Favorite Rising Star?

[F l i c k e r]

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. All you can do is wish him the best.

Who is your favorite rising star?

[gentleman]

Who is your favorite rising star?

Probably Amir Khan.

He has a bad chin, but his defense has improved recently and he's got great speed and good punching power. I just don't know what's gonna happen, again, when he faces a real power puncher.

This kind of amuses me. The guy loses one fight and he has a bad chin? Amir Khan is an awesome talent and one of the few fighters out of the UK that I enjoy watching.

I think the chin thing gets blown out of proportion. He got hit with a good shot, what can you do?

Michael Spinks got floored with one hit, does he have a weak chin?
DLH went down to B Hop one one punch, does he have a weak gut?

Sometimes you get hit, as Oscar said after the Hopkins fight, "Right on the button" and there's not much you can do about it.

Kahn will beat Paulie, and where he goes from there I don't know, but I think his chin is better than the garbage that NSB will have everybody believe.

The first time he had been knocked down it was from a guy who had literally never knocked anyone down in 13 fights. He's got a glass jaw. Not to the extent that people here say - they make it sound like a stiff breeze will tip him over. But his punch resistance is ****.

[Jim Jeffries]

Gennady Golovkin could be something special.......

He often gets overlooked on here. That one punch KO of Bute in the AMs with 12 oz gloves and headgear was a thing of beauty.

Him, Kell Brook, Denis Boytsov, Saul Alvarez, Matt Korobov, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Kubrat Pulev. Hard to pick just one.


Khan has a GREAT chin and CarlosG815 is a GREAT poster. */end sarcasm*

That's like somebody getting shot and they die and you say they have a glass heart. It's all about timing - you get hit in the wrong place at the wrong time and any guy can go down, it's happened to many great fighters.

He has been knocked out ONCE.

I know you don't think Ricky Hatton has a glass jaw, and he was put into a coma with one punch. Do you also believe his jaw is glass?

Shouldn't you be blowing random guys in glory holes while fantasizing about Lennox Lewis?

The quote of yours in my siggy is ban worthy. At the very least should exclude you from any grown up discussion in the history section. Run along now.

[CarlosG815]

You feel that strongly about Lennox Lewis and you consider yourself an unbias fan? Give me a break. Lewis is a known Phony to the boxing world outside of Canada and the UK. The fact that you would ban somebody for having an opinion other than yours when it comes to ONE fighter just shows what a ****** bias ******* you are.

Now can you please stop hi******* threads and trying to make them about Lennox Lewis. This thread is about rising stars, not has-been phony champs who ducked all contenders, took step aside money, and was stripped of every belt for refusing to fight better fighters than he.

You just said you know I don't. He got hit with a laser-like left hook precisely on the jaw. Prescott's shot that knocked Khan down was excellent, but he's shown less than stellar punch resistance in the past. He's been wobbled and knocked down by weaker punchers than Floyd.
