By Saqib Khan: This is a question which I ask a lot of fans, the majority of the fans say yes. In order to obtain that legendary status he will have to fight the best junior welter in Tim Bradley.
Tim Bradley is a very rugged fighter, he’s a massive junior welter with good speed and excellent boxing skills, and this will be a very tough fight for khan a possible career defining fight.
I believe Amir Khan has the skills to beat any boxer at 140 to 147 the exception being Manny Pacquiao as he is not mature enough and has not had the wars under his belt. In regards to the Tim Bradley fight I believe Amir Khan will outbox and possibly stop Tim Bradley early as we all know Tim Bradley is a fighter which lunges in and does not hold back, he also does not possess the thunderous power of Maidana but he has good speed to counter khan.
The 140 pound division is a waiting for a king to rule and that king could be Amir Khan, there’s also a talk of a fight between Khan and Zab Judah at the end of the year. What a year that would be for Khan if he became Britain’s youngest undisputed world champion at 140 division by beating zab Judah.
As soon as khan finished off with the 140 pound division he should quickly take on the 147 Champions. I believe khan will become more powerful and his ability to take shots would increase. I’ve always stated Amir Khan is a 147 fighter just like victor Ortiz, he weighs around 160 plus after fights and trust me khan will be a different kind of animal at 147 with speed and power. The extra weight could be used to strengthen khan’s legs, forearms and back.
I don’t want to jump on the khan bandwagon as soon as he has a lot flaws, his defence is weak, his legs and his foot movement are weak, his training routine after fights has finished. Amir Khan needs a lot of improvement to the hits the heights that every one accepts of him since he won that silver.
