With the right promotion team, meaning the right fights, he can do it.
The division he is in is a difficult one but no doubt his first world title is gonna be Warrens own, WBO (Warren Boxing Organisation), so yeah he can be a world champion within a year. Its just a matter of how credible will his rise be. Will it be 10 difficult fights climaxing in Floyd Mayweather junior or will it be 10 pretty easy fights climaxing in somebody that nobody has ever heard of/rates or thinks will resist Khan. -
I haven't seen the interview, I'll see it later.
But no, he will not be world champion within a year if Frank Warren has anything to do with it... Warren has never rushed his fighters, he told Benn in Dec '87 (when he took over as his manager) that he wouldn't let him fight for a world title until he was 27 (even though he'd of beaten Frank Tate there and then), Khan wants to be retired by 25! Hatton could of been rushed down the European route and had a world title shot against Terron Millett before the New Millenium, but no, Warren was in no rush with his cash cow.. and waited until 2000-and ****ing-5!Comment

Warren's a money man, he told Nigel that he could earn £5million before even fighting for a world title - that says it all! He wanted to milk safe cash from Benn, incase Benn lost a world title shot. Benn left him for Ambrose Mendy about half a year later. But Warren did his his 'Benn plan' with Ricky Hatton 10 years later. He'll do it with Khan.
The only reason he threw Naz in with Robinson was because boxing had been forced off of ITV after Benn/McClellan and Naz's dangerous finish on Liendo, and he knew Naz wouldn't remain a household name on SKY. If boxing stayed on ITV, Warren would of milked Naz for as long as he could, European featherweight titles and so on, WBC International super-featherweight fights and the rest of it, incase Naz failed at world title level and his cash cow had plummeted.
Look at Colin McMillan, Warren always said McMillan was 'Britains answer to Sugar Ray Leonard' and after the Stecca fight said he wouldn't have Sweet C in any unifcation matches 'for a few years' - wanted to milk him first.
He saw Hatton's potential as a household name in Manchester and took him down the milk cow route.Comment
