Amir Khan

The thing is, JCC Jnr didn't have an amateur career and Khan is just a prospect. Pretty much all prospects are protected....especially when they have youth on their side. Surely it's more sensible for a fighter to learn the professional game properly, then to throw themselves in at the deep end.

The ams are a lot different to the pro's, so to me i see no problem in any decorated amatuer taking their time.

The Peterson bro's and Andre Ward are doing the same thing and imo it's the right thing to do.

Maybe if the fans and media didn't over-react to every loss and bad performance, we'd actually see prospects in more competitive fights. Just a thought.
