    I think khan as several things going for him (Speed & Punch), but at the same time he lacks several things (Chin, Balance + BASICS)....

    Another aspect to Khan that is yet to be tested is when he actually has to think how he needs to beat his opponent rather than just steam in and hit them, how will he react when he finds that aint gonna work against - say a good counter puncher (IMO he wouldn't stand a chance - because of the lack of his basic boxing skill set)

    I'm by no means slating Khan as I do feel he as the potential to be a good fighter (Note: Good not Legendary) also I think to bring the best out of him would be to change trainers to the likes of Enzo Calazghe or maybe even Emanual Steward....

    But truth be told none us really know where he'll go, But one thing for sure Mr Warren will protect is cash cow for as long as he can by showcasing him against Handpicked fighters that shouldn't be a threat and suit is style in the UK.

      How about cutting Khan some slack - he's only had 15 fights!

      This is the year where we find out what level he's at.

      If you look at the much criticised Limond fight Khan showed he had the ability to change his gameplan mid-fight (after the knockdown). The kid has a lot of talent and a lot of potential, let's see where he's at after 20+fights and established on the world stage.

          I aint attacking him, but he shouldn't of been picking himself off the floor in the first place.... Where did he change his gameplan? he just stepped up the aggression and got busy...

            Khan has potential-I would like to see him change his trainer and get some quality sparring in the states.

              agreed, Hatton fought many bums and he beat Tzysu in a dog fight, not a boxing master class
