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.
