    amir khans got no power from what I've seen and looks pathetically weak, does he even strength train with weights??? the moment he gets in there with a slugger like hatton who actually has natural strength, he'll be finished. The closest he'll get to a belt is the WBO, but he'll never be a p4p fighter. You'd think at this stage he'd begin to show what he's really made of, but no, he doesn't even have the brutal power that Fernando Vargas had early in his career to knock his opponents out for the count. All he does is throw flurry after flurry after flurry, and TKO them amateur style, once he fights a guy who'll fight back, I doubt he'll last long.
    This guy clearly knows nothing about boxing......... Look at Khan's arms they are huge. Does Floyd mayweather have one punch power? Do Joe Calzaghe? Does Bernard Hopkins WTF!!!

    Don't compare his career to Vargas' cause Fernando was a shot fighter by the age of 27/28 and will end up being remembered as nothing! so that is nothing like the blueprint Amir should be following! He will def make the top 5 and be remembered in higher esteem than ricky hatton. you don't beat 3 time olympic chamions at 18 years unless you are pretty special!

    Just cause he isn't American doesn't mean he is not a prospect. He has more talent the Berto, Ward and botrh Dirrells comdined...... you will all see!

      amir isn't a prospect because he isn't a slugger?

          I highly doubt it, and i would have said that before this weekend too, he can improve but someone above made a good point about him fighting Amatuer style and how thats a disadvantage for him.

          His chin is suspect and his defense is horrible at times, in his last 2/3 fights he has been hit clean repeatedly by absolute nobodies.

            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.
            Lets hope its for the interim title, i'd love to see katsidis snap this little kid.
