    Is Amir Khan's wealth and fame limiting his in ring potential?

    Virgil Hunter brought this up recently and I think it's a great point. He's been a millionaire since 17 and is financially set for life and he seems to be caught up in the superstar lifestyle. He focuses on boxing 6 months a year and spends the other half travelling around the world; he may only fight just the once this year. All the charity work he does is great don't get me wrong but I think Virgil has a point, he's ao devoted to all these extra-curricular activities and as a result his boxing suffers. He COULD be "great" but he may never reach his sealing because unlike the greats, he's not in the gym all year round. Do you agree?

    I'd say his chin, low boxing IQ, poor execution and generally annoying self are limiting him

      Who wouldn't rather hand out free food to refugees than get knocked clean out again?

        Khan's a chinnny, chicken legged spastic with zero ring IQ.

          Reach his ceiling? He's 28, and has been a pro for almost a decade. He's as good as he's going to get. Unfortunately for him and his fanboys, that ceiling is well short of elite.

            Even if he was broke, he would still have that biscuit chin and money can't buy you intelligence.

              It's the fear of getting KTFO'd again.

                  Probably those few times he's been relieved of his senses. They left permanent damage it seems.

                    Amir Khan has the weight of a whole culture on his shoulders. It's remarkable he is able to perform under so much pressure. Any other fighter would crumble, but Khan shines and beats the best in the world.
