Juan Diaz: "Amir Khan Will Be a Threat"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former WBA/IBF/WBO lighteweight champion Juan Diaz tells Setanta Sports that lightweight prospect Amir Khan of Bolton will become a serious threat at 135-pounds. [details]

[Silencers]

Khan needs to improve a few things before he can fight and beat the best of the division.

I saw Juan Diaz and Amir shake hands at the Calzaghe-Hopkins weigh in. There is obviously respect brewing for Amir since he's young and already becoming an accomplished fighter.

[IwatchBoxing]

Hes gonna beat everyone at Lightweight.

Gotta wonder how long the career of Diaz will last without the finishing power to spare himself sustained engagements. He's got people wondering about him these days..

Ring magazine also has high praise for Khan recently.

Neck exercises can help improve it a bit.

The truth is we don't really know whether he has a poor chin or not. For all of his pro career Khan has been very young and I would think his chin will improve as he matures.

He got knocked down and put in serious trouble against Limond, but he did get back up again to win.

We have to wait until he gets hit again to really find out, but I agree the feather fisted nature of his competition is good reason to be su****ious.

There are no scary punchers at lightweight but some decent ones. Lack of a chin is the only thing I see stoppin Khan from a good future at 135, aside from him gettin rushed into a big fight he ain't ready for yet, which might also happen.
