Amir Khan beats Kevin Mitchell tommorow and is already European Champion quality

[Majesty]

I would say quite confidently that right now he is the number 1 prospect in the world, ahead of Andre Ward and even ahead of Berto.

Then you forgot the Peterson brothers

I think Khan & Berto are ahead of the bros.

and we'll disagree there.

But one person Khan is definately NOT ahead of is Timothy Bradley. Check him out in the near future. You know who he is?

Talented kid seen him a couple of times on Sho:Box looks to have the goods...
But when you consider the media coverag who have you hear most of?
Khan & Berto
then the rest......

yeah but it's not about who you hear of its who the number one prospect is(not in terms of hype but in terms of competition) in which case Khan isn't anywhere near number one. He's not ahead of Lucian Bute imo.

Khan also has MASSIVE marketing appeal being a British Born Muslim who prodly wears the Union Jack flag on his shorts every time he fights.
In this day and age in England that really gets him lots of attention and if you ask a non boxing fan to name a UK fighter over here chances are they'll say Amir Khan.
Huge commercial interest in him already over here and he has the tools to match.

they did the same for Hamed, but when he didn't box anymore was he even as beloved?

For me its as you were with Amir. He looked to be adopting a more professional approach against Medjadji (sp?) rather than bouncing around like a nutter, only trouble was that it was over before we could see if it extended past the openning moments. Its flogging a dead horse but we HAVE to see him in with some half tasty lightweights, Earl will be perfect for him.

I've been reinacting that chopping right cross downstairs in the garage on the floor to ceiling ball earlier and i think i could have been a contender you know.

Thanks for sharing that info.
I'll mark him off my list of prospects to follow....

Well, see thats why we were disagreeing cause we were talking about hottest prospect in the sense of just being in the talks....
Take for example when Bojado was a prospect he didn't fight the best opposition compared to other prospects BUT he was the hottest prospect around cause he was the talk of the sport....
Right now it's Khan & Berto.....

Now if you wanna take the route you suggested about opposition then I would say Amin Asikainen.

Thats pretty good. Say about some prospects...what happened to Andre Ward

Funny you mention this on Sat. the day of the Khan bout, I thought about making a Ward thread asking where is he?

Now tha you ask, that makes 2 of us?

Anyone here know anything on him, or his career?
