    Murray is the fight that will really prove Khan. I hate to say it but I think Khan would slaughter Earl. In Earls last fight he left his chin exposed too much. With Khans speed and power he would dominate him.

      His unorthodox style made him unbalanced at times, he was up quicker than he went down. Anybody who says otherwise shouldn’t be watching this sport.

        Yeah anyone who stands infront of their opponent with their hands by their sides is not going to last very long if they cant take shots.

          Maybe...but Earl can punch and wont just run away scared like most of Khans opponents so far. We still need to see how good Khans chin is and even with his speed he wont be able to avoid getting hit the whole fight.

            Khan needs to fight the top British fighters now. He's had 12 fights now which I think is enough to start operating at the top level.

            Is he packing glass? How on earth would anyone know. I put the KO records of his opponents down to Warren's protection of his investment. Nothing more, nothing less. I think we might be looking for conspiracies where they don't exist.

              I remember seeing him decked in the amateurs but he got up to finish the fight and won on points. Warren is worried about his chin, definitely.

                Well there is No conspiracy..But there is a pattern.. None of the guys he has fought could be classed as Anything but featherfists..

                    Khan is immensly talented but with Warren he will be fed a constant stream of featherfisted clubs fighters until he picks up the wbo belt and then defends it against more featherfisted club fighters. My advice to him would be to move to another promoter who actually will get him the big fights his talent deserves. We havent seen his chin tested, accept when he was a 17 year old amatuer so i wouldn't like to pass judgement on it yet.

                      Yes, but that doesn't mean he's packing glass. I mean, he might be, but this doesn't prove it.
