    He's still very young, very skilled and has shown he can overcome adversity. If he had of been a fraud he would have frozen under the pressure and lost. The obvious concern is the fact the other fellow wasn't a heavy hitter yet still rocked Kahn, but I think Kahn is talented enough to win a lot of fights by letting his boxing take care of business. It's still early days.

      He did freeze, the bell saved him, harsh to say he's a fraud, but he is'nt as good as he thinks he is, and his people know this, he will get the easiest fights of his life in he next two fights, he will not take on Thaxton, the only fraud involved is the one who promotes him, one Wank Warren, who will hand pick his fights get him a crappy nobody wants it WBO title then make as much money from him as poss, in the WBO Wank warren controls, there is never a mandatory defence, thats how Eubank, coward joe calzaghe, Jonney the bottler Nelson, and racist Nassem can't drive for **** Hamed, kept it for so long, WBC would,nt stand for it.
      British people are so gullible, time and time again they fall for it, Hamed and Eubank proved this, the British still think that they were world class.

        Khan is 20. He barely had an amateur career and he's barely into his pro one. I said at the time he should have stayed in the amateurs until the Beijing olympics before turning pro when he was ready. It's a testament to his skills that he's already the commonwealth champion after beating a very live and experienced opponent last up.

        My hope is that they don't rush him any quicker.

          Do you know what the word "fraud" means? He maybe overhyped but thats hardly his fault. Any young fighter with potential gets a lot of media attention in the UK.
          How would you suggest he handles himself and career to stop being a fraud and conning the boxing public then if you think thats what he's doing.

            This **** is ****ing annoying. Why do people hate on Khan so much? His good looks? You want his fame or something?

            Shut the **** up already. We all know he has a weaker jaw then most but for goodness sakes he still won the ****ing fight because he has the heart of a champion. I dont get why people keep saying if Limond was a harder puncher Khan woulda been Knocked out, wake up call, HE ISNT and Khan broke his ****ing nose and jaw.

            Nuff said.

                ya but people are downplaying his offensive skills especially his power and hand speed.

                Defense comes along as you get older and wiser.

                  Give the kid a break ! Judge him in 5 years.

                  I do worry that Frank Warren will overprotect him but he only has a year left on a contract with Warren and he is an ambitious kid, if Warren doesn't give him the big fights, he will look elsewhere.

                  I'm sure many of you saw the Amir Khan doco on ITV (it can be downloaded). He is making a lot of money and is highly marketable. IN this sport, one loss can change all of that so i hope he isn't overprotected.

                    make that 2 years they will have to put him in against someone decent who will knock him out by then even you will stop paying good money to see him fighting journeymen or boxers like limond who have no punch

                      i agree kahn can be exciting to watch but he has a GLASS chin he CAN NOT TAKE A PUNCH willie limond has got no power no matter how skillfull you are to reach the top you must have a good chin kahn has NOT got a good chin.
