I think Khan can have some success in the lightweight division. He is a big guy for the weight and clearly has a couple of world-class attributes including excellent speed and good footwork, but I would seriously worry about his punch resistance if he goes up against the best the division has to offer.
If an old, small Barrera who spent the vast majority of his time below lightweight can trouble him -- and a couple of shots Marco landed appeared to do that -- it's hard to see him coping well with what the naturally bigger, younger, stronger and faster opponents will bring.
To maximize success he needs to be careful, take a steady approach and not jump in with any ****ers too soon! On the other hand, it's only possible to reach the top by taking risks and fighting the best. Tricky situation for Khan, and very unfortunate that he wasn't blessed with a world-class chin. Apart from this glaring flaw, he is a very talented fighter with a great deal of potential. Freddie Roach is very good for him.
It's not impossible for Amir to have a great career. Other fighters with weak chins have done it (Terry Norris, for example) but I get the impression it's won't be too long before Khan hits the canvas again. However, I wish him all the best in his career.
