can Amir Khan be no1 P4P one day?

[typeone]

Amir can be an all time great to be honest!! He has the skill speed footwork and brains...When I see him fight I dont know why, But I think a real beating now at this early stage would do him the world of good..I can't put my finger on it why I think this way.. I think he will learn greatly from a good slag now rather then later, i would put him in with a damn good fighter now just to show him yes his good but to do the job he must have fear, All great fighters fight with fear in the back of there mind thats what makes them do the job..Just my M.O

how can you even predict this kid will be the top dog in boxing when he hasnt beat nobody? i saw his fight on hbo against some bum who wouldnt even fight back. is it just me or do all the british fighters fight soft opponents like this for a long time? i cant say he can be p4p until he fights a top fighter in his own division.

No No No No No.

I rarely make outright statements on here but there is no way Amir Khan is going to be a p4p fighter. he doesn't have real power, he's not physically strong, he's not composed when he gets tagged, and he is showing signs of falling in love with himself.

The guy is lightning quick and an extremely accurate puncher, but I can't see him being more than a milked Warren titlist at best. Credit to him for taking on decent opposition though in Limond, who is almost European level.

lol so are you describing floyd mayweather the current p4p king?

sounds veryy similar

you make a good point and i agree

but everyone fights bums at the beginning of their career

i hope he doesnt continue to for long but he has great skills and a very impressive amatuer career

well you got that one kid from russia hw povetkin and many people think he is the next great hw. he has 13 fights but he already beat some good fighters even donald just last week who barely lost to the former champ valuev. i can understand the hype for someone like povetkin but i dont understand how you can get up on khans nuts when he got like 13 fights to but they all against bums.

hey im not the one that started the thread im just commenting on it

i am a fan because i like his style and is it possible he ends up a p4p best....ya def

but you gotta beat the best to be the best and that will take a while

[Tysonisgod]

he is gonna be like ricky and joe n ever other fighter frank has or had control of, he is gonna beat guys in UK, maybe have a few lesser fighters from USA or Euro come to UK n fight him, never get beat n say he is the best in his divison when there is another 3-2000000 guys who could beat him lol

[The Raging Bull]

There's a lot of prospects that I rate higher than Khan at the moment and under Warren I don't see him getting huge world title fights anytime soon.

I feel he'll be an overprotected fighter who will probably win the WBC belt and keep it for a while before a real challenge comes along.

He has lightning hands and good footwork but his power is overrated, he doesn't sit on his shots to add power, he jumps around like an amateur and doesn't have the best of chins so it seems.

He has time to improve but his ego is becoming really big and this could hurt him in the future.

[Ryn0]

He's young and still a propect he's fought nobody yet i'm not bashing him he's just young. He has the skills not sure about his chin or defense. He got tagged quite alot with Drilzanes right hand if he comes up against some one with real power at this stage then i think he's screwed but he can learn and perhaps get a world title but no one can make a judgement as to say he will be p4p king any time soon although he may get a title shot soon considering that hes ranked 11th on WBO title.

[rooq]

nah..not into this predicting p4p greats before they've even proved themselves at domestic level!

khan is a prospect with potential. thats all anyone can and should say at the moment. if he can stay at lightweight i reckon he has the physical tools to achieve a lot, but we'll just have to wait and see if he has the right mental attitude to be a great fighter.
