Mate, Amir Khan is nowhere near as good as Errol Christie.
Christie's problem is that he burned out through having too many amatuer fights whilst competing at every other sport imaginable at the same time.
Christie had miles more talent than Khan, who has good hand speed and some zip in his shots. He moves well but apart from that he is nothing special.
The first banger he fights who is the SAME size as him will KO him.

Christie was as complete a boxer I have seen turnover to the pro ranks.
There may well be point to this thread even though a fruitless one.
Oh fvck I just posted on it. Doh.

Nope.
Christie I'm afraid, like Frank Bruno, was never able to rally from adversity in his fights and come through.

Interesting and the comparison has some value.
I don't think Errol said 'You what I mean' as much though........

Out of interest, what other sports did Christie compete in?
