50%+ of "British" pakistani's are in cousin marriages which was causal as part of an investigation into increasing rate of birth defects affecting the NHS.
http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Amir+Khan+Marcos+Maidana+Weigh+Ufs8V3mVrFul.jpg#
Maidana 5'7"
gotta remember an inch is only 2.5cm.
I'd say Khan is between 5'8.5" and 5'9"
Julio Diaz and Khan were the same height - 175cm 5'9"

Lol @ you chumps comparing him to Limond and Calazaghe... You realise Khan is 27 now and walks around at 156 pounds? why the f*ck compare a much younger and smaller Khan *facepalm*
Not yet.
His thinking goes out the window when he gets hurt.
Julio Diaz tagging him hard in the 11th round and Khan's eyes glazed over and he went to war almost getting knocked down again.
He's not overrated. He has earned to be where he is in the sport.
May
Pac
Brad
Porter/Alexander/Maidana
upcoming threats?: Thurman
Resume's tell the story.
Maidana has shown despite some lack of boxing skill he has the power, heart, stamina and workrate to make it up there with what are the better guys of the division.
His chin isn't that bad. It's below average at world level but that's it.
If it was as bad as people made it out to be Maidana would have knocked him out. plain and simple.
His problems comes with bad defence, bad mentality, lack of ring generalship, bad inside game and bad recovery power.
i dont know about skills but khan is definately faster than ruslan but ruslan is way tougher even if floyd was to fight ruslan i believe ruslan would give floyd more problems than khan would. khan has no chance at all atleast with ruslan he has a puncher's chance.
LOL, Canelo & Cotto didn't touch Floyd. You think Ruslan can do anything?
"Stands a punchers chance" IS AN OBSOLETE STATEMENT WHEN TALKING ABOUT FLOYD.
Provo has more skills and is a better fighter than Amir Khan. Learn to love it. Khan seems to have skill to the naked uneducated eye, however he gets hit just as much as Provo. The difference being of course when Provo gets hit he comes forward, when Khan gets hit Bambi appears.
People believe khans's handspeed and flurries equal skill. It doesn't. It's just a cover up for his many glaring flaws that appear out of thin air after round 4 when he starts to tire.
You don't one side Paulie or Judah without skill...
You don't beat Maidana with a chin that bad without some skill...
You don't beat Kotelnik (who I think beat Alexander) without skill...
You don't win a silver medal (yes I know it's amatuer) without skill...
What it comes down to at the end of the day is styles make fights.
Khan...
Provo's has no defence makes up for it with power and chin
Khan has no defence or chin, makes up for it with skill and speed (which is starting to fade)
Bradley would one side provo in a rematch...
Alexander would also beat him
Khan groups into the 'boxers' like alexander & Bradley but doesn't have their chins so would have trouble with Provo just for that reason.
Hardest
Toughest
Challenging
Very hard to define... It's no exact science...
This list and other lists like it are fundamentally flawed. It's what a person sees in it.
I mean pole vaulting? It's demanding... but only for that one jump... yet it's ranked higher than other sports which I myself would deem ATLEAST twice as hard I mean who here would attempt ski jumping? fck that sh*t!
Bradley ruined Khan...
By not fighting him early 2011 to unify 140...
Instead Khan got put on the path of a drug cheat who won by hometown fixing then loss to Garcia through macho thrustration. Now he is just a car wreck.
Diaz came into that fight looking for the one punch left hook...
Dropped Khan in the 4th.. but SOMEHOW didn't drop Khan in the 11th when Khan dropped his hands after doing a Pacquiao clap and taking 3 clean Diaz shots...wtf.
Still Khan didn't look strong at all :|
Khan Mayweather is next May 2014.
Then Mayweather Vs Bradley or Garcia in September of 2014.
Mayweather gonna take a paycut no matter who he faces in September unless it's Pac...
Ward
Devon Alexander
Broner intill he proves something...
Pretty much all heavyweights...
Lots of guys in lower weight classes... sub 130. Some reason I don't feel like they get that much attention and I find watching little guys fight kinda boring. Lots of sloppy speed or reserved boxing (rigo)
Roach was being an impatient ass
Garcia's attitude and manner towards Roach never helped as well as not controlling that midget loud mouth mexican
Alex Ariza kicked sht off with Parkinson's mocking then kick to the chest
Who loses? Ariza when he get charged with assault and Rios once he gets his ass beat
If Ariza kept his mouth shut, Garcia could have prevented the whole thing.
Ariza was looking for trouble. provoked it to kick off.
Rios is a good man in letting the kids sort their own pointless sht out.
Garcia was trying to explain to Roach the situation but Roach was being a *******. Even after everything went down Garcia was still trying to reach out to him. Roach has always been a *******. I mean there are videos on YT right now of him running off at the mouth with that temper of his.
Meh Garcia MISTAKENLY thinks Roach should be respectfull towards him...
Roach has seen the 2010 footage of Garcia & co ignorantly mocking his parkinsons... he shouldn't have to show any respect to garcia. If Roach was younger he would have flattened that Ariza ****.
i will agree with everything you say,,, but khan was prime when he fought maidana,,, now he is ruined from the garcia fight,, he should have clinched instead of being a gangster and throwing down,, the garcia fight ruined him just like tito ruined reid and vargas and mayorga,,
khan was a very good fighter, but at this moment in time, rios would stop him
I just think his style of boxing was suited to him when he was young...He can only deteriorate and obviously isn't going to get smarter. I think current 147 Maidana definitely stops him.
Alexander & Bradley were and maybe still are Khan's best chances at clawing back some boxing victory's to his resume before he retires.
Why is maidana so much better? He can be outboxed too, but isn't as hard chinned and has weaker stamina
Rios can be hurt. Don't let his Alvarado fights fool you. He was hurt badly numerous times in that fight.
Maidana has proven his toughness against much better stronger opponents. I still remember the days of Rios beating up opponents with his 20lb weight advantage...same goes for Boner.
Maidana >>> Rios
After Pacquiao destroys Rios and depending on the outcome of Khan's next fight I think alot of people will reconsider...
People act like Rios has got better.. hasn't changed really... Still can't box to save his life just brawl.
