Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
I say he batters him silly to be honest and i think i've seen enough of young Amir already to realise HE IS the real deal.
Getting stronger with every fight now and his KO power and handspeed seem superb.

Looking forward to the next few years and seeing just how good he is

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
Mitchell is a superfeather. Khan has already fought at Lightwelterweight.
Medjaji is a powderpuff punching superfeatherweight that turned up to fight Khan knowing he had zero chance of winning. Khan threw a great punch and KO'd him. Thats all I learned.
If he's European class already that must give him the beating of Jon Thaxton?
-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
mitchell is top quality in my opinon, i think kahn needs another 6 or 7 fights before he goes in against thaxton mitchell or people in that class, experience is essential, the drilzan fight was so good for him he should do thatweight more often so when he does come down he will have learned to fight when he cant knock his opponent out or even hurt him
-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
Thaxton won't be allowed to lay a glove on him and Amir would run rings round him with ease.
Forget Thaxton,Khan is simply to fast and too skilled for him :)
As for Mitchell ;D I can see the ref stopping that one in Khan's favour 8)

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
Yeah I'm warming to him now I have to say. He's certianly looking better with every fight.
Can't wait to see what he's capable of in 18 months time

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
He's brilliant for UK boxing and im sure is gonna be massive in the US,Im fully behind the boy i must say.
Go for it Amir 8)

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
AMIR BEATS KEVIN MITCHELL INSIDE 4 ONE SIDED ROUNDS HE IS READY FOR BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH HONOURS HE SHOULDNT BE HELD BACK BECAUSE BY 25 HE WILL BE ON THE SLIDE HE NEEDS TO BE LET LOOSE.I HOPE FRANK WARREN DOESNT HOLD HIM BACK THE WAY HE DID RICKY HATTON AND JOE CALZAGHE WHO IN MY EYES ARE SO OVERRATED RICKY HATTON 38 FIGHTS BEFORE A GENUINE WORLD TITLE COMES HIS WAY AGAINST AN OLD MAN.NASEEM HAMED WAS FRANKS BEST ACHIEVMENT HE LET HIM LOOSE AND HIS ACHIEVMENTS WERE BRILLIANT FOR A BRITISH FIGHTER AND IF HE DOES THE SAME WITH AMIR HE COULD ACHIEVE MORE THAN NAZ.

Wish Khans mob had your confidence, Smash. ;)
You're right Thaxton wont be allowed to lay a glove on him, they wouldn't let Khan anywhere near him.
After another nine or ten powderpuff-punching-superfeather-foreign-imports Khan will probably be upped to top British level.

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
He need to get away from Warren asap or he will end up with 40 fights before he gets his shot :-\

-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
Mitchell is a superfeather like Medjadji. Khans fight before last was at lightwelter.
Medjadji was never brought over here with a hope in hells chance of winning against Mitchell just like he wasn't against Khan. ;)

I agree, I think Khan is being brought along at an ok pace. He needs to step up a bit now though. Mayweather was world chmapion in his 17th fight, Khan needs to get a move on if he wants to come close to that.
I'd like to see him take another learning fight in April, one more in July, a better opponent in Sep and go for either Thaxton or Earl in December.
He can then go into 2008 aiming to clean up domestically and look for a world title shot in 2009.
He doesn't need to rush it. 22 or 23 is young to become a world champ.

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
I think that the Hardcore amongst us are starting to wake up to the fact that we have a genuine World Champion potential on our hands here.
I also think Warren is doing fine with him.
All he really needs imo is rounds to be complete 8)
I'm starting to get very excited by what i see from Khan these days :)

It's kind of ironic when you consider the general public and the very casual fan woke up to that fact as soon as he got into the Olympic Final! ::**

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
B0LL0CKS ;D
I was still very dubious even when Kindelan threw the 'return lets launch Amir's pro career in high profile style with a fix fight.
Huge difference between Am's and Pro's and i honestly didn't think he was as good as he now seems to be.
-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
Unbelievably he's ranked 14 by the WBO http://www.wbo-int.com/ ;D
His first test is gonna be when he gets to finish off whats left of Earl.

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
I 100% agree that his whiskers need a damm good leathering, just to be sure like ;D

No I agree, I just mean that every housewife and mum knew he was going to be a world champ as soon as he came back from Athens!
It kind of reminds me of when scientists in the early part of the 20th century after many experiments and analysis finally proved the universe had a beginning and bible believers around the world pointed to Genesis 1:1 and said 'Yep we already knew that thanks'. ::**
Sometimes the ignorant make fools of the wise :P

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
Khan IMO needs more rounds come on KM has a lot more ring experience and fought at 12 rounds. i think i would tilt towards Khan but i wouldnt totally count KM out. he is a good solid fighter and he himself needs a big name. Earl-KM would be kool to see.

I don't believe Thaxton to be European class. He needed 3 attempts at the British title and failed with a Commonwealth title bid so to me that says he is a good domestic fighter and apart from fitness and heart he doens't have what it takes to make Amir think enough and he doesn't have what it takes to get out of the way of Amir's punches. Amir does need to prove he can comfortably do 12 rounds before fighting him tho IMO.

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
He'd ruin Thaxton with ease and is too big,strong and fast for Mitchell 8)
-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
Has Khan fought anyone as good as Thaxton or Mitchell ???
I'm just shooting in the dark here because i've only seen khan on youtube and dont know who these other people are but apparently they'd launch him to some type of world level ??? :-\
-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
Mitchell fights at the lower weight and is also a Frank Warren fighter so it could be a no no on that score.
Thaxton is strong and has a big heart but would be target practice for Khan imo and he is 32 and not a speed merchant.
Thaxtons world ranking is 15 or 16 so that for me would be a good route to go down.
Khan still needs a good few 10/12 round fights (if he can get them) before hand though.

He's not fought any world class fighters yet for sure but they definitely arn't all Audley Harrison style opponents.
Most of his opponents have had winning records, some on paper had pretty good records, 7-0, 11-1 etc.
The thing that has impressed me about Khan is that in his 11 or whatever fights he's barely lost more than 3 or 4 rounds.
The kid has impressed every single time out. He's been reckless at times and showed his inexperience but you can't point to a single fight in his young professional career so far and say he looked lacklustre.
His hardest fight, if you can call any of them hard was a 4 or 6 rounder against some foreign bloke about a year ago. He got careless and his opponent landed a couple flush in 1 round. I remember the ref still gave every round to Khan in that fight which was definitely not deserved but he still clearly won.
Anyway since then Khan has tightened up his defense a bit, he doesn't leap around all over the place any more either. He plants his feet, patiently looks for an openening and is now starting to get some power behind his shots.
I would say quite confidently that right now he is the number 1 prospect in the world, ahead of Andre Ward and even ahead of Berto.
Questions remain as to how well he can take a punch but he's coming along real nicely now.

Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
Khan he take a punch though? Is my question.....
-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion qua
He has been on his Ass a couple of years ago but he was young and nowhere near the size he is now.
He needs a nickname too imo and i agree with Bilbo that he is the Worlds hottest prospect at present and so exciting to watch.
-
Re: Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality
Has anybody seen the other Khan fight?
Amer Khan he fights at Light Heavy. just curios cause hes young and is undefeated.... :)

I think it's a toss up between Amir & Berto.

They should stick em on the same bill and they can do the 'Khan Khan' instead of their ringwalks. ::**
