Would Gavin have a chance against Khan?

Right, I know there is absolutely no chance of this happening until Gavin actually proves himself as a pro fighter but even with a world title I still think Khan is more suited to the amateur game than the pros (i.e. with some head gear on) and Gavin is a proven Amateur World Champ. If Gavin progresses to be the fighter his potential suggests do you think he could take a title off Khan?? Do you think he'll ever get the chance??

[namsu55]

I dont think Gavin has a chance with Khan. He gets hit with too many. He is still learning. How many fights would have have to fight under ****** to be offered a title shot?

[namsu55]

I guess Gavin is just as arrogant as Khan, Gavin used to spar with Khan and he told BBC WM: "I'd fight Khan tomorrow".

[DGLASS JAW]

khan all day long ....

[sam1222]

Gavin has no chance. i'd pick Kahn every time

[namsu55]

Khan has got to that big stage now, as long as he maintains it Gavin will be a possible opponent after 3 + years.

[Harry Chibber]

khan all day long ....

would you have said that before the Barrera fight?

[ryanm8655]

^^^Yes...Gavin has the amateur pedigree but I don't see him doing much in the pro game, I honestly don't...

[cupid]

After 4 years yes may be but now noway

[kurt2006]

Gavin will be exposed whilst building up experience. As soon as he steps up he will be found out. Did enjoy watching him the other week though when he was thwoing lots of bodyshots but he would not have the time to do that against a decent opponent.

[namsu55]

Out of the three olympians who would do you prefer?

[Darni187]

Gavin will be 24 in september, Khan is still only 22.

interseting point!

Not yet he would get beat in the first few rounds

[slip&counter]

get the heck outta here

i am tellin you right now frankie gavin will be world class.just give him a couple of years.his style really suits the pro game

[Grievesy]

No. At least not at the moment. And tbh I don't think he would in the future. He has looked the worst of the 3 Olympians so far, although it's still early days.

How'd you work that out? He's feather fisted

[Tony Bellew]

Give Frankie time and he'll shine!!:good

[Dan684]

Alright Tony mate hows it going. Any news when your on next ? When is Selkirk fighting next ? Is he injured ?

[NO MAS]

No. At least not at the moment. And tbh I don't think he would in the future. He has looked the worst of the 3 Olympians so far, although it's still early days.

Frankie will do it properly, he will accomplish himself at 4, 6, 8 and 10 rounds before making a claim for a World Title.....the quality of his amateur opponents before he turned over were a cut above what he is fighting now.....

Frankie is making the transition to the pro's at a nice steady rate....there are so many others factors to take into consideration, not just opponents...

Frankie was an amateur for 13 years or thereabouts.... he has been a pro for a year...... don't make any judgements yet...:yep

[Dan684]

No Mas, not forgetting the fact that his opponents came and covered up which makes it extremely difficult for a counter puncher to shine. His last opponent threw more and look how good Gavin looked then !

exactly , he knocked fearn out with a beautiful combination , i think he has looked the best of all the olympians including sutherland , his body shots etc have looked world class , he will develope more power in the future , i think he should go to america to futher his development in a few years

[Dan684]

Moorser, I think all our prospects should be fighting in 4/6 rounders abroad instead of milking them for their following against poor fighters and putting them on PPV. Plus it'd give their coaches (Arnie and the like) a chance to pit their own skills against some good American coaches. Would benefit Boxing in this country for sure

i agree they should fight all over the place , get out of there comfort zone , its stupid having them on ppv , i also think they should start on 6 rounders , 4 rounds is too risky in case they got knocked down in a round they will have a hard time trying to win the fight if this happens

[Dan684]

True mate, very true

It is good that the top class amateur contests have gone to 4x3 rounds... it is a lot better for them to make the cross over in training.....4 rounds is a good starting point.... would you run a 10k before a Half Marathon??... it is about learning and developing.....progressing at the right pace... learning the differences as a fight moves on....knowing when to step it up etc.....

Lots of judgements are been made about Frankie at the moment.... IMO he is the best in the World at his weight at 4 rounds.... as he has said himself, he will progress to 6, 8 and 10 and be the best there as well.

He is in a great camp, with a great trainer and has FW behind him....all quality ingredients to drive him towards his goals...:yep

[Dan684]

^^^^^ This :deal

[cityofgod]

Frankie Gavin absolutely mastered the amateur game.

Given time, he should master the pro game too.
