    is Khan a natural 147 or 154 like Ortiz?

    Ortiz is a natural 147 or even 154.. he came into the Berto fight at 161

    previously i suspected Khan would be better at 147 and seeing the Ortiz - Berto fight just proves it for me.. khan is less of a fighter at 140, just like ortiz was..

    can't say the same for bradley i guess, he didn't do great against abregu but i think it suits khan perfectly at this point in time.. then maybe a year or two and 154..

    i think khan should be best at 147, but who knows, he maybe able to go to 154 as he gets older.

      I'd say in between 140 and 147. He's a lean guy, definitely not as bulky/muscular as Ortiz or Berto.

            This is why I said most of these Jr WWs should stop killing themselves and take their business up to 147. Paulie's lookin' better at 147, Ortiz looked better, I'm certain the same would happen to Lamont and Amir Khan.

                  agreed man.. i think these guys should move up.. 140 is just a stop-over weight.. the exception might be bradley, is he a natural 140 because he seemed weaker at 147.. like ortiz, khan should be stronger when he moves up.. and he should get rid of those reebok gloves..

                    his chin is much better at 140 than 135.. those shots maidana landed would have knocked out most others at 140..

                    so if we go by history khans chin should be bulletproof at 147
