I know this is probably because I am not British (and therefore does not have to deal with the hype), but I have never quite understood why people are so tough on Khan.

He is being brought along like a prospect. They are taking the route fighting British fighters, who, incidentally are among the top 10 European lightweights or so. Is there a monumental gap between being top 10 lightweight in Europe and being top 10 p4p in the world? Sure. But there is a time and a place for everything and there is no need to put in the final verdict on Khan just yet. After all he is fighting his way up through the rankings, progressing along the way. That's not a bad thing.

Also, try looking at this page: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...mmer_Olympics> These are the fighters from Athens. How many of these names do you recognize? How many have been progressing faster than Khan, who, by the way, is the youngest of all of them? Not too many, me think (although I would, arguably, rate of few of them above Khan p4p at the moment).
