He is still a prospect even being a champ, as som1 said, just proves how much potential he has, I like khan i think hes great for the sport and exciting to watch cos you never know whats going to happen...
But at that elite level i just cant imagine that jaw holding up...unless it really has improved with the weight, and also his defense, But he does have heart and would do his best to continue so thats good enough for me
For instance, Marquez losing to Pacquiao the second time, is ALOT different from getting sparked out by a bum in 54 seconds.
A "loss" isn't just a "loss".
Funny you say that, Since Amir lost, hes now got the best coach in the world, hes working his his legs instead of his upper body, hes ACTUALLY covering up and defending himself, and has become a world champ....
Your right, all losses are different, and this 1 is the best thing that could of happened Khan
It doesn't matter in which thread I post, there is always someone responding to me and saying something bad about Amir Khan. Therefore I decided to start this appreciation thread.
I used to despise Khan simply because of all the hype that surrounded him after winning his silver medal. Many other British prospects were being shaded as Khan was getting prime time TV spots since his pro debut fight.
Since the hate he has recieved since his loss, i've become a fan. Everybody seems to be against him, wanting to see him get knocked out again. Ever since Roach has took over the coaching realm, i've seen vast improvements although it may be too soon to tell. Obviously he still has that chin which will put him in doubt against any puncher (if Warren ever puts him in against one again), but Roach seems to be working on his defense and his footwork has also got much better.
All in all, as the hate keeps rolling in.....i will be riding as a Khan fan.

I used to be on the train as well, but ever since the loss and all the hate he gets going his way, i find myself getting behind the lad and hoping he does well. It's hard not to root for him.
I treat and support glass chinned fighters as if they where my kids lol.
