Khan should shine in this one and if he can't finish him early i'd say his power isnt that great

Khan UD

would love to see Khan go on to do well but the cracks that are starting to show at a very low level aint a good sign
Hey saddo, actually in mentioning Burns you highlighted one of the reasons the 'Amir Khan show' annoys me so much. Ricky Burns is a tremendously slick boxer, giving Alex Arthur a war in only his 14th fight and beating British champ Graham Earl in just his 10th!

This kid really does have talent, yet aside from the knowledgeable boxing fans on boards such as this, none of the public have ever heard of him.
for sure mate hes one to watch in the future... if only he had a dig he'd be unstopable

got to say that joe public ((itv boxing fans)) dont really know that much about boxing so Khan is getting showcased more than boxers who have achived more... same thing happened to Audley with the BBC.

it aint Khans fault its just the way it works with the casual fan...

I do hope Khan can come through and learn the pro game at his own pace and not be caught up in all the hype while doing so...

Alex Arthur needed the Gomez loss to bring him back down to earth and has became a better boxer because of it IMO.

time will tell with Khan but i agree there are far more talented fighters out there not getting the exposure or cash of khan but then hey Kahn is still creating more fans than the sport had before so it aint all bad mate
