Kat your memory loss in regards to Khan seems to be blurring your thinking, there is a good reason he is hyped.

At 17 he became an Olympic silver medalist beating the European Champion on the way and really testing Mario Kinderlan, at that time No.1 PVP amateur and considered one of the greatest Cuban fighters ever. If he had won he would have been the youngest Olymipc Champon since Floyd Patterson (50 years ago!). He then won the re-match aged only 18.

At this point fighting for the commonwealth title isn't particularly slow progression in the pro ranks either.
