Anyone notice Khan has been shrinking size wise

I thought Khan was 155 when he came in against LP? But whatever, He did look very frail against Garcia, and coming in like that, will give u a porcelain chin Nah it was Pete who was amazingly 155 after only being 147 vs ortiz. ariza was saying ak had trouble making weight for the LP fight which is why he came in drained at 149 and was bullied by LP who most though was smaller or same size as Khan. on fighthype ariza said Khan would be over 150's in the remtch before team Khan fired him. someone with Amirs lanky physique needs to put on as much weight as possible after the weigh in. Anytime he is even a little drain his chin will be glass. Amir went 3 yrs without going down with Alex. Ariza made khan not roach for Ak to side with roach over ariza after their falling out was his biggest mistake

You think maybe having to take the VADA testing had anything to do with his not gaining so much in weight and losing punch resistance? I just find it weird that he could take Maidana hitting him but not Garcia... even though Maidana had him on queer street he still seemed to take the punches better than Garcia's. I don't care regardless since Khan is pretty much done and finally won't be mentioned as a possible opponent for the elite anymore. Maidana was gassed & is wide and very slow. The overhand right from Maidana he seen coming but couldn't avoid, he took most of the sting off it. The shot Garcia hit him with he didn't see coming.

He looked bigger in his pics because he had just been training & had a pump. I'm sure you know about cutting & rehydration... What do you mean put on extra muscle to lose it in such a short period? You don't lose muscle that rapidly, anything lost will be mostly fat/water. I said this a few weeks ago when those pics came about and everyone was saying he was big & looking muscular etc, I said he looked bloated and it looked like nothing but water retention to me.

I think the 2 training camps back to back had a lot to do with it, not just physically but mentally as well.

Look at the HBO Tale of tape for the last 3 fights. He was huge right around 152 lbs vs Judah and McCloskey, but then only 149 lbs vs LP, and then shockingly came in at 148 lbs vs Garcia even though he was looking bigger in all his training pics. Love to get a knowledgeable trainer to comment on this. Aren't fighters supposed to increase their fight night weight as they get older/progress through weight? Its like he put on all that extra muscle just to lose it pre-fight. Remember how Tabares was saying Amir would make 140 on diet alone days before the fight without losing water weight. I don't see how he could have done that without losing muscle. He looked at least 160 in the training pics and yet he come in smaller than ever on fight night. Again its like he put on all that extra muscle just to lose it pre-fight. Ironic seeing as how Khan kept talking about moving up to WW since the Judah fight. End of the day I have to think that he would have eaten that shot better if he had those 4 lbs of lean body mass on him. Still would have likely got dropped but would have recovered by the next round. Thoughts? I thought Khan was 155 when he came in against LP? But whatever, He did look very frail against Garcia, and coming in like that, will give u a porcelain chin

Was the loss of leg control something mental from the shot? Or was it due to inefficient leg training? Or both? I know when that happens to me it's from over training and trying to over exert myself physically so I'm wondering if maybe he was over trained for the fight.

Ironic cuz they hired Tabares to make AK bigger and prepare him for 147, just like how he helped Haye go from CW to HW. Yet after 16 wk training camp, Khan turns out to be smaller than he was with Ariza. All those pics of him lifting and adding muscle turned out to be a waste because he was looking like a holocaust survivor on fight night. 16 weeks explains it all I think he was drained tried so hard to add weight but all that work cut it back down not to mention he was getting hit with all those shots in a second training camp.

His upper body was bigger yes....but its like the old days again, his legs wernt as strong....plus like you said, those 4 lbs could have been in his legs to help take a punch better Khan knows himself whether ariza or this trainer was better for him

Ariza........... Ironic cuz they hired Tabares to make AK bigger and prepare him for 147, just like how he helped Haye go from CW to HW. Yet after 16 wk training camp, Khan turns out to be smaller than he was with Ariza. All those pics of him lifting and adding muscle turned out to be a waste because he was looking like a holocaust survivor on fight night.

Ariza...........
