Khan has been impressive so far in his burgeoning career but has he actually been tested?

The Bolton boxer’s last opponent, Michael Gomez, was probably meant to be his biggest test but the unpredictable 31-year-old was well past his prime and in the end the hungrier Khan was in a different league. Those who defend Amir’s record will point to his fight with Aussie Gairy St. Clair, which went 12 rounds, but he was placed in ring to test the young pretender’s stamina without really threatening to win.

Things could be different though with the next challenger. Breidis Prescott has all the attributes to really stretch the British boxer having so far been educated in tough fights mostly in his native Columbia. The question of the strength of Khan’s chin will be answered with the 25-year-old recording 17 of his 19 wins by knockout. Like the Olympic silver medalist of four years ago he is undefeated and perhaps hasn’t really been stretched.

There is no doubt he can punch and is a talented fighter but in his last bout, when he stepped up a level, he only managed a split points decision victory. That said it was the first fight he’d faced outside South America and he should be able to use the experience to improve his talents.
