For a 23 year old his resume is OK but he is being sold as a future great and his resume so far particularly as he has been heavily protected in his match making does not warrant the media hype and expectation around him. He has not had one competitive defining fight that makes you think this guy can go all the way but he has had a disastrous KO defeat to a journeyman that makes you think he will come up short at the highest level. If you are going to be sold as the real deal and talk the talk you have to walk the walk. You can't have it both ways and have any credibility.
      People lose hell B.Hopkins lost his first ever fight, people need to get out of the mind set that you lose that 0 you are done. Yeah it was disastrous KO defeat he has bounced back pretty well since..

      Im from the UK no one except extreme Khan stans (like the one who post here a bit waxa or something) and skysports/frank warren think Khan is some future great.

        I know the poster you're talking about and it's not directly towards him. I see plenty of people saying he could beat some the best in his division and how he's a future P4P star. I can't go back to them because I don't save their quotes, but there have been.

        If you think he's overrated, then good for you. We think alike. But please don't act like you speak for everyone else.

          The truth is Khan wipes the floor with everyone at 140 except Bradley and Pacquaio, and probably Hatton

              A perfect example.

              If he got knocked out by a lightweight in Prescott, what makes you think he could take Maidana's punches?

                i don't particularly like khan, not much against him. he is just way to hyped for being unproven. however he is very young. he looks strong and he has some pretty good skills but until he takes a good punch his chin will be very suspect.

                  Pacquiao got knocked out by unknown bums, what makes you think he could take Cotto's punches?

                  See the problem in that

                    Those knockouts came by body shots and his body has improved dramatically. He's stronger than he's ever been before.

                    The ability to take a punch is different from how strong your body is.

                      I speak for the majority, you seem to be attacking a small minority, snootz is telling it how it is:
