Forget The Amir Khan Fight.

[ICB]

The Khan hate is unreal. He wins in 76 seconds and people just rubbish it and say forget that win.

When he beats Juan Manuel Marquez towards the end of next year they will rubbish that too claiming he was clearly past it after losing to Floyd and Amir got him at the right time.

I will of course put up my thread from six months ago when I pointed out this would happen 18 months before and I predicted exactly how the haters would respond even though they rubbished my claims at the time.

But it is as it is, Khan is truly world class. Yes his chin is suspect, but in every other aspect he's as talented as anyone out there and has the potential to beat anyone from 135-140 and and will in time fill out to welterweight too.

Because Dmitriy Salita was crap, not a single person on here that i see. Thought this really was a serious fight, he had a rubbish chin and had a ridiculously padded record.

Its not hate its just frustration wanting to see him fight, some legit opposition any of the opponents i listed would be fine.

What world class opponents has Amir Khan beat ? you say i overrate Lucian Bute wins, well tell me what win Amir Khan has on his record that impresses you ?

I think its a bit ridiculous to say he would beat someone, of JMM's class or any world class opponent. When he hasn't even beaten the best that Britain has to offer.

The difference between Khan and Bute is firstly, he's seven years younger and is already a world champ whereas Bute at the same age hadn't even turned professional.

Secondly nobody is trying to make a claim that Amir Khan is the number 1 at light welter like Bute is alleged to be according to the Ring.

If the Ring were to rank Amir as number 1 at lightweight I would say it was ridiculous also and point out that Bradley, Diaz, Hatton and arguably Nate Campbell and Devon Alexander should be above him.

It's a completely different argument.

The kid is sensational for his age, I'll repeat what I said to Kel, show me the other young kids of 22 or younger who have done more than Amir Khan.

He's one of the very best prospects in boxing, its simply not in dispute.

You can't compare there age, Lucian Bute started professionally alot older than Amir Khan did. But when Lucian Bute had 23 fights the same amount Amir Khan has now, he had beaten better quality opposition than Amir Khan by quite a big margin.

Im not saying your claiming Amir Khan is number 1, what im saying is how the hell can you say Amir Khan is this and that. When he hasn't beaten one single world class opponent or one good opponent ?

Shouldn't you wait and see how he does vs a puncher, or any of the other names i listed before. Before you start saying he would beat JMM and ETC.

I don't like Amir Khan but i don't hate him, im more frustrated than anything else. That he isn't fighting any legit opponents, after this fight he has to fight atleast Marcos Rene Maidana.

If he beats him i will give him credit, because not only has he beat a puncher. He's beaten a fighter with a name whos a live dangerous opponent.

I also never said he wasn't a good prospect, i just want to know good he truly is.
