    I understand that he is young and up coming. But how do you see doing against the likes of Julio Diaz, Juan Diaz, Casamayor, Campbell?

      Khan has no punch no chin and is all hype, frank Warren wouldn't dare put him in with a puncher

        If I was honest with you guys, I would say that this kid is going places, every fight I watch him with he improves and you never see him make the same mistake more than once... well rarely anyway.

        I think that he is going to have one more fight before he has a title fight as I believe I heard Frank Warren mention it, I can see him winning a world title but not just yet.... saying that he is getting there.

            To be honest I don't Nate Campbell that highly but I do think his power could be too great for Khans subjective chin at this period of time, I reckon two more fights will enable Khan to mature as a fighter and gain strength (time period and training), as I stated before I reckon Khan can/will beat Campbell eventually... His sleek boxing skills and speed will be too much.

              #correction meant to say "To be honest I don't RATE Nate Campbell that highly but I do think his power could be too great for Khans subjective chin at this period of time, I reckon two more fights will enable Khan to mature as a fighter and gain strength (time period and training), as I stated before I reckon Khan can/will beat Campbell eventually...

                  was Khan switching trainers a good move? I am not too familiar with his old trainer...is the new one better?

                      Oliver Harrison is a young improving trainer, much like Khan in fact and i think that helped their relationship. Now Khan is ending the first stage of his pro career, he has to step up the level of opposition and challenge for the belts, clearly he feels that to do this he needs a more experienced coach, possibly a good yank to help improve his defence. Powell is almost certainly a stop gap, he's been in Khan's corner plenty of times before so it gives him continuity until he finds the real replacement.

                      If he is just a stop gap then why did Harrison get the sack? I haven't heard about them arguing or the working relationship breaking down. It sounded like Khan just wanted to go in a new direction, but if that was the case surely Powell wouldn't have been needed to step in for this fight.
