Amir Khan article

[KostyaTszyu44]

i dont hate amir, i dont even know the guy

but he was very overrated and perhaps this loss will do him some good

he needs to go to the states and hook up with the mayweathers

they teach great defence and emphasise not getting hit cleanly

maybe this would work for a guy like khan who doesnt have the best of chins

Yeah but i think that type of defensive style is inherently bred and Cant be out and out taught IMO !

Even with that style you can get hit cleanly.

Even Mayweather, perhaps the best ever to use such a defense, got tagged cleanly by some of his better opponents.

A boxer needs a chin, no matter how technically good he is, and I honestly don't think Khans is good enough.

Plus, I genuinely don't like the guy. Something about him just pisses me off, can't quite finger what though.

How many fighters did he give terrestial tv exposure to? Just like Audley Harrison with the BBC, he got ITV interested in boxing for the first time in years and other promoters and fighters should be grateful for the benefits they gained from this.

I have serious doubts that the BBC and ITV basing their boxing coverage largely around one prospect is really much good for the sport. (Yes, it means that at least some boxing is being shown on terrestrial tv and that is obviously good.) But it isn't sensible coverage of the sport. It doesn't matter if ITV can get better ratings with Khan than Calzaghe, there is no way that they should have been giving pretty much all of their attention to Khan in the last year. And what happens? Khan ****s off to PPV thinking that he is now well known enough to do it.

great post.

I agree with very much of the article. I have however been wanting to see Khan get a true awakening (he's brushed off his knockdowns which should've given him a true indication of his limitations so easily that it frustrated me). I cant say that I wanted to see him so utterly destroyed though. I think that something like this COULD be the makings of him. Attack-wise, he could be incredible. He truly needs to realise that it is his defense that needs work to cover up what is a absolutely **** chin and punch resistance. He can do it, but will he? Or will he just fight a number of tin cans for the next 5 years and pick up a lame alphabet title instead?

any article that quotes Nas is top class in my books

Unfortunately Khan is not another Prince Naseem. not even half as good. never mind setting records and being linear champ, he wont ever win one of the four belts. Not even a vacant one! I wonder how much Warren paid to get him such high rankings lol.
