Stop putting Ono on the end of every sentence.
Your Jedi Mind tricks aren't going to work on me this time.....ICE
Yeah suppose he's not everyone's cup of tea. Each to their own and all that. Just surprised that a few more Brits would rather see him brutally ko'd than be a world champion. Maybe they are going for a realistic approach :D
I'm still backing him Ono, he's an exciting fighter to watch and is young enough to bounce back. He needs to work on his defence but he's by no means done. He can still be a world champ, there have been plenty of fighters with weak chins who have won belts, a lot will depend on Frank's ability to pick the right opponents.
But I really hope he does it, he's probably the most exciting fighter in the uk and with Hatton and Calzaghe soon to retire we need him to do well for the good of british boxing.
The Lightweight division is far too strong for him at the moment Bilbo he should have moved up and faced Paulie he would of had a good chance at picking up a belt but now it looks like Hatton will beat Paulie it looks tough for Khan to win any belt at the moment.

He's only 21 Ice, realisitically it's going to be another couple years now and most likely Casmayor, Pacquaio, Marquez, Campbell and Barrera (if his comeback is succesful) will most likely all be gone.
It's likely Khan will be able to pick between lightweight and junior welter and right now junior welter is a wasteland and will likely remain so for a while.
Khan won't be a million miles away from the likes of Kotelnick and Holt in a couple years.
Don't give up on him just yet, I'd still say he's practically certain to win at least one belt.
As someone said before if Cook, Arthuer and Rees can do it, so can Khan, especially with Frank Warren behind him.

I believe that was me
Shit you could write a very long list of fighters who shouldn't really be good enough to have held world titles.
Just in and around 130-140 you have Arthur, Cook, Witter, Rees, Kotelnik, Holt, M'Baye, Maussa, Harris, Urango.
Bit strong to say he has no chance when all of the above have managed it.

Exactly he has more talent than all of that lot, if he can work on his defense and if another couple years make him a bit more durable then he'll have a great chance.
His chin is his only real weakness imo, in every other category he competes with everybody pretty much.
Re: Khan his dad and Hatton talk about defeat Khan "I will beat Prescott in rematch"
...in order to have a rematch there should be a first match. Khan just leave the guy alone and move on.

He needs to learn to get those hands up when he is moving backwards thats one of the first things my trainer learnt me and he done it in a way so it would be a natural reaction and i wasn't allowed to move on until i got it right despite all these rumours of Amir Khan's new trainer learning him defense it doesn't look like Amir Khan has learnt anything so its either not been drummed into his head so it becomes natural or Amir Khan was overrating the defensive training regime he was under either way he has too learn it fast because thats been one of his big downfalls.

Hard to tell if the work of the new trainer sank in after only 60s. I've heard a lot say he looked 'ill' when interviewd while getting his hands wrapped. I get the feeling that he had realised what he was up against (a taller athletic banger not a smaller past it fighter), and that nothing he had done previously remotely prepared him for such a live opponent, I reckon he panicked after the opening bell rather than decide to go for a tear up as they claim.
He has the talent to be a beltholder when all the players leave/retire, but he needs to realise that there are a hell of a lot of flaws in his game and it'll take time (and perhaps a move to the states for some reality cheking sparring) before he thinks ofa title.
Re: Khan his dad and Hatton talk about defeat Khan "I will beat Prescott in rematch"
khan should not fight prescott again right away. he should take some easy fights and get his confidence back. he was knocked out pretty badly

There's no such thing as an easy fight for him. That chin can be cracked by anybody.
Re: Khan his dad and Hatton talk about defeat Khan "I will beat Prescott in rematch"
Khan got rocked by a jab about 20 seconds into the fight. What is that about?! I think it was game over for him from then. I watched his legs wobble then before the big blows landed. Disappointing. All the talk of fighting for world titles and big names should stop now. Too soon for the boy.
Re: Khan his dad and Hatton talk about defeat Khan "I will beat Prescott in rematch"
Ono..
The fighters in the list you mentioned about less talented fights all had decent chins. Khan I'm afraid does not.
He was floored by Watson (4 TKO/ Ko's in 13 wins) in the amateurs, watch the silly dance he does. Its Judahesque. He was floored by Rachid Drilzane who has 1 stoppage in 15 wins. He had no stoppage victories when he met Khan, he was floored heavily by Willie Limond (Who moved up from 130lbs ) who has 8 KO/ TKO victories in 29 wins and then Gomez (Another 130lber) who floored him and hurt him to the body.
Unless Khan is talented enough not to take another flush punch again then he will get KO'd once he reached the top level.
Unless Prescott has a less than average chin himself I do not believe Khan would beat him in an immediate rematch.
Finally if it was Ramadan does that mean Khan was not eating like a boxer should. He sounded ill in his interviews, like he had a cold or virus.
Despite all the above I hope he does become a world champ and does not go the same way as Fraudly

you got to give it to him tho a lot of people have slagged him off, but give him his due he did carry on trying to fight

True words Mar, Khan cannot beat Prescott more impressively than Prescott just beat him, I'm certain of that.
Prescott has a new fan in me, I hope he wins a rematch and makes enough money to get his family out of the gutter, you have to respect a fighter that done it the hard way.
Khan however, how can he have hunger? He probably had a million in the bank before he even turned pro.

That's lack of experience for you, he never even thought of taking a knee bro.
Re: Khan his dad and Hatton talk about defeat Khan "I will beat Prescott in rematch"
Taking a knee is one thing , taking a knee to pick up the pieces of his chin that just got shattered is another thing ;D
Glass jaw isn't ever going to be the best in his division.
