why not start clearing out 140?
Khan's resume?

Names wise it's ok for his age. For a titlist it's ****, though.
If you look past the names and take note of how he had the absolute **** caned out of him by a guy who's gone on to be incredibly limited and pretty awful, struggled against significantly older fighters who spent their careers one or two weight classes below him, his dull-as-dishwater title-fight against a guy even he named as "the worst champion ever", and how he's struggled and been decked against some of the aforementioned people even with his massive height, reach, speed and home-town/referee advantages, it suffers even more.
He's certainly on the up, but thus far I am really not impressed with him.Comment

If Khan fights at 140 for the first time for a world title trying to **** and loses, then he still gets no credit but abuse. Also he has no title.Names wise it's ok for his age. For a titlist it's ****, though.

Prescott was a **** fight fohim but it has been a blessing.
As for the past fights, he was inexperienced vs guys who had it, and ofcourse flaws show. His skills may be above them but for being so young, you do make mistakes. He also was with a trainer who isn't great as freddie is. Right now he beats everyone he has fought but much worse, including Prescott.
A good coach makes a big difference. Every top sports team pays good money for good coaches and managers.
At 140 he seems comfortable making weight.Comment

The only reason he has a win against Barrera is because of the hometown bull**** referees, allowing the grotesque cut go past four rounds to give him the W.Comment

Khan is HOF 5 years from now and will be ATG for another 3 years... Too early to judge and say he is poor or bum...Comment

Gomez is a featherweight at best, Limmond is a featherfisted nobody, Barerra was shot 3 years ago and thats being conservative, St Clair was coming off 2 losses from 3 at Superfeather.
Do you know ANYTHING about boxing? sheesh.Comment

Naz's resume wasn't that good, Hatton's was crap until he fought Tszyu, Maussa, Urango etc..
Khan's resume is pretty decent for a 22 y.o. Graham Earl, Willie Limond, Barrera (over the hill though), Kotelnik (people don't give him enough credit for beating Maidana), and now Salita (who was more sheltered than Khan, but nevertheless 30-0-1 is a good record).Comment

Naz at the age of 22 resume wasn't the greatest but he has a pretty damn underated resume overall imo. Khan is a 22yr old silver medalist/World Champ who has fought some decent fighters you can't say much more really. He showed grit/determination to bounce back from the humiliation of the Presscott KO.Naz's resume wasn't that good, Hatton's was crap until he fought Tszyu, Maussa, Urango etc..

Beating Klotenik, Salita, Barrera (im 100% sure cut or no cut he would) he is looking very decent for 22 and i don't see many fighters of this era with a better resume at 22..Comment
