He's 19 and has only taken one month off so far.

I hate when stuff like this happens. I'm all for the spotlight being put on younger fighters, but just as the case with Ward here stateside. We've all seen what happens when fighters step up to early. We shouldn't expect any real competition until the 15 or 16th fight with these olympian guys. Maybe more for Khan since he isn't but 19. Every American boxing fan knows who David Reid is. All the talent in the world but he was pushed to far to fast. Give Khan 2 or 3 years.
