They will proably focus on the fact he's gone 8 rounds in his last few fights as a reason for picking himbut Khan will proably beat him in about 4 rounds

Not as if he's headlining though is it.
Cook - Harrison - intriguing british battle, WBO strap on the line
Harrison - Skelton - good heavy fight, make or break for Audley commonwealth title fight
Oboh - Oakey - interesting opportunity to see Oboh, british belt on the line
Morris - simpson for the british title
Its Khans first outing over 8rds and isnt the plan to have him fight the winner of Lawtong hickman who face off in feb?

Come on, Khan aint going to be put in with anyone who has a dig, just powderpuff punchers, Uncle Frank aint taking a chance. They build him up as if he is the greatest boxer on the planet, "I'll be fighting for titles next year" says Khan, get a reality check, he gets non puching featherweights and suddenly thinks he is Oscar Dela Hoya.
feckin idiot.

Can you imagine what a tough nasty old pro like Jon Thaxton would do to the Media Darling/Creation, Golden Boy whatever you want to call him..?

Oh dear. Khan's career is starting to turn into a joke. He should be at least fighting for the British or Commonwealth title by this point. They could even put him in against someone like Willy Blain if they don't want him to face big punchers. Knocking out bums like this is completely useless for his development.

its obvious why warren wants to move him so slow......when it comes down to it Kahn is the reason why boxing returned to ITV and when Kahn Disappears off the radar hes probably abit worried that ITV are gonna send him packing!

Warren's choice of opponents does make you wonder, even if you're trying to protect your fighter surely it can help to keep feeding him fighters with no punch.
8 oz n ot 10 oz, you know your onions don't you?

Isn't it 10 oz welterweight and above? I seem to recall some talk somewhere about making it 10 oz gloves throughout this year, though I cannot remember if that was here or abroad. Can anyone remember this?

Ah right sorry 8oz, it's 10 oz in the amatures,
James I think Nevada brought in the rule 10oz for 135lb and above.

He can't fight for the British title until he is 21 - ridiculous rule which needs to be changed. Not sure if its the same for the Commonwealth? Anyone know??

No, but I'd like to. If Khan's elligible, I think the Comm title would be Warren's first plan for him title-wise. Would he have the beating of Limmond in 6-8 months time? I'd say yes
