter with anything you could come close to calling a punch. I think this means he could get quite a shock were he to step up and fight a guy that not only can box but can also punch - as soon as he gets tagged he could lose co ordination etc. It would be a big shock for him IMO. He needs five more fights at least I would say before stepping in against a Freitas or a Katsidis.
