Schaefer convinced Khan will soon be pound-for-pound king
October 9th, 2011
By Scott Gilfoid: Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions is betting that IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan will become a huge star under his helm at Golden Boy. Schaefer not only sees Khan becoming a star, but also the pound-for-pound king in boxing.
As far as I can tell, pound-for-pound kings aren’t supposed to get drilled into the canvas by guys like Prescott and aren’t supposed to go life and death with fighters like Maidana and then get saved by the referee.
Anyway, here’s Schaefer vision of Khan in the future in an interview at Sky “Watch and see, this young man [Khan] will become pound-for-pound, the best fighter in the world.”
I wonder at what point in the future Schaefer sees this vision happening? 2 years? 10 years? 15 years? I hate to be the one to drizzle all over Schaefer’s vision thing but Khan isn’t going to be pound for pound anything I’m afraid.
It’s not going to happen. Maybe Schaefer can match Khan up against weak guys and then yak that he’s the best pound for pound long and hard 24/7, 365 days a year, but I really don’t see anyone buying any of that. This can’t be accomplished through sleight of hand tricks where Khan is matched against weak non-punchers over and over again, and then Schaefer emerges saying Khan is the best fighter since sliced bread.
Schaefer is wasting his time. Khan has to beat the best and that means beating the guy that spanked him Prescott, beating Maidana without a referee saving Khan when he’s getting pummeled, and beating Victor Ortiz, Andre Berto, Mike Jones, Kell Brook, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. I can’t see Khan beating any of those guys, and his win over Maidana is tainted in my eyes because of the referee pulling Maidana off of him.
I think Schaefer needs to cut his losses and find someone that has a chin and can be matched against anyone – punchers or boxers. You can’t have a fighter that you’re steering around punchers while at the same time crowing that he’s the best fighter pound for pound in boxing. That’s silly.

he is so confident thats why he is keeping khan away from all the top guys out there. So confident put him vs ortiz or berto or even mosley and lets see what happens.
Keep Dreaming
Khan will prove me wrong if he has a rematch with Prescott or Maidana. I’m not a hater, but he should tie up the loose ends.
lets vote whos whos spending 16 pounds to watch princess khan fight 1 punch at a time peterson i wont pay for this but will laugh if khan does lose cos losing to a bum his career is over but fighting the best and it being good fight means theres more to come
Talk about betting on the wrong horse or in this case the wrong camel, LOL!
Khan wont ever be p4p#1 .he won’t even beat kell brook who in my opinion is another overrated British fighter
Why is every article on Khan accompanied with a picture of hime getting tagged by prescott or maidana.
I am glad the American fans are seeing what real British/Irish fans of Boxing have seen for a few years now. Khan is a fraud.
Lamont Peterson on PPV….WTF????
Undercard fight written all over it……..Amir CON!!!!
Khan is a piece of s..t
Boxing is somewhat of a joke because of guys like Con, Alvarez, Chavez, etc. Far too many unanswered questions for Con to even be mentioned among the best. Lost to Prescott and Maidana and a wasted Zab is the biggest name on his record. Give me a fvckin break!!!!!
hes the best a lw not yet p4p material but hes right he could be one day. I think you need to get a new hoby and stop hating on british fighters whats rwrong Scott was your daddy british and didnt he leave your hill billy momma?

Lol did Scott Haemorrhoid really include Prescott and Kell Brook in his ‘the best’ list? Fuc|<ing lol.
the little kid amir khan wants to fight floyd at welter weight yet he has guys like adre berto and victor ortiz
who he stands no chance against
Eddy Hearn paid the reff to stop Brooks fight early just like he fixed Prescot v Mcklosky, anyone with a boxing brain knows that Prescot won that fight as Mcklosky couldnt even walk back to his corner after the fight. Eddy Hearn had the nerv to say Darren Barker was ahead on the Cards when he thought Martinez and said that if it wasnt for the stoppage Barker would have one. Matchroom sport are a bunch of cheating losers and couldnt take the lose to Khan which is why Goldon Boy dont want to do buisness with them. Eddy Hearn said Top Rank and GBP want to sign up Kell Brook lol give me a break. Mcklosky Barker, Witter Brook, Rhodes are all matchroom bums…….Froch will get exposd by Ward.
I think khan is improving and couldmend up p4p no 1. He fights regular, against the best available. Khan can only fight 1person at a time, so let’s face it, there is always some idiot jumping up and down claiming they have been avoided. Prescott only proved to be a one hit wonder because he has clearly gone backwards since. Khan has gone on to be one of boxings biggest draws, and most talked aboutnfighters, not to mention wealth beyond most people’s wildest dreams
Khan will fight Brook or Hatton depending on who has the WBA belt, After this Khan will fight Berto or Ortiz depending on who has the IBF belt, If Khan wins then he will put both his belts on the line against Mayweather for a unification super fight!
Why not, of course he has the chance and he is getting better and better, but that chances can happen only when Pacquiao and Mayweather both retire. Otherwise he has to wait for 2- years more. Pacquiao has 1½ more years left for him to take another job, but Mayweather don´t have any plans yet to leave boxing. Sorry to say.
i hate when people start writing articles like this one….i hope for khan he will be one day
king shut the fu*k up you p@kie c*NT.
Let’s get it right, who can beat khan at jr ww, khan is the top dog. But theirs much bigger tests, so he can prove he really has pound 4 pound potential.
Ashishwarrior, your a pu..ey and a loser
Khan has more fans then, froch, brook, jnr hatton, any britsh boxer. Khan is more popular among boxing fans and boosts large brands that want him on his books. The guy gas made millions, from his fans. So the concept that khan has only a few fans is a joke.
Funny how little ashwarrior says something, then uses different names to re-affirm his views. You are a sad little vegi eater.
As long as he develops probably by going up in weight, meaning punch power, then he could become I pound for pound king. But they would have to choose his opponents carefully, not cherry picking as such, but picking the best fighters out there, but at the right time of his development.
Ashishwarrior, you are a sad man. I offered you to meet me, but your scared. I guess being scared is part of your DNA, and being a keyboard warrior is also.
lol that old dusty prescott khan pic, a way off pound 4 pound , but good champion best at light welter , bradley is scared of him anyway
khan is cr*p, much like this site that never posts your comments.
