By Scott Gilfoid: I don’t know if you’ve ever had a chance to read any of Amir Khan’s twitter comments, but I check out all the time. The one thing that I’ve noticed with this dude is that he’s always talking about food. Seriously, Khan is either talking about just having eaten some food or is about to go out and eat some food at a restaurant. I’m a pretty slim and food has never been a focus of my life, but I’ve had friends that would talk about food in the same way that Khan has, and these guys are all fat.

I think with Khan, there’s a fat person inside of him just waiting to get out. With the way that Khan is constantly obsessing over his next meal or what he just ate, I think the dude will be struggling to make light welterweight sooner rather than later. That’s cool, I guess, but with his glass jaw and slender built, I think Khan is going to have big problems once he leaves the light welterweight division.

Heck, I think Khan is going to have major problems in his next fight against Marcos Maidana, but being knocked out by a light welterweight like Maidana is nothing compared to what will be in store for Khan if he can’t make 140 anymore. I can see Khan starving himself and draining himself of water weight to try and stay at light welterweight for as long as possible. It will for a little while, but he’ll start getting diminishing returns soon enough and he’ll likely start suffering even more losses after Maidana stretches him out in December.

I see Khan eating himself all the weight up to middleweight some day in the near future. I’m telling you, Khan is totally into food and is going to be stuffing himself with too much of a good thing. I think Khan had to move up from lightweight because he was eating so much that he had to leave the division sooner than he wanted to.

To stay at any one weight class, you kind of have to see food as your enemy and not something look forward to. If I was Khan’s trainer, I would have him on a strict diet of good that tastes like garbage. That way, he wouldn’t be talking food 24/7 on his twitter page and looking forward to his next meals all the time. It’s got to be really awful tasting good, like liver, saur kraut, and oatmeal. I would then have someone staying with Khan all the time so that he stays away from the refrigerator and doesn’t cheat on his strict diet.
