    Amir Khan.. Stop Fighting Feather Fisted Fighters!!

    Now if you look on the WBC WORLD RANKINGS you will see that Amir Khan is ranked 4th the question is how?? You will not see any of his contenders on the top 40, including his last fight against Kristjansen!!
    You will also see on the rankings Jon Thaxton the true geezer www.geezerspalace.co.uk appears 40th, so would you say Amir Khan is ten times better..? I DONT THINK SO!!!
    You also have Yuri Romanov ranked 8th and I think you can tell that Amir Khan would not do to well against the ghost of a figure who would haunt you all night, wait for you to make mistake's then take your bleedin head off!!!
    Now there is protecting your fighter but with Amir Khan I think everyone is getting bored of all the hype and none of the action also, his fighters cant even ****..
    Its going to be very interesting to see if there is anymore feather fisted fighters out there for Amir Khan we must be running out by now, as he has had most of them.. It will be interesting to see him when he steps up to the top level where they all punch hard, I think he's in big trouble!!!

        He's 21! Give him a break..... the day will come when he has to prove his chin as he still has a hell of a lot to prove to boxing world and public (me included) but for now people should just respect a undeniably talented fearless young fighter. His best days are to come at Light-Welter/Welter IMO.

          Kahn's Opponents in total have a KO% of just under 15.... He is being protected.. It's easy to look good when the guy you are fighting.. is smaller than you (How does Khan get to 135 anyway?) and CANT hurt you..

          That's less than 15% folks... look it up and do some math if you dont believe me..

            I like Khan but yes i have just noticed that his opponents cant punch hard. And Amir can. But Amir is at least beating good boxers if not hard punchers. It would be interesting to see what happens when he faces good boxers who can dig a bit as well. Is it hard to find genuine hard punchers or something? There must not be many of them about!

              I was very critical of Khan's performance against Limond, most notably how vulnerable he was to the overhand right and how hurt he was by a decent fighter but not one noted for his punching power. That said, Khan's offense is often spectacular with world class handspeed which makes him a great finisher. Nobody really knows how good or bad his chin is and I suspect it is quite weak but given recent developments in the lightweight division I would be confident of putting him in against any of the current champions although a fight with Romanov first will probably stand him in good stead.

                The next guy he fights will be able to **** Khan is in a bit of cul de sac now what with his high ranking in all the organisations.

                You have to think that Warren putting Khan in with these decent guys though not punchers tells us something but I see a huge, thick, lightweight there who should be able to absorb shots.
