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.

Would cool click ya if i could
i dont have memory loss
and i think u should read through my posts again
i have never said that Khan is making slow progression at all in fact i think i said he is progressing in the right way
i said his mouth is what makes me dislike him
he is stating that he can beat anyone and as a new fighter to pro boxing he hasnt been tested at all
also the fact is he didnt win the olympics
and dont even mention the rematch with Kinderlan
jesus he was fighting against a Frank Warren promoted fighter it was his last fight b4 retiring and Khan is Warrens latest toy
At the end of the day Kinderlan has a family to feed
you really think Warren was about to let Khan lose

?
Amatuer boxing imo is a different sport to pro
he is a professional boxer now not an amatuer and b4 he spouts his mouth he needs to prove that he can maintain his 'good fortune'
Amir Khan himself is the person stating that he will be WORLD CHAMPION by the time he is 21
the end of this year !!
That is y my reaction is for Warren to give him bigger named fights
i would have no problem with a gr8 amatuer progressing to pro boxing and going on the path as Amir is doin
But to make such bold statements that he hasnt yet proved he can back up is what is making me irritated with this boxer
