Who Will Have The More Sussessful Run at 147lbs in the Future from Current 140lbers?

[RL_GMA]

Out of the top 140lbers, which do you see having the more successful run at Welterweight in the years to come?

[Bushbaby]

Khan should,he's the biggest of the bunch.Size matters when Ur putting on weight.His frame can handle the weight & it might even help his chin.I'll be the 1st to say it,if Khan had a solid chin,he'd be the best fighter right now,hands down.That suspect chin is his Achilles heel.

[£-4-£]

Khan.

- He's the biggest of the current JWWs. He'll be big even for a welterweight when he moves up in weight.
- He's the fastest of the current JWWs
- He has got very good power that's always improving.
- His skills will improve more.
- His chin/punch resistance will increase more as he moves up in weight.
- He has Freddie Roach, Alex Ariza and GBP behind him too.
- He throws quick, sick combos and has a great jab too.


Khan will move up in weight in December I think. In 2012 I can see him beating Kell Brook and Berto.

Probably Amir Khan

I think Bradley will be too small to do anything other than Cameos at WW, if he fights a big W/W with skills, it will show, a bit like Hatton/Collazo showed Hatton was just too small.

I see Bradley staying at 140, with the odd cameo at 147, Khan will probably end up @154, with maybe a cameo or 2 at 160 for the right opponent

Khan could probably campaign at 160. Arthur Abraham for example is the same height as Khan and he was great at 160. Khan has speed, power and skills so I wouldn't rule it out.

But I think Khan said he wants to retire age 28 or something like that (I doubt he will though)

why do people think khan moving up in weight will help his chin? just cause it helped people like Cotto doesnt mean itll help Khan. Khan isnt drained like Cotto was. Facing a power puncher at 147 would probably be dangerous for him. Hell do well againest decent fighters but if he faced a power puncher in his run at 147, hes out.

Maidana doesnt just KO you, he ends you

He could even win the H/W title (hes the same height as jones and toney)

lol im kidding though

The 135lb version of Khan would of been Ko'd by maidana, quite possibly from that right hand in the first round that clipped him

I'd say Ortiz if he weren't such a flake.

After that, Khan may have the most success, though I'm not all that convinced about his ability to climb multiple weight classes. He could benefit from there not being too much at 147 right now and in terms of prospects (that I've seen).
