    What a dickhead, can somebody tell him that even bodybuilders when they are stage ready are only 3-4% maximum? They also regularly collapse after the show from dehydration and weakness so is he telling us he comes in to compete in a boxing match of all things lower than that? The bullshit bug that Warren carries has infected Khan as well. Its a bad mentality to have because he exagerates everything..especially about how good he is and that will bring complacancy (Sp?)
    Bodybuilders collapse because they have dehydrated themselves too much. They dehydrate themselves so their body's appear more vascular.

    But yeah i don't think he was 1.5% bodyfat. I don't think it's possible to compete at such a level.

    1.5% isn't possible, he would be in real trouble, 5-8% is more accurate, Pro body builders dehydrate themselves to the point where there skin is so thin it can tear, and as you say they are around 3-4% and there is not way you could box like that.

    Khan looked great, hand speed, shot selection, all is great but he will get caught out with his dogey chin, there is unfortunately nothing he can do about it. David Haye suffers a similar problem to a lesser degree but at the moment his superior skills are seeing him through, this may happen with Amir, but Carl Johanesson took Gomez apart a few months ago, he was destroyed at European Level a couple of times, and when I say destroyed Kirakosyan took him to the cleaners twice, it is all well and good looking great against weaker opposition. I hope he can get to a decent level before he is exposed, but it will come.
