    Like you said, he's still young. If he keeps fighting top tier opposition he'll be there soon.
    Bradley is the key. I see alot of posters saying this. That fight will be a make or break for Amir.

    Bradley is like Freeza. Amir will either turn into a Super Saiyan and beat him or he will remain a Piccolo. Good but not special.

      dont win one or two fights. they have a legacy.
      pacquiao has been fighting for what ? 10 years ?
      other fighters have faded during that time.
      Time and opposition, IMO. In order to have a great legacy, you have to beat great fighters. After 140, Amir can move up to 147 and fight a Berto. But who else is he gonna fight?

        Once he takes Bradley apart, he'll be considered up there

          Sometimes confidence can be the difference between a very good fighter and an incredible fighter -- I think we are seeing this with Sexy Sergio at the moment. Roy Jones made the remark during the fight that he feels Sergio's apparent increase in power is down to his confidence and I feel that can be applied to everything else too.

          Despite being impressed by Khan's courage and mental strength in the Maidana fight I still have my reservations about him as a best-of-the-best level boxer, but maybe a bit more experience against top quality opposition will help him iron out some of the technical imperfections and naïvetés that are present at the moment and, provided he keeps winning, instill a real world-beater's belief in him.

            At this point, I don't see it even if he beats Bradley and/or wins a title at 147.

            He can be a pretty good fighter and while he's mentally tough and driven, he's too rough around the edges for me to say that he will be.

              Bradley is a very tough fight. It has the potential to be one of those fights fans will argue about years after about the split decision/draw.

              Once he gets past him then he would already be in the Top 10 P4P but it depends on how he his handled opponent wise from then on.

                It all depends on how his career goes after the loss to Bradley.

                  He has the skills there is no question, i think he will prove this against Bradley as i think he copes well under pressure.... Khan i think in a couple of years will bring Mayweather out of retirement and beat him...
