Should Amir Khan have stayed in the Amatuers?

Nah

Look at how big a star he is and how much money he's made. Plus Warren'll get him a title at some point whether he deserves one or not.

De Gale should have stayed amateur.

Okay first and final topic about Amir Khan from me.

After Amir won the silver medal he was planning on going to the 2012 Olympics to win a gold, but at a later date changed his mind and took a contract for around 1 million to become a professional.

We know that a major weakness for him is his 'chin', his punch resistance and this wasn't a factor in the amatuers since they wear protection and why this wasn't picked up at an early stage.

Should Amir Khan have stayed in the amatuers and go for Olympic glory instead of being another fish in the barrel where he cannot compete against world class boxers?

WRONG.

Amir was planning to go to the 2008 Olympics in Beijing to win gold.

Nice to see that you have updated it.

I hate it when people make mistakes in simple things, but they make a difference.

winning a gold medal wouldn't have made him any bigger imho.

hell no, he is in a position most can only dream of, id love to have a taste of that life, i dont begrudge what khan is achieving, i dont think the olympics is better than the pro game, what annoys me is his bull****, i know you got to be posotive but you would think been knocked out in 54 seconds would humble a man, not khan he is stilll ****ing on wi the same ****
