And to think the BOC was not even considering sending him to the Olympics, until his parents threatned to take him to Pakistan, and have him participate as a pakistani boxer. At which point the BOC reconsidered and now look he made them proud with a Silver and that too at age 17. This info is from NBC hence no link but I am sure many who watched can vouch for it.
Thats the difference between the British and the Americans, the brits are snobs and so full of themselves, Americans on the other hand will go out of their way to get a foreign national come play for them, provided the individual is talented, which Amir Khan deifnitely is.

I heard someone say he moves like Muhammad Ali. Damn thats good.
Do you guys know what weight class he is in now or what weight class he will be in?
Who would he fight when he goes professional? DeLa Hoya? Hopkins?

*he has a lot of work to do before he can even be considered as good as his idol the legendary mr. mohammed ali. @ the moment he is in the lightweight category which is around 57 - 60 kg but his weight will increase depending upon which category he'll start his pro career in. *

Why are comparisons being made between him and amir khan???
Khan has obviously way more potential than him, judging from his stats that you have given.
^ Maybe cause they both look asian and are lightweights.
4 all you Amir Khan fans
FROM ASIF MEHMOOD
LONDON - The family of teenage boxing hero Amir Khan have picked him an arranged bride.
Relatives of the Olympic silver medallist say he has agreed to the traditional marriage after being shown a video of the 17-year-old girl from Pakistan.
The boxer, also 17, will discuss the proposed marriage with close family after celebrating his marvellous run. A family member said: "It's a traditional thing. He's said he'll do it and it's been agreed but they don't know when."
The girl lives with her mother and sister in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Her family are close friends with Amir's parents. No wedding date has yet been fixed. Amir's dad Sajjad and uncle Iftikhar helped select the girl and have proudly shown the home video to other family members.
The three-hour long footage was filmed at a wedding last year and sent to Amir's family in Bolton by the girl's mother three months ago.
The lightweight boxer's future bride is seen wearing a flowing yellow silk dress and headscarf.
A relative told The Nation that Amir's father and brothers came over to Britain when they were quite young and remain quite traditional.
"Sajjad is probably the most traditional. It came as quite a shock to me - it was arranged by the older members of the family."
Many British Muslim teenagers allow family members and friends to help arrange their marriage.
British Home Secretary David Blunkett sparked controversy two years ago by suggesting British Asians should not find a husband or wife abroad.
Hundreds of friends and well-wishers are expected to celebrate Amir's heroics at a party in Bolton this week.
He became one of boxing's youngest silver medallists and looked a future world-beater in his final bout with Cuba's world lightweight champion Mario Kindelan.
