      Khan

      Khan was born in Bolton was'nt he so in my estimation that makes him british ,Tony you seem to have a real dislike for this kid have you met him and had a bad experience metting him, that is the only reason i can think of why you dislike him so much

      he may bee hyped up but he is talented he has blinding hand speed and his offence is **** hot ,put it this way they dont give you silver medals if you cant fight

          Khan is British and the press are hyping him up because he won a medal at the Olympics but so did Audley Harrison and look what happened to him.
          I can understand why many people dislike Khan especially young and upcoming fighters in the UK.
          Khan has had a Silver spoon put in his mouth since the Olympics whereas other fighters are still doing full time Jobs and don't get the nutritionist and state of the art Gym that he is getting etc etc etc.
          He is already a millionaire without actually achieving anything in the Pro ranks.
          On top of this he disrespects fighters like he is some kind of Superstar.
          So far he hasn't beaten anyone of any worth and almost got Kayoed by a very light Puncher.
          Some people think his 10 count was longer than it should have been too.
          No doubt he has Talent but the fact is he hasn't had a real test yet and since his little hiccup last time out they are putting him in with another fighter with the power of a 10 year old girl.
          Frank Warren is just milking his little cash cow for as long as possible because the casual fans will still pay to see it.
          Khan has even had an autobiography out already ....I mean what can a 20 year old say abourt his life?
          I haven't read it but apparently it goes something like this.
          "Me and my mates went out in my BMW. Then we drove home".
          The end.
          Personally I think he is going to crash and burn in his first step up at British level never mind World level.
          He keeps his left hand somewhere near his left ankle.

            Amir Khan reminds me of Jason Litzau, they are both extremely talented and they could win titles, but they are both held back by there weak chins. Litzau's chin is better than Khan's though.

              Litzau is much more exciting.
              But a good comparison I agree.

                    Khan

                    Khan is good enough too win a british title come on ,Thaxton ,C.Johannsen , Khan has more ability in his left toe than these 2 do in thier whole ,comparing Khan too Audley is just laughable

                    i can name about 20 previous World Champions that have had questionable durability and that is based on Career were at some time opr another they have been KTFO, not 1 fight where they have been shaken up and people come to the estimation you cant take a shot

                    i agree he is hyped up massively and we all know what the british press are like England are gonna win the World Cup ,Rooney is the best playeer that ever lived ,but come on with eperience this kid is easily goo enough to win a British title

                    Kevin lueshing ,Neville Brown ,Crawford Ashley ,Dennis Andries ,Carl Thompson

                    IMO all of the above had questionable chins but some were World Champions and some British Cahmpions or and at least fought for a World title
