Khan's Oficial Statememt!

i dont understand how Khan can be both cherry picking and struggling with his opponents? Surely if he's winning some and losing some it means hes fighting at just the right level?

When asked, about a month before he fought Kotelnik, who is the worst champion in boxing Khan said Kotelnik. Then surprise surprise he moved up especially to fight him, at the time Kotelnik was the weakest champion in the division. - Cherry Pick Maidana had to chased Khan for about a year to get the fight, like really chase, even though he was a mandatory. He wrote to the WBA who FORCED Khan to fight. Khan didnt want any of Maidana! After the close fight, where Khan was knocked silly, he flat out refused a rematch, yet now he expects one from Garcia?.. Judah?? Haha, you count this as a legit win? Judah was way over the hill, hadn't been relevant for years and was proven to fold, just like he did against Khan. - Another Cherry Pick Peterson beat him up for the last 6 rounds and won the fight. Garcia Knocked him the fcuk out! Anything else you'd like to discuss? Doesn't matter if Khan thought Kotelnik was a weak opponent or not. The fact is Kotelnik was and is a top 140 pounder and was robbed against Alexander. It was a very good win. You ignore the fact that Khan was going to fight Marquez instead of Maidana until he ruled himself out. Khan fought Maidana (his kryptonite) and beat him in a war. Great win. Judah was a world champion coming off wins over Matthysse and Mabuza - both good wins. Granted I thought Judah lost against Mattysse, but it was a close fight. Funny how Judah was only old and shot after Khan busted him up. Regarding Peterson, Khan won in spirit simple as. It was only close because of the terrible deductions and Peterson was on PED's anyway. Garcia was getting battered for two rounds, but credit to him he exposed Khan's reckless style and non-existent defence. But these are area's he can and will work on. I think you should stop hating and just enjoy the boxing. Being a detractor is a very unlikeable trait. I don't care if Khan gets knocked out for the rest of his career, he's good for boxing. That's all I care about! I've not got the time to waste hating fighters who are doing something they love win, lose, or draw.

If Prescott did anything of note since whooping Khan, I think people would have a bigger point but he's done nothing. I don't think people can complain too much about what he's said, doesn't look like he's going to make any rash decisions but he has to look for a new trainer now. That is a must. Also the guy has to become more humble. He has to get it out of his head that he is one of the best P4P fighters in the world. Well said. Were he to try to make better use of his gifts and maintain a bit of this post-getting-his-@ss-kicked humility, I might start rooting for him in some of his fights.

yup that's right, anything can happen in boxing... especially when your technique sucks and have zero defense.

He didnt mention Roach in his statement,

Khan has hinted already at maybe switching trainers. He didn't come right out and say that but he hinted pretty heavily at it. Somebody needs to get some good advice to him fast so that he doesn't pick somebody who can do nothing for him.

Anything else you'd like to discuss? everyone of them boxers are talented and pose a real threat not sure why it's so hard to give khan his props, he fought some tough competition, its not his fault they were unable to take advantage of his weakness like garcia did. i'll say this amir khan might not be elite level, but he's better than ****ty ricky hatton and highly overrated coke head joe calzaghe who fought major bums and waited until all the greats were way past their primes and still struggled to beat them

yeah, like how sr teaches hatton on the pac fight.. oh wait...... Hatton was to thick and old to change his style at the point in his career Khan is still young and can still learn, changing trainers would be the best move he can make at this point in his career.

A Prescott match would be pointless, i rather see him step in the ring with someone who he can benefit from fighting and is a real challenger Khan really needs to change trainers, if he can improve his defense, use his god given advantages i.e height, reach and speed he can be a very very dangerous fighter. Khan was tailor made for defensive counter boxing, however Roach has turned him into a offensive fighter who throws a million punches and then stands in one place with his head down between his arms and calls that defense.

Most boxers fight cans until they're 20 fights deep. The only easy fights Khan has had as a world champion are Mallignaggi and Mccloskey. Kotelnik, Maidana, Judah, Peterson, and Garcia are all very good opponents. And how can you say he has spent a career fighting weaker opponents? If that was true, he would never have been hurt, and he wouldn't have any losses. You fail to make sense.

he should holla at floyd sr n get some defensive lessons yeah, like how sr teaches hatton on the pac fight.. oh wait......

Three of which Khan have made look 10 times better than they are.

And get ktfo by vic Ortiz? yea ortiz has been a juggernaut lately.. http://beatsboxingmayhem.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/victor-ortiz-v-josesito-lopez-20120623-201212-639.jpg http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/pictures/2011/9/18/1316354281393/Victor-Ortiz-is-floored-b-007.jpg

And get ktfo by vic Ortiz? That sounds good to me :boxing:

Except for a handful of fights, Khan has spend a career fighting weaker opponents. With the help of the British media he has made his name from it. P.S - The irony of this post when you have Joe Calzaghe in your all time favourite list is truly astonishing. :D

Why would Prescott even want a rematch over someone he convincingly beat, unless he thought it was an easy pay day, which is less than admirable? It should be Khan calling out Prescott, but he is under no obligation to fight him unless their paths cross. Face it, Khan has been at the top of the 140 division for the better part of 3 years while Prescott has failed to capitalise upon his world famous victory and currently stands as a decent outsider. Khan needs a new trainer and a couple of tough, but winnable fights to hone some defensive skills before taking on a top world level fighter again. To call for Khan to fight a puncher after he has just been KO'd is pathetic. He's entitled to fight a couple of weaker opponents.

He would be avenging one of his losses if he was too win. McCloskey beat nothing, Prescott was mugged by the judges. Prescott was killing himself at 135 yet still beat Abril & Khan, he gave Vazquez and Mitchell a real tough go. (world champ who gave Bradley & Canelo a tough fight & Mitchell is no mug) He has one legit loss at 140 to the highly regarded prospect in Alvarado in a fight he was dominating for 10 rounds. Khan has back to back losses, including a 4th round K.O loss Stylistically he is a HUGE threat to Khan, he hasn't any major flaws apart from his stamina and has improved sh1t loads. If he beat Prescott, I honestly would give him a lot more respect personally as I have very little doubt Breidis would K.O him again. You've been making a lot of sense today. The fact is, Khan has been dropped down a level or two after two back to back losses, I think he should count himself lucky the Prescott fight is there, because it will sell (because of the first fight) and if he wins its a it'll be a step towards raising his stock again. Though if he wins expect Sky and the British media to be up his arse talking about how "King Khan is back" and he is a world beater again. And then we start the merry go round again, waiting for the next inevitable brutal KO.
