Anybody remember when Amir Khan said he used to walk through Pacquiao's best shots in sparring? Anyone remember when Amir Khan said he had one of the best chins in boxing? :lol1:
Yes, I remember. I also remember after the Maidana fight that Schaefer said he might have the best chin in boxing.
An interesting contrast. Yet a big swarm is not decending onto this site jeering at Schaefer.. He get's a dozen free passes even though he makes the most outrageous untrue statements, like the one about Khan,and worse.
But because Arum talked about the temporary stadium that MGM were willing to errect for a Mayweather- MannyP fight, the tormentors never let him forget about it......even though he was only passing the information on, and speculating how it would increase income and allow the less moneyed fight fans to attend. As Pacquiao's promoter with the best company in the business, it was natural for 'MGM' to mention it to him. And with no fight, they wouldn't put up the tadium. But people are still taunting Arum about it, why don't they attack MGM, or Mayweather who wouldn't make the fight??????
Well over 20 years ago, he went out and had a few drinks with a group of reporters; got a bit drunk and said a few minor things which were supposed to be strictly off the record. The next day, during some comments a reporter said "that's not what you said yesterday". Arum, as quick as a mongoose, quipped, " Well yesterday I lied but today I'm telling the truth".
He wasn't confessing that he can never be believed for the rest of his life, it was his sharp answer to the guy who wanted to embarrass him. I've always admired that comprehensive cutting-off answer. He's a damned quick thinker. But today, by the thick mass of ignorant goons he's always a liar. Never mind what lies these cretins spin themselves, they get a pass, becuase nobody knows who they are, nor cares.
Personally I believe that the irrational hatred and contempt they show for Arum have all the classic signs of Anti-Semitic hatred. On top of being a Jew, he's also the most successful Fight Promoter in History, with his constant innovations to popularise boxing. and bring it to the averags guy. That breeds jealousy.........
When he retires or dies, it'll be the biggest turnout that Las Vegas ever had. People will come from all around the world, and there'll be the biggest collection of famous former champions in history, with whom he'd worked. And tons of ordinary people he helped.
Wait and see...
His chin really is not that bad,his defense sucks tho.He was taking flush shots in that 4th round and did not fall.but his chin is far from great.
this, Maidana and Peterson conect power shots in Khan and nathing. His defence is terrible
I recall that on the BBC I think it was but that was a pack of lies he was down several times as an amateur.
Several??
Go ahead and name all these amat boxers who put him down.
Watson......
I remember in the amatuers he used to boast about not going down. So i used to believe the hype.
But Garcia yet again exposed khans chin, and he only punched him in the neck. I also dont think that punch would neccesarily ko most boxers in the division, just khan.

i do
i used to hammer khan for sh#t like that
i'm done with it. khan's a warrior and a confident man. i'll let him say what he wants. the guy has big balls. he probably still thinks he has a good chin and i'm not going to get on him for it.
he really won me over in losing to garcia.
garcia won me over in whipping his ass, too. that kid can f#ckin fight. not a true talent, but he knows how to fight.
