I have to laugh when people compare Amir to Ali... firstly Ali always had his tongue in his cheek with the majority of his boasting/predictions and he was FUNNY!!... not only that, but he backed up his predictions in his fights... he was fighting fringe world class fighters from the start of his career, not featherfisted nohopers from lower divisions... more than anything else Khan is getting boring with his constant boasts about when he's going to be world champ blah blah blah and his latest rant is foolish, boorish and extremely disrespectful... if Khans eventual 'world title' is of the WBU variety then his credibility with me will dip below zero, which would be a real shame as the kid definately has talent but I have to question the direction his career is going in and the people he has around him when he keeps coming up with tripe like these latest statements.... how about calling out Mayweather again while your at it Amir!??....

Having listened to the lad for 3 years, I can say he doesn't seem to have any. One of the most dense, docile people i've ever heard try string a sentence together.

People are correct, it's the exact same mistakes Audley made.

Khan actually signed with a promoter who will match him correctly though from the start unlike Audley though.

There was nothing wrong with Audelys first matchups though, he certainly wasnt matched up any worse than Khan has been... what went wrong for Audely is a mixture of inactivity though injuries, and then failing to acheive when he did step up and most importantly, losing the respect of the crowds because of his inability to back up his boasts... judging by the comments of quite a few on this and other threads Khan has already managed to alienate a number of fans with his boorish boasts... the public are growing tired of him saying when he'll be world champion and then seeing him get into the ring with another no hoper from a lower division... if he's as good as he claims then he should be stepping in with someone who will give him a proper fight... if he's not ready yet, then someone in his team needs to have a quiet word with him to stop him making an arse of himself with these silly boasts... you have to wonder about what his management and PR people are up to... I've heard that his manager used to be a taxi driver, which just about says it all I'm afraid... its Naz all over again but worse...

Not with the first matchups obviously as Khan has had simular but he didn't know when to stop and start stepping It up properly.

He needed a domestic level step up but not the best ones like Williams and Skelton first someone on McDermott's level would of been better first. He fought Krence but he was on journymen level at the time more than Domestic Journymen level.

I find it funny that he's disrespecting his UK peers but stepping in the ring with a guy - Bull - who lost to Lawton, who was battered by Thaxton the other week.
