Re: The most optomistic Amir Khan post of all time
So I guess I'm the only one who thinks Graham Earl is going to beat Amir Khan.
Re: The most optomistic Amir Khan post of all time
To be fair, some of the people ridiculing that post would make something similar.
Plenty of people on here don't understand that if everyone fought the hardest comp available for every fight no-ones career would last five minutes.
Re: The most optomistic Amir Khan post of all time
Not as long as he's still managed by Frank Warren.
We're talking about the same Frank who wouldn't allow Joey C outside of the Uk save once, who has got Sellars for Macc and who Ricky split with for feeding him easy fights.
Re: The most optomistic Amir Khan post of all time
If Joey C wanted to leave the UK he could of. FW is a nightmare for boxing fans but can't be blamed for everything.

Amir Khan is likely too fight Graham Earl on December 8 2007. If you were his promoter who would you put him in with in 2008, i will make some recommendatetions and explain my reasoning.
March: Jon Thaxton, he is a reasonably domestic boxer but has seen better days and at 33 time is not on his side, also he is the British Lightweight Champion, by KO in 5 to 8 rds
May: Nate Campbell, he is a good old american pro but in march he will be 36, dealing with Amirs fast footwork and quick hand speed will make it impossible for campbell to not sucumb, by KO within 6 to 8 rds.
July: Joel Casemayor, he will be 37 the american based cuban would have seen better days and ripe for the taking by a quick young lion like Khan, also he is ranked No1 by the ring magazine and being a cuban this will be like Amir's old ameteur foe (Mario Kinderland), by KO 5to 8 rds
September: Alecio Freitas, he is about 34 and was the WBO's champ until met Juan Diaz in April 2007, would be a good test for Khan too see if he can do better than take him out in less than 8 rds which is what it took Juan Diaz.
December: The by then undisputed lightweight champ holder off (WBC,WBA,IBF and WBO lightweight champ)Juan Diaz. Diaz will be 25 and Khan 22 both men should be in their prime Diaz is 5'6 short and stocky, Khan as we all know is 5'10 tall and rangey. I feel this fight has to be made. If Khan is too gain boxing superstardom in the USA where it matters and make the
$$$$$$$. Khan by way of KO any round after 5. I feel Khan is a bit like a young ODH at this weight big body frame for the weight.

You must be fucking kidding me. Jesus Christ some people are really dumb.

once earl is done with i see him fighting thaxton. if he gets through thaxton i think romanov could be next. and then....some obscure name the minute the wbo belt is vacated.
if frank warren can get gavin ress a world title he sure as hell can get amir kahn one.
Re: The most optomistic Amir Khan post of all time
I can see this guy writing about Khan in 2009.
Amir Khan vs. Wladimir Klitschko
Khan 11 year age advantage should make him the fresher fighter. Although Klitschko has power and is the bigger fighter, he won't be able to land against the ultra quick Khan. Klitschko will get tired and then look for Khan's amazing hand speed to take over. Khan KO any round past the 3rd.
