    But winning by knockout and becoming Commonwealth champ in his 13th fight is good. I'd hardly say he's a bad professional. Will he ever be a world champion? Oh he may pick up a title but I doubt he'll be anything outstanding. He's still better than awful and he's still very young. He'll probably have a world title tilt before his 20th fight and it's Frank Warren's job to get him there in one piece and keep him learning along the way. That's where his amateur career helped him, by getting him a promoter who will bring him along rather than throwing him away.
    Yeah, listen which ever way you dress it up, Limond was another nobody set up by warren to get hurt, i dont care that he only lost one fight. and Khan gets tagged clean by nobodies, so far he has shown that he hasnt learnt his lesson.

    So yes, on paper Khan has done well, but when you look deeper, there are problems.

      Khan has never been really hurt by anyone until Limond. Now he has been shown a lesson worth learning. Perhaps he would never have been in with the Commonwealth champ if the Commonwealth champ was a known puncher but the fact remains that he won and he won by knockout. So he's not doing badly.

        include the fact that he he just fought 13 times.

        most amercian dont know what is commonwealth or european champion is like.

        but give them idea it like the USBA and regional titles which is good start for contenders

          He does show some weaknesses and the punchers will be rubbing their hands together but Khan is likely to learn more from this fight than he has in his previous 12.
