I'm afraid Amir Khan will get robbed if he doesn't knock Paulie Malignaggi out

i have seen the kotelnik fight. the only thing khan does well as a boxer is keep distance. he's still stiff in the upper body. his upper body is still square so he presents a big target. he's not good at slipping. he still fights with his chin up w/o the reflexes needed for good head movement. hes not good at maneuvering in close quarters. he doesnt give tight angles. hes not good at transitioning from defense to offense, etc.
it'll take a while for roach to reverse all the shtty habits khan picked up overseas. the kid was brought on to be a fast-handed destroyer, but he cannot fight like that anymore in the pros cuz his chin is sht. the kid is still learning how to be a boxer and it shows. he is still in a transition period and while he's still there, his skills are not comparable to some of the better boxers in the sport. paulie is a damn good boxer.
how the hell has malignaggi able to make it this far despite having the one of the weakest punches in the history of boxing? the kid can box....much better than khan. it takes skill to survive in the ring and achieve what paulie's achieved when his only weapon is a jab.
...and i dont even like paulie
you can keep calling my posts ****** or whatever. i dont care, but like i said, you cant say anything that would convince that at this point khan has better boxing skills than paulie.
However I also feel that only ATG's have the ability to do everything you have said. Some of it needs to be worked on, I agree, however he has the potential to be much better because physically he is up there with the best.
The style or atleast what is taught in the UK is toughness and aggression, however Khan does not have the chin for it, and he has better assetts like speed and range, which under Roach culd be a great thing in the future.Comment
