If you are a good upcoming prospect with a good future ahead of you your supposed to be taking apart fighters like Gomez, Limond, etc. And age isn't that much of a factor didn't Floyd Mayweather Jr win a world title when he just turned 21 with only 17 pro fights at the time ??
Khan is talking about fighting for world title soon so of course people are going to say he will fail at world stage after seeing Khan struggle against fighters who shouldn't of troubled him plus these are fighters with no punching power except Gomez who is a decent puncher but in no way shape or form is he a devastating puncher. Plus i don't think Khan has really stepped up much in class, Gomez was a well chosen opponent and you know it Ono. Khan has showed good recovery skills but thats because his opponents have never really took advantage of the situation, do you really think a world class fighter like Casamayor wouldn't finish Khan off if he got him in trouble ?? or Diaz, or Pacquiao etc. Khan has some good qualites about him but he also has some very bad ones as well like dropping his hands after throwing combinations, that would be disaster against excellent counter punchers like Marquez, Guzman, Campbell, Casamayor.
Plus his chin is also very suspect IMO the sad thing is i doubt Warren will get Khan to step up in class for quite sometime so none of our questions will be answered for quite sometime, but i also didn't think Khan dealt well with getting hit to the body, as a boxer myself if you get hurt to the body which i have before. You bite down on your mouthpiece and block the pain out you don't show any weakness to your opponent which Khan did, and a world class fighter would of finished him off right there and then, one of the most important things when your in the ring is to have a poker face and never let your opponent think he has the upper hand. But like i said we will see i honestly think he will fail at the world stage but lets hopefully all are question's can be answered soon.
