I think getting KOd in by an amateur might be the only thing that Makes Khan finally realise his limitations.
But knowing him he would probably get off the canvas and tell everyone he was moving up to HW to unify the division before starting his new career as an astronaut...
Not stopped. Knocked the fuk out. It's not normal for a boxer to get slept like that 3 times in his career. He's a glass chinned bum and you're stupid for not recognizing it.
Not with headgear, and not in 5 rounds....
Khan will blaze some amateursI agree with you that Khan will win his fights but I think headgear has been eliminated.
Not stopped. Knocked the fuk out. It's not normal for a boxer to get slept like that 3 times in his career. He's a glass chinned bum and you're stupid for not recognizing it. Getting knocked out 3 times is not unusual and doesn't make a boxer a bum. All time greats Hearns and Pacquiao were each knocked out three times. The great Sam Langford was knocked out 11 times but to be fair he had almost 300 fights. Pascal was knocked out twice by Kovalev in his last 3 fights. Many excellent fighters past and present have been KOed 3 times or more.
I think Khan's chances of getting knocked out by an amateur in the Olympics are zero. Khan lasted 5 plus rounds with an outstanding pro in his fight with hard punching Canelo. I am no Khan fan and it's fun to make fun of the conceited bragger but he is a decent pro fighter who has been a champion at 135 and 140. He will be more than any amateur can handle.
You'd be a fool to believe Khan doesn't stand a chance. But it is true that his chin is Campbell's soup in a bag on his chin. No way in hell you expect him to come out clean especially when there is more tape out on him than you can find on any amateur who he is competing against. But I'm really hoping the professional world stays out of this ****. I can think of a lot of American fighters who would likely deny this. **** also cost money but how does that work with sponsors and overall camp costs? Is it all free?
Khans been stopped 3 times in 35 odd pro fights.
Stupid thread.

As badly rocked as Khan was in round 3 when Danny clipped him they would've stopped the fight in the amateurs. Khan would've just ran around the ring after building a two round lead though if that had been an am fight.
He really only needs to win two rounds and he's a dynamo the first two rounds. I hope he decides against doing it I'd lose some respect for the guy.
Exactly its a completely different strategy, on all sides. And I'll take Khan in a battle of speed vs aggression over 9 minutes. He'd probably even look better if guys weren't using patience & waiting on him slowing down like they do in the pros. These guys fighting would be bulls to Khan's matador. A 9 minute fight ain't helping Danny or Canelo in any way shape or form.
And don't get it twisted I'm all for dogging Khan cuz he's falls down so spectacularly when he falls, but he's a quick guy with a nice amateur style who'd be hell for anyone in a 3 round fight. Sure his chin is bs & sure if he loss it'd probably be by KO or the ref stopping it, but it'll need to be an exceptional amateur style talent or someone who just got lucky vs him.
I get you. I just think Khan is too vulnerable. In a shorter fight he'd have to be more aggressive too and I think he would leave himself open. We've seen him dropped by guys who aren't great fighters, it wasn't just Canelo and Danny. Would be interesting to see at least, and if he did get ktfo by some nobody it would be fukin hilarious.
somebody must tell khan that there will be no headgear at the olympics..

Ah **** forgot about the headgear. Anyway doe Canelo & Danny couldn't KO him in 3. 19 year old Kimbaa Zumuuuchia ain't gonna KO him.
I think you are a great poster because of that bouncing booty gif in your sig, but I think you are making a terrible comparison. Canelo and Danny were fighting 12 round fights, it's a completely different strategy. Alot of pro fighters use the first 3 rounds of a fight to feel out their opponent. A guy fighting in a 3 round fight will typically be much more aggressive over those 3 rounds.
Khan fought 110 amateur fights, and was never dropped once. KO's are exceptionally rare in the amateurs.
They've changed the Olympic scoring system to be more like the pros. And when Khan fought in the amateurs he used headgear, which they don't use in the Olympics anymore. He's also had that jaw cracked more than a couple times since then, his head is basically a chandelier attached to a neck.
Stop it.
Khan vs Canelo in the Olympics is W3 Khan on my scorecard. Think I woulda had it W3 Khan vs Garcia too. Prescott would need to get super lucky with headgear + those amateur pillows to repeat what he did. Khan getting a gold in the Olympics.
No more headgear in the Olympics bro. Even with those pillow gloves his glass skull can easily be smashed.
That would be so funny it might genuinely drive me insane. I might laugh so hard I turn into the Joker.
And if I'm an amateur fighting Amir Khan, why would I bother trying to win on points? He's way too good for any amateur in a 3 round contest. Might as well rush him and hope to crack the china chin.
Exactly this is what they all should do. I'm sure even a punch drunk Khan would outbox most amateur fighters, but if they just go for that one big punch it could be night night real fukin quick.
