I think Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton and David Haye might disagree with you there, but I know what you mean.

I think Khan had tons of potential. He's got lightning hand speed and a lot of power, but I agree that he's not been allowed to develop like he should. He was put in against Breidis Prescott too soon IMO, he hadn't been up against anyone with any kind of power and Prescott has a huge punch, so that was a mistake to let him have that fight. He should definitely have been brought up slowly, maybe gone against Jon Thaxton for the British title. That would have allowed him to develop at a better pace.

It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
