    Amir Khan is a brilliant talent that people just can't stand and want to see lose for some reason. He's good to watch and the kid has the tools to be a future P4P #1. All of these guys with elite boxing talent are cocky, it's just some are vocal about it and others aren't. He's an Olympic talent that just missed out on the gold, with immense athleticism and elite boxing ability. Why shouldn't the kid be cocky? Should he be like "Awww schucks, thanks"? As long as he's backing it up, he's good for the sport. I can't really compare him to Naz just because of the ethnicity, Naz wasn't a true boxer, he was just a guy with an extremely awkward style with a ton of handspeed and power kinda like RJJ who was tough as hell to figure out. Actually, in and out of the ring, Khan's more Floyd Mayweather then Naseem. I'm calling it now 2012, an undefeated Mayweather comes out of retirement to challenge an undefeated Amir Khan for his welterweight title and P4P #1 status.

    I like Khan although I would urge him to tone things down a bit.

    Compete with Mayweather

    As for calling out Casamayor and Campbell I think is a bit much at this stage. I see the same thing happening to him that happened to Katsidis. Casamayor will catch him and eventually stop him. He might have the skills but he lacks the experience.

    I would like to see him fight Romanov and get past him first before he starts thinking of World level. He should forget his dream of being the youngest world champion for now.

    I don't personally know him.

    I don't like all the hype that The Sun and ITV create but i won't let that sway any judgement i make on Kahn. He comes across in interviews as any of other fighter does.....who believes in himself and is genuinely confident.

    A lot of folk confuse this with cockiness.

    He's a very good fighter. He needs to work on his defence, but i think he has much more ability than Calzaghe and Hatton both had at that age.

    One thing I dont like, He always tries to Batter the Door down with a big Hammer. At the moment the doors arnt that strong. Id like to see a bit more craft being incorperated to help in the future, as he moves up the locks get stronger
    Pain lasts a only a minute, but the memory will last forever....

    Yeah me too, I like Khan a lot, and don't see the attitude problem that some do...I see a talented young boxer trying to keep the balance of his Muslim faith in a christian country,

    He's a young talent who's doing his job well in the ring...he is not perfect, neither is he the finished article, but he is one hell of a prospect as a boxer, but one who is having to deal with the marketing men out of the ring...he is still learning and is a very respectfull young bloke...

    I wish him all the luck in the world....he's good for boxing, and for those that think he ain't been tested he will be tested ...but lets not pretend he doesn't want that because he does...and its coming soon...
