Juan Diaz: "Amir Khan Will Be a Threat"

[Gareth Ivanovic]

Khan definitely has all the talent to be a champ, but I think the one question is that chin. Once he fights a fighter with a big punch then we'll get the answer.

[Nacho_Analstain]

He has a big heart and enough talent and decent trainers to build up a good defence to protect that chin.

If he thinks Amir is a threat I wonder what he thinks of Yuriorkis Gamboa

Hes a sick prospect, he already has a good resume .. he won't be moving up in weight though, hes 26 and fully grown at 5'5

I think Amir's chin has not been put to test to really see if he is chinny. He got floored against Limond with a shot to the side of the head, which can knock anyones equilibrium. Even a weak puncher can land the punch in the right spot. I mean look at Ottke who had 6 KO's from 34 wins, he also landed a similar shot to Mundine knocking him out. As we know Mundine has proven he has a decent chin as he is fought people who are harder punchers than Ottke. I think we should wait and see how he does against a big puncher before labelling him as chinny.

Good point that.

Some neck work outs and Khan will be fine.

I see him going real far.

[Nacho_Analstain]

Khan is always in really good shape too, plus hes built like a brick **** house for a lightweight.

[sparked_85]

I can't believe Khan is lightweight. I just can't believe it.

He's the biggest lightweight I can think off in modern times.

That's why I'd pick him against most of these other lightweights even if he is as yet unproven, he looks a weight class if not two weight classes bigger than lightweight. Plus he's good.

looking forward to it!
