Could Khan fill out to 147 in the future?

[Tam Seddon]

with such a big frame and a lot of money making fights does anybody else think that he could/would make the move? Im still not sold on his chin, but you can see a lot of work has been done on his defence. Does anybody else think he could do this?

[gudnite vienna]

he's got the attack to give any one a gud fight... His chin is more than questionable...

[Tam Seddon]

i agree, i want to see him against a strong 140 challenger first who packs power, if Khan can get through this test without being exposed again, I think he does have the tools to cause any fighter problems. I would love to see him fight Hatton though, I think this is a must see fight

[Taeth]

I think he will, and I also think his chin will improve a lot as he does. It did for Oscar and Hearns as they moved up.

[miron_lang]

If you look at the frames and Pac fights at 140+. Khan can go as high as 154 IMO.

Oscar never had a bad chin. There's a difference between flash knock downs and getting knocked the fukk out like Con did

the barrera and kotelnik fights have conclusively proven his learnt his lesson and wont make the same naive mistake again while under roach. Khans got the framework and physique to eventually become a very good 147pounder.

His ring abilitys are second to none and on his day he can beat anyone in this sport perhaps barring floyd. The questions about his chin though is still there.

For some reason when khan takes a clean punch he seems to think he can get out of the way of any further crossfire by moving his feet as much as possible which still suggests he can be hurt by very ordinary punches.

Over the next few years if khan can find himself a good solid jab i see no reason why his style cant make him a multi weight world champion. He certainly has the heart for the sport, the technique is there. But is the chin??

Exactly, Oscar had one of the greatest chins of the modern era in boxing. He had a few early flash knockdowns but was never hurt and the only times he was stopped was to a body shot and then an accumulation of shots against Pac. He never really looked like being hurt off Pac by one single shot though like what he did to Hatton.

As for Khan he is only 22 and yes I think he can go as high as 154 eventually but whether his chin can hold up is a total different matter that only time could tell. I say probably not but if he can keep improving his defence then maybe he can get by.

Nah. His chin would be weaker.

If he moves up to welter he needs to improve on his accuracy. Ive never known a fighter launch as many attacks on his opponents gloves as much as he does.

Of couse he is going to be hitting gloves when he's fighting Kotelnik.

Kotelnik has some good defense.

Kotelnik has some good defense.

He very rarely landed on a blind past it Barrera also. He tries to concentrate on speed and is throwing the next one before the 1st shot has landed. He needs to sit down on his shots more but now he knows he cant take punch we will see this hit and run tactic in every fight. No more entertaining battles if Roach has anything to do with it.
