Amir Khan is a P4P fighter

[Kris Silver]

As an all round fighter he's simply not P4P yet, that's crazy I'm afraid. He's not even in the top 5 of the division to be in contention for it.

I still can't help but think he's now actually for once being over rated. I could well be wrong and would have like to be.

To be fair Marco did land one ok shot on him, and Khan put his hands up to the crowd as if to show it didn't hurt and get some cheers going.

If he keeps with Roach then I will actually begin to have more faith in him, as that's clearly doing him a lot of good. Living in America seems to have matured him, made him more focused on boxing too. I do admire that tremendously I have to say, especially for a lad his age.

I think this has come across the wrong way.

Amir Khan is a P4P fighter, if it wern't for his defensive vulnerabilities.

Thats kind of what I meant.

So what you're saying is he's not and never will be a P4P fighter.

And anyway I disagree he has no power at all so wouldn't be P4P even if he had a chin.

I hear what you are saying, if he had a solid chin I would pick him over any LW except JMM and Juan Diaz. I think he should take on a Katsidis or possibly a casamayor next to see how he could cope with the better lightweights.

I disagree. i don't consider superb power 2 be a trait 1 must have as a p4p ranked fighter. khany boy has the physical tools,(aside from the chin), a solid training environment and seems quick to pick up new skills. iv got a 20 quid bet with my bro that 1 day hel be in the top 5 p4p. (hes got a speedy kind of power which is effective when they coming in also =)

No power at all? Don't be ridiculous. He doesn't have one punch KO power, but his punches are still very strong and accurate.

Speed can create power, speed can create knockouts.

Speed creates accumilation of punches, Khan might not have the best power, but say for every JMM punch, Khan has hit you 3 times.

It's being hit all the time that can put you off your game, and put you into a type of daze. Not only that, He is a VERY accurate fighter.



Watch from 4:45. Gomez is very true to point.

I disagree

he's wild, sloppy and technically flawed very deeply

he seems to have improved on it somewhat under Roach but at the cost of power and less of his punches seem to get through (cos he's throwing so much less i imagine)

and his physical attributes have always been his greatest advantage

[letsgobrady]

not even manny pacquiao? who took immediate rematch with erik morales and ko'd him?

manny's fight with erik was a big fight and more or less a creer defining match where as amir khan's fight with prescott was not a big deal for the most part if you are not a fan or hate amir you did not know about the prescott fight amir is not even top 10 in his division where manny and erik were arguably the #1 and # 2 in the division

LOL... avg chin...

Some people are so obtuse it isn't even funny.
