Amir Khan's heart is extremely underrated

[PRINCEKOOL]

No serious boxing fan or expert can question Amir Khan's heart.

Universally, Amir Khan has been deemed to have terrible punch resistance. But even still, Khan 99.99% of the time fights aggressively and offensively. There's always a point in the fight where, he seems not to be able to help himself 'And he just reverts back to type and fights'.

Even his reaction to losses, proves that he has immense heart. I always remember after his first loss, the very next day 'He was on a news channel, training in his gym or gym somewhere' And he was proclaiming that he will become World Champion.

I have highlighted this before? Fighters like Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder, Derek Chisora. They have this kind of, primal defiance. I have never actually grouped Khan with those fighters, but when I think about it 'He has that same kind of ignorance, to violence'. The way he bounces back real quick after devastating loses, it is not a normal trait you see in fighters. Plus Khan always comes to fight, yes his punch resistance catches him out sometimes 'But for as long as he is in there, he will always produce resistance'.

Shallow thinking fight fans tend to look at undefefeated record gabage without looking at quality of opponents.

Khan's record is full of tough fights.

Nah he a warrior, him and Brook but end up quitting late in their careers. I personally don't like judging these guys for quitting

With that weak chin, does it matter?

Yes it does matter even more that he’s willing to fight till the end with a weak chin. That makes him even more gangster.

Khan is a warrior who is willing to Face anybody even when he’s at a disadvantage. I never understood why he has so many haters.

We need more fighters like Amir Khan in this sport.

Would you ever buy a high performance car with transmission problems?!?!?

He used to yes. The quit job against Bud shows me that heart isn’t the same anymore. But I don’t expect either to quit in this fight. Way too much pride against each other here

Bingo. He used to show heart.

He quit against Crawford. He got hit in the thigh and saw his opportunity to quit. He didnt even try to take his 5 minutes he just up and quit. Crawford called him out on it to his face and he didnt even have an answer. he just stuttered shocked that someone would say it so bluntly.

I think in general Khan just has one foot out the door at this stage.

In his prime though yeah he had amazing fight, credit to a guy who can get knocked unconscious and come back fighting with zero fear.

Not like Anthony Joshua who has never actually been ko'd but fights with terror in his eyes ever since he had a bad night vs Ruiz Jr.

Again Khan is a record paddler now, not a climbing contender or would be champion, he's just in there to get paid, Crawford fought him as an easy opponent with name value left so he got an effort representative of that.

I only have issues with fighters quitting if they are in their primes not when everyone knows they are washed up and half shot.

Stop praising this man for being good at getting beaten up. It's boxing. The point is to hit and not be hit.
