    Khan the future of boxing?

    He's big, he's fast, he's strong... And most of all, he's exciting.

    As we all know, the welterweight division is the division (at least in the US) outside the Heavyweight division that gets all the attention. And Khan is right by that division and may end up there in about a year. And when he does, there's a lot of competition for him.

    Victor Ortiz, the baby face power puncher of the division. Someone who is a stylistic opposite of Khan, with the power to KO him (glass chin or not)

    Andre Berto, still a young lion, if a little overrated. Khan doesn't have Ortiz's power, so it would more likely be a battle of speed. Berto does, however, have the power to take Khan out.

    Mike Jones, he's a solid boxer, with good strength, and most notably height. Probably the only fighter taller than Khan, which would make an interesting match up

    And there r others, but the point simply being there's a lot of competition in these weights, and Khan has the ability to beat all of them. And lets not forget a possible move up to 154...

    Due to being both from the UK and ******, his carry with it a lot of energy, which as we all know can make a dull fight seem a whole lot better.

    And Stylistically, he's one of the most exciting fighters around, the closest thing to Ray Leonard since Prime De La Hoya.

    So basically, the question is: Do u think Khan really has what it takes to carry the sport eg Leonard, Chavez, De La Hoya, and Pacquiao?

      I'm not talking from the prospective of a big Khan fan either. That's just what I see. Gamboa is too flawed, Donaire is too small, Martinez is too old... His best competition would be the super six winner...

          Khan has the potential to be huge but boxing is an ever changing sport one day you’re the best thing since sliced bread the next day you’re a washed up bum or overrated etc etc...

          I believe Khan has the talent and the ability to rise to the top but it will not be easy and there will be plenty of room for error along the long bumpy road to greatness.

            I see him in the top 10 p4p. Not sure whether he will reach the no.1 spot though.

              the next de la hoya

              potentially the greatest british boxer of all time

              the most exciting fighter in boxing after pacquiao

              will be pac's sucessor

              boxing isn't losing to MMA anytime soon

              he just needs to be patient, dont rush your development

              definitely dont get in the ring with mayweather yet- i think khan has the tools to KO mayweather but he also needs to be mentally ready for the amazing boxing skills mayweather has

                    He will probably be the next superstar but its difficult to say,no reason he shouldnt be though,hes fast and exciting plus hes willing too fight anyone unlike a lot of the young guys out there today,only time will tell
