Amir Khan

Bolton, England his place of birth
nineteen eighty six he graced the earth.
Starts to box aged eleven
quickly showed speed, aggression.

Three school titles quickly amassed
then three ABA opponents outclassed.
Junior world lightweight champ
Koreans watched his character stamp.

Victor Ortiz stopped in two
Khan a brilliant and notable coup.
A silver medal at the Olympic games
just missing his golden aims.

In 2008 he turns professional
winning a twelve rounds debut.
Two knock outs followed this
them Khan came amiss.

Breidis Prescott did the trick
one round KO slick and quick.
Khan, eight strait wins after this
had he got the control stick?

Lamont Peterson found him out
split decision twelve round bout.
Even worse was to come
against Danny Garcia soon undone.

Three good wins since that sad day
soon he could be making hey.
A fight with Mayweather could be on
maybe the money man's swan song.
