Amir Khan.. The Great Swindle??

[OptimusWolf]

I think he's fought live opponents considering that he only has 12 fights - its more like welter says - he's con****uously avoided anyone with a punch.

I honestly think he should fight someone with limited skills but a punch to test his chin but with lower risk.

I agree he needs to fight some very live opponents now and should be targetting the british title by the end of the year.

If Geoff's right about being knocked down that often in the amateurs you might well be on to something mind ...

I have heard similar rumours.. But I can not find any proof.. But you know what they say.. where there is Smoke.. there is Fire.

12 you say? Well I didn't know that exactly but I'd imagine to atleast have some sort of patience and not expect him to take on the best of a puncher this soon..

I think what happened to Audley Harrison may happen to Khan

This isnt ment to sound racist of anything but have there been any fighters ever from india/Pakistan/****ladesh that have had decent chins ?

there haven't been many top boxers originating from the subcontinent...yet.

that would make sense....or put him in with someone with an iron chin who won't get ko'd and will give khan several rounds.

i'm sure warren said that the next fight would be for a title though and i reckon he'll negotiate a shot at limmond's commonwealth belt. that seems realistic and in line with warren's plan because limmond is not a big puncher but does have a 28-1 record with his only loss coming against alex arthur.

i'd be suprised if warren puts him in with thaxton next.

Hamed used to get knocked down a lot, mostly because of his unorthadox stance, but he always got back up, so you could argue he had a great/terrible chin.

Naz-Fan...Hamed's parents are from Yemen, which is 2000 miles away from India. The same distance between the UK and Kazakhstan!
Its no where near Asia.

Why mention Hamed?

[The Noose]

Like Audley Harrison, they try to make anyone and everyone into a celebrity.
Its just business.

The more popular a fighter is the more people will watch him. At the momnt they are just trying to build up his reputation as a great young fighter.
Naturally they exaggerrate and hype up Khan.

But in any young fighters career the tests will come with experience. And until then we have to put up with all the feather-fisted victims.

Damn. Looking back on hindsight, the thread starter looks like a damn genius. Nice.
