    Khan isn't ready for this yet. He may be in a year or two but not yet.

      He showed improved defense in his last fight but he'd still lose to Campbell and Casamayor right now. It's too early for him.

        If there's anyone who's not going to rush a prospect i'm sure its warren. Are there any instances where rushing a prospect has actually paid off?

          Don't worry, neither one will give him that opportunity.

              I wonder if Warren is serious about putting Khan in there against good opponents like Campbell and Casa. I hope he is because I would actually like to see Khan fight one of those guys.

                  Wilfred Benitez winning the WBA 140lb title at 17 years old? Mike Tyson? I agree with you though, 95% of the time they lose and their careers (and their confidence) are never the same. I'd give Khan about another year.

                    Holyfield is another one.
