THE Hottest young prospect in the UK and most probably the world of boxing at present.
See what all the fuss is about.
This is his most recent fight 8)

Im not Amirs biggest fan but I do like that double right hand that he decked him with.
Listening to the commentary makes me cringe. I know they have a job to do but if the paid proffesionals are going ballistic like he's a world beater what is uneducated Joe Bloggs on the street going to think?
Wonder if Barret had a few quid on it being a one round job ;)
He was ranked well above Khan before that fight and unbeaten in 9 ;)
Not his fault he keeps battering all his opponents in that fashion and everyone's gotta climb the ladder in the same way. ;D
We can really start to judge him in december as that was his last 6 rounder. 8)
His hand speed is blurringly fast.
Well Roy Jones fought an 8 rounder in his second pro fight so Amir is some way behind his heroes methinks.
But he is progressing nicely. Actually there are some interesting fights down the line for him, Kevin Mitchell, Ricky Burns, Carl Johannnson, Graham Earl etc.
2007 should be a really interesting year for us fight fans who want to see him properly tested. There is good strength in depth at 130-140 domestically so hopefully we will see him stretched soon.
He'll ruin Mitchell judging by his last peformance ;)
Way too much for him and he'll beat him in every department.
Would be very suprised if Warren put them both in together anyway ;)

You may be right, I like Mitchell though but he does tend to get dragged into a brawl at times.Quote:

Mitchell has got a decent dig on him, although moving up to face Khan may lessen its potency somewhat.
I'd really like to see Khan in with Johannson though. He's a strong kid who would look to bully Amir.
Of the others I think Ricky Burns is a great fighter, but not enough power to win Amir's respect and Earl is just way too inconsistent. He could show up and give Amir a real tough night, or he could just be awful.
For me Khan vs Johannson would appeal to me the most.
have to agree Mitchells KO ratio is far too high ;DQuote:

hes got work to do, but i think the way hes going, hes gunna be big big trouble for any fighter at 130-140 in the next few yrs
absolutely agreed, I want to see him get caught flush, just to see how he handles it. At this rate though yeah he looks good.Quote:
