Amir Khan Vows To Outbox, Beat Marco Antonio Barrera

[KILLA RIGHT]

Jones has a weak chin, but no-one realised it until Tarver and Johnson knocked him out, because he never got hit cleanly. Hopkins' chin has never really been tested because he never gets hit flush. Khan's tactics before he teamed up with Roach were pathetic, but Roach says he has an incredible jab (so does Pacquiao, based on their sparring sessions), which he never used properly before he joined Roach. He also didn't keep his chin tucked in, or use the correct stance (which has a lot to do with how well you take punches), and he didn't learn how to roll with punches, all things that Roach has been working on. Everything depends on whether Roach can teach Khan the art of defence. Roach clearly thinks he can.

No matter what defense u got u will eventually get hit flush and khan has a weak chin. Khan doesnt have the ability like roy did to get away with alot of the stuff he did. All of a sudden roach is the god trainer. He has a freakish fighter and i imagine how ppl would look at roach as a trainer if jmm would of got them decisions.

Hopkins has never been hit really flush by a big puncher and he's 44.

Also, Ali had a weak chin in his early career, but a strong chin later on.

I didn't say Roach was god, just that he's rated as one of the top three trainers in the world, and that he's generally rated by boxing experts as being a true boxing expert, and has a reputation for honesty; and that in his position, he would have no reason to take someone on who he didn't honestly believe he could take to the top. Of course he could turn out to be wrong, but to completely write off Roach's opinion is just silly, IMO.

Khan will get KO'ed in my opinion. He don't react well when someone punches to him. He has a glass chin. I don't really like Barrera but he is smart enough and dirty enough to land some flush shots that will put Khan on his ass.

I don't think Barrera will knock out Kahn, Barrera is too old and if Kahn is going to use "his head" and dances circles around him, he might win by decison.

Warren shouldn't have made this fight just on the fighters' experience alone. barrera knows every trick in the book. And will use them, just like he did against Naz.

I sure hope this is picked up by an American network. F da stream stuff.

So because a guy gets beat by the better fighter, that is reason enough to hate him?

Grow up mate.

Damn, so Prescott is better than Khan? and Khan is supposed to beat Barrera? A world class fighter?

Khan's tactics against Prescott were ******, and he was badly coached. He now has Roach training him, and Roach honestly believes he can turn Khan into a world class fighter. Plus Barrera used to be a truly great fighter, but he's a shell of the fighter he once was; and he's not a true Lightweight, whereas Khan is a large lightweight with a very good jab (which he rarely used properly before Roach took him on).
