    From a fight fan's point of view, the problem with Khan is...

    He's probably not going to be in any great fights.
    As soon as a guy touches him he's likely to be KOed. But if he wins it will be a one-sided offensive assault like an RJJ fight where the other guy doesn't land anything.

    That's exactly right. If Khan wins he does so in one sided fashion simply outclassin his opponents, and if he loses it happens in the early rounds froma KO punch.

      Well to be fair, most fighters as a significant KO threat erode as a fight goes on.

      He could be in some good scraps.

      Amir Khan vs Paulie M would be good. lol

        The Gomez fight was brilliant, the Limond fight was pretty decent too...

            Nah, I think Malignaggi currently would get beaten badly by Khan, and I doubt he has to power to really hurt Amir.

              Khan has alot to do now, he's earn some respect back from his loss and has the chance to do things right under Roach.

              How far he will get, who knows?

                I think the main problem is he is so full of ****, you should here what he has been saying after this win over Barrera not that it is a win in my eyes it was just stopped on cuts.

                "I know if he would have stayed in that fight another two rounds he would have got knocked out," Khan said.

                "I caught him with some clean shots and I won every round easy. It felt easy in there and I want to fight as soon as possibly now.

                "It didn't seem as if I got out of second gear. I wanted to use my brain and box the guy. It just seemed so easy in there. It was a make or break fight for me but I made him look ordinary.

                "In a couple more fights I will be there with the best. A lot of people said I was finished after the Prescott fight but that just made me train harder."

                this to me is bull****, he did nothing to prove anyone wrong, i think in a rematch with no cuts by round 4 or 5 Barrera would have Khan figured out, just hope there is a rematch.

                  I think both those out comes are pretty entertaining anyway. I mean there's not a lot better in boxing then a brutal KO, or impressive speed, combination offensives.

                  But there are other outcomes, he has been knocked down and come back.

                  To be honest, how many out comes of a fight can there really be. You can often predict the outcome of a fighters fights based on their style and history. Not worth obsessing over imo.

                    Khan's hand-speed is a real life saver when you consider how bad the chin is. Like some have mentioned already, his been in some really good scraps with Gomez and Limond. Both fights were brilliant to watch.

                    Khan vs Mitchell would be good.
