All Khan will get is hate from articles like this, because boxing scene is populated by ******s.
Khan certainly has the skills, and natural ability to eventually become as polished as Pacquaio is, but maybe the chin will be his downfall at the very top. Saying that, Khan's punch resistance looked a lot better against Kotelnik and he took some flush shots without any problems. I envisage another move up to welterweight would make his punch resistance even stronger.
All in all, Khan is one of the brightest talents in the sport. He has a huge heart and some crazy skills. As a community, we should show him more respect.

skill wise he is a step or two down below manny, heartwise a long way to go, resume wise in a scale of 1 - 10 he is at 0.5. in order to become the next legend or top dog, you have to beat legends and top dogs also. for him t to be even be compared to manny is for him to jump as many weight classes, nvermind the competition faced. Manny is a once in a century type of fighter. he's done somethings nobody has done yet.
