Hopkins on Khan - "Ive never seen anything like this"

[awas88]

Bernard Hopkins, still boxing while working as a director of Golden Boy, Khan's, US promoters, said: 'I've never seen anything like this - a 23-year-old boy coming to America and turning on the speed, power and movement of the complete professional in his first fight over here. Incredible.'


Even Malignagi's promoter, Lou DiBella, raved: 'Your boy is great. So quick, so much power, such charisma. As a fan I would pay to watch him every time he comes to fight over here and I'm sure the same is true of every American who saw this live or on television. He's a star.'

Lou DiBella in another interview said "That kid just answered all the questions I had about him"

he was good in the paulie fight but this **** is overrated


he was expected to win this fight.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Well Hopkins did kind of water down the list....lmao.

[{Pito}]

That may be but he just needs to prove himself against a puncher. That's probably the only gripe on him. Oh, that and I realized that when he punches in bunches he tippy toes and his legs come really close sometimes as he is leaning in. I would assume one would need to parry his first shot, slip the next one and then counter him. Easier said than done though. He's good he just needs to step his game up against bigger punchers

Of course Hopkins is gonna give him props. He's a Golden Boy fighter. But Khan did a great job against Paulie gotta give him props for that. I'll be a believer when he starts fighting punchers.

ano lol its just alot of americans thought khan is just pure brit hype and not that skilled until they seen him fight live. More speed and skill than pauli and beat him better than anybody has before (shut out

of course this all means **** until he proves his chin against a puncher, but for now we can still asses his skills

[Boss Don]

ok come on now Khan wasn't all that

[maguirre]

There's no doubt the other star here is Roach.

He's turning another no-name into a boxing superstar.

Well, Khan might as well take over after Pac/Floyd retires.

imagine if khan had hopkins chin , he would be unstoppable . true what they say though you cant have it all for every great asset theres always a flaw all fighters have them
