Amir Khan: "I will be world champ next year"

[medium-deek]

Just a change from the customery Frank Warren bashing that goes on here. Warren didn't do too badly with Naseem Hamed during the period Hamed was with Sports Network. So, I very much doubt Warren will be protecting Khan with meaningless defences if Khan gets the WBO belt.

I think khan is rushing a bit but i think the earl fight was stopped a bit early. He needed earl to be a toughter test as it will help him in the future. If earl weathered the storm like he did katsidis it might have worried khan a bit and then we would see other bits of khans character being revealed

[-Swizzy-]

it would be too soon. he should wait atleast 2 years and avoid the diaz's for now. he should fight the bottom half of the top 10 lightweights(peterson, raheem, romanov, campbell, santa cruz) for now and if he beats them than he is ready without any excuses. I think he has the skill set to dominate that division.

warren didnt do that great with hamed, hamed ditched him in the end.

i know warren gets a lot of stick here, but he does like to stick to his wbo/meaningless defenses formula with his big names.

i dont think warren will even take the wbo route with khan, if khan is that adamant he wants to be a world champ by end 2008 hes looking at ibo/wbu. divad, you should check kevin mitchell out if your not sure, he is a more well rounded fighter than amir and has definitely settled into the pro's better, physically quite a bit smaller than khan at this stage though

Everybody is saying Khan and the WBO belt.

Remeber Katsidis has a granite chin and hits harder than anyone in the lightweight division. I don't see Khan coming out of a fight with Katsidis alive, I really don't!!!!

I was worried that Earl might be a tough fight for Khan but he proved me wrong, although i did beleive Khan would beat earl. I would worry with Khan going in with Katsidis but we saw Kat be hurt by earl so yoiu never know.
Khan might be wise to steer clear for a while, but knowing Khan, he will want Katsidis as his next opponent.
I think khan is a bit more special than your tipical british young talent though. Khan would beat Katsidis further down the line, and even now it would competitive
