    Thing is theres a difference between a hype job and a protected fighter thats been getting groomed for his whole career. The plainest example of a hype job in the UK has been Audley Harrison, of late.

    He was supposed to be the succession to Lennox Lewis. The great next man in British boxing and he was too slow and clumsy for the profession. He got put forward for fights when he didn't earn a reputation beforehand.

    Now theres talk he's fighting David Haye? And what has Harrison done to earn a pop at the title?

    Beat Michael Sprott...wow!

        And Sprott was winning every round up until the KO.

                  Khan isn't a hypejob. We saw his boxing ability on may 15, so his skills are legit.

                  You may however have an argument for him being a protected fighter.

                  You have to make the distinction between the two.

                    Khan is an exciting fighter. I'd love to see him go head to head with Alexander next.
