Amir Kahn Breaks into Top 10 in the World

[Kev]

I'm not sure he's ready to face anyone in that top 10 (apart from D.Diaz, Khan would KO him) but on form lines with Katsidis and Romanov his place is justified.

Why does everyone hate on David Diaz so much? He knocked out Santa Cruz and beat Erik Morales in a fight that could have gone either way yet everyone assumes he's pretty much the worst lightweight in the world

Well he's just the weakest of the current crop....
WQell mayb he is Casamayor was dreadful in his past fight.

But David is just easy to put down and for some reason has few fans outside of Chicago.

I don't hate him.

His form ain't much cop - an ancient shot Morales won IMO and Santa Cruz was whooping Diaz until he landed a cracker.

He's easy to hit, not a big puncher, can be easily hurt and I see Khan blasting him to bits. That's all.

[Kev]

Call me crazy but I see D Diaz as the second best of the champs behind Juan. I reckon he'd smoke Katsidis, retire Casamayor and give Manny Pacquaio a good fight if that matchup happened.

He's very underratted imo. Not a great fighter by any means but he has tons of heart, reasonable power and constantly moves forward. He always makes for entertaining fights at least.

[Wasp]

Not sure if its deserved

But he did F*** Earl up big time.

He will be number 1 in the world....trust me!

You're dreaming if you think Kahn can beat the Baby Bull.

Kahn was lucky not to have 2 knock downs scored against him in the Willie Limond fight.

I agree just because he beat a shot Graham Earl, that doesn't mean he can beat someone in the class of Juan Diaz. I think people are forgetting Khan's suspect chin.

[Wasp]

I think people are forgetting Johnathan Thaxton is the best british Lightweight at the moment.

He said - will be

Not that Khan is at the moment.

[Wasp]

Whens that then. When the Baby bull retires?

Juan Diaz is only 24. LOL

Have to say, i think Ricky hatton would of done a lot lot better if he had spared with Kahn before his Mayweather fight.

In fact i would of suggested Kahn to be Ricky Hattons main sparing partner.

[leftylee]

Put him in with Juan Diaz, i would love to see Khan get destroyed he talks to much. His comment about Floyd Mayweather Jr was ridiculous.

What did he say ICB.

[Fenster]

Diaz is 24 but been a pro 7 years.. Fought for the "world" title in his 25th fight.

Khan turned 21 last weekend, has been a pro 2 years and had 15 fights.

With the potential improvement from Khan, to add to his obvious talent he could catch-up to Diaz pretty quick.

He could beat Mayweather in a 4 round fight, or something stupid like that.

Amateur stats suggest an even match-up

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I just wanna see Khan get hit in the mouth again. It matters to me.

Then again, ive been saying that about Floyd for the past few years. Still waiting....

[Steelie]

I want to believe that Khan can break the mould and go for it this early in his career...but it's just not Warrens stamp is it?
