Khan Confidence Sky High

Amir Khan faces Michael Gomez at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham on Saturday but his confidence is such that he is already talking about fighting and beating the world’s very best lightweights.

Despite having fought just one fighter remotely resembling genuine world class in his 17 fight career, the confident 21 year-old Olympic silver medallist firmly believes that he can take care of business against the likes of Manny Pacquiao, David Diaz and Nate Campbell.

"I’m fighting in front of 10,000 on Saturday night so I think I’m one of the main men in the division," said Khan.

"I’m not just going to be one of the main men, I’m going to the number one, and everyone’s going to be after me.

"I’ve got a high rating with both the WBO and the WBC, and I feel ready for a world title shot.

"Diaz and Pacquiao are both great fighters, but I’m confident that I could beat both of them."

Khan also fancies his chances with WBA/IBF and WBO king Nate Campbell.
"I’d love to fight Campbell," added Khan. "After I’ve taken his(Campbell) world titles away from him he’ll be giving me the respect I deserve."

Good luck to Khan

He has to be careful though, I remember a British Olympic heavyweight fighter who drew big crowds and thought he was ready for the big fights early

What was his name?

[:::PSL:::]

David Diaz is a great fighter?

[Tam Seddon]

Was it Fraudley Harrison?

I think Amir needs to step up the competition in his next fight. Gomez doesnt do a lot for him but I think he can handle him. Khan needs a big test in his next fight for sure.

He's obviously got confidence in his own ability. Which is fine.

I don't like how he was saying Gomez was world class after the fight. That's a little naive.
