If Amir Khan packed on muscle to 15st+, would he be a good Anthony Joshua opponent? | BoxingScene Community

If Amir Khan packed on muscle to 15st+, would he be a good Anthony Joshua opponent?

W1LL7y ago

Considering these two have major beef, over AJ dropping the boom on Khan's wife. And apparently Amir is the UK's biggest star outside of Heavyweight. Could Khan retain that hand and footspeed whilst putting on 4½ st/64lb?

Let's have Inoue pack on 120 pounds of muscle, keep his speed and double his power and knock AJ the fuc out. Then he could be the BIG monster.

7y ago

He can pack 10lbs of muscle per month. I recall NBA bench rider Jim McIlvaine went from 7' 210lbs to 240lbs from June to September.

7y ago

The amount of roids he'd have to take to get to fight at heavyweight would probably kill him. Not really. He can pack on 20 pounds of muscle in about a year with roids with minimal effort, and about 30-40 pound of muscle if he does it properly and eats huge and clean

7y ago

I genuinely think Khan would rather be knocked out by Joshua than fight Brook. Then, Brook would move up to HW and get knocked out by Usyk. Why? There's no way in hell Brook's gonna allow Khan to be better than him at anything....even getting knocked out. Didn't he move up to MW and got KO'd by GGG just a few short months after Khan moved up to MW to get KO'd by Canelo? Man, I tell ya....Khan and Brook have a weird relationship, I swear.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2058390.main_image.jpg?strip=all Khan is apparently around 13st/182lb in this picture. Is Mackie Shilstone still around, to help him put on another 2st/28lb of muscle? Why is he wearing his wife's shorts? Anyways...if they could meet at a catchweight of say 190 pounds...I think it would be fairly competitive.

Could Khan retain that hand and footspeed whilst putting on 4½ st/64lb?Khan should put on 100 pounds to outweigh AJ and be faster than ever with an iron jaw as a heavyweight.

He may lose a touch of speed if he puts on 60 plus pounds........
