    Hopefully St. Clair will give Khan some rounds, which seems to be the case since St. Clair hasn't been stopped. Should be a decent test for Khan as he seems to want to fight for a title by the end of the year.

      i have to say i've not seen anything of him

      be interesting to see how much of a threat he actually poses

      my biggest question is how hard does he hit?

        division super featherweight
        rating 33 / 819
        nationality Australia
        alias Superman
        residence Sutherland, New South Wales, Australia
        birth place Georgetown, Guyana
        stance orthodox
        height 5′ 4″
        reach 65“
        won 39 (KO 17) + lost 5 (KO 0) + drawn 2 = 46

        less than 50% KO rate, but I guess this is still one of the bigger punchers Khan has faced. He is 5'4 though.

            That is short. I doubt Khan will get in there against someone with a high KO percentage until he fights for a title. I doubt Warren want to risk the cash cow that Khan is.

                There is a very big size advantage but still this is a very solid test for Khan, St Clair gave Chico a pretty good fight and Chico is the same height as Khan. St Clair is a former super featherweight world champion so can't be taken lightly but I expect Khan to pass the test. If he can Knock St Clair out i'll be very impressed. I'm more excited about this fight than the Earl fight,

                  How tall is Amir Khan? Is he really the same height as the late corrales?

                    Well I am only Going on Box Rec Here.. but he has lost to Corrales,Vivian Harris, and Leonard Dorin..
                    As mentioned he is Tiny In comparriosn.. Khan Looks like he could be fighting at JR Welter at least and possibly Welter some day..

                    Of course this is just more trickery on team Khan's part.. A former champ.. yeah.. for 1 fight.. and at 2 weight classes below....
