who is the most protected boxer?

[Dynamite Kid]

I totally agree with most of what you say, but you are ignoring the fact that Khan is just a prospect, working his way up towards the big fights. It is almost as though you want to write him off from the start. His opposition up to this point has been good for a boxer of his experience and harder fights will come. Khan does have a suspect chin, but at this stage it is only suspect. It will be fair to describe him as incredibly protected if he continues to avoid punchers throughout his career, but it isn't yet.

In a division that contains Campbell, Katsidis, Diaz and Casamayor, Khan will have to face a puncher sonner rather than later. It is likely he will face at least one of them (whichever has a belt then) and fight for a world title at 22 or so. That wouldn't be protected would it?

he is blantenetly being protected from punchers at this stage in his career there are plenty of fighters whom at the same stage as Khan have fought Punchers early in thier careers Plenty

Yes, maybe, but presumably they have better chins than Khan does. I'm sure there are few prospects (remember a successful Khan is potentially worth millions to Warren) who are put in with fighters who could really be expected to beat them.

I agree that Khan avoids punchers, but at this stage it doesn't matter. The individual attributes of his opponents are much less important than their overall quality, and their ability to help Khan learn. By beating them Khan has legitimately boxed his way to the fringes of the world scene, and all his big tests are yet to come.

In a way you treating him like the champion you clearly do not believe him to be, by expecting him to prove everything now. The fights he has had so far are not so important in the grand scheme of Khan's projected career as a world class boxer and if he is not up to the task of being one then he will be exposed soon enough.

So please...I mostly agree with you...I just think its unfair to call such a young fighter the most protected fighter on the planet.

my first porter call as a fan is watching competitive fights ,Khans fights are not compeitive because he fights non punchers ,he is protected there is no way of getting around it
