FAO Haters of Amir Khan

[me2007]

he has fast hands but every time i see him fight he drops his hands. Even though he won his last fight there was a punch which hit him and he didn`t even see it, plus his hands were by his sides.

I can't see khan losing through volume of punches but i can definietly see him being sparked at some point. You can see it now, but the guys he's fighting dont carry much power, although limond landed a nice shot.

Frank Warren really gets on my nerves, says on national tv that next opponant will be announced yesterday.

Late, as per usual

ill tell ya who i think will give him a good test? Ship old Renea Ganoy out there. He is a philo who resides in australia and recently has been in GREAT form.

what will change your mind?


just curious.

When he faces someone with at least a KO% of at least 60.. Someone who can PUNCH.. if he can take a HIT from a Big Hitter and still win the fight I will be sold.. But even the level he is fighting now.. he is still fighting extreme feather fists..

Lawton.. 20 wins 4 KOs
Limond.. 28 wins 8 KOs
Bull.. 24 wins 5 KOs
Medjadji 19 wins 3 KOs

and Up coming fight against
Earl who has 12 KOs in 25 wins.. Still under 50%
But easily the Hardest Hitter Khan has faced..
We shall see soon I guess

and my point has always been that there aren't any boxers on the domestic lightweight scene with a 60% ko ratio. the hardest hitter is probably jono thaxton and he's only around 50%.

yes, he could have fought people from abroad with higher ko ratios, but that would be meaningless unless they were known fighters who's records hadn't been padded (if you remember, he fought Vitali Martynov from belarus who had an 80% ko ratio but this doesn't mean **** cos of his level of comp).

so what i'm asking is who would khan have to face to change your mind...i.e. give me realistic examples of fighters who a 20 year old prospect should face. and don't start throwing ko ratios at me because thats not answering the question.


btw i do more or less agree with you about him being protected but i think a fight against earl would be an adequate step-up at this point.
