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

[Pacquiao'd]

where are bhops comments on how his boy shane got whooped up on by Floyd?

[wazaa.]

I noticed that Khan is a different boxer going backwards. This is not the first time that has been exposed. I am not impressed that Roach has failed to address it. Funnily enough if Hopkins was teaching Khan I think he would be a lot better. Because of Hopkin's analytical and technical ability and experience he would make a super coach.

Roach hasn't fully addressed that because most opponents Amir has faced since hooking up with Roach arent agressive. Roach thinks of a gamplan for every fight and fighters like Kotelnik and Malignaggi arent agressive fighters. Therefore Roach has put more emphasis on different things then fighting backwards. I'm sure if Amir is to fight a pressure fighter like Maidana, Prescott or Katsidis Roach will adress that.

LOL! Hopkins didn't say **** after Floyd beat Mosley and made him look like an idiot, but now he comes out and says something about a fighter signed to GBP.

Khan is good, but let's not overrate this win.

I had thought highly of Kahn before the whole Prescott thing but he still has a ton of talent and if he continues to work hard he really could be something special.

Eventually I think he will be to brave for his own good but that could be quite a ways down the road.

If he can keep out of dog fights he can go pretty far though and he certainly has the tools to limit the real fights he ends up in aslong as he does not get to proud.

100% agree. Was so impressed on Sat night.

hey dont forget lennox lewis got sparked in 2 rounds by mccal
and came back and dominated
.we might have teh same thing here with khan

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

I notcied he cant fight going backwards and looks uncomfortable during exchanges.


Vs. Guys who apply pressure like Maidana and Bradley....good luck with that.

[Da Hammer]

I been critical of Khan in the past but he is starting to win me over. The guy has so much talent and speed it's crazy! Roach has really done a great job of making him into a true boxer! Of course he still has a lot to prove but he certainly has the potential to be a top P4P fighter!

[hammerhiem]

No one ever questioned his Talent and especially his fast hands, the only question is over his chin and thats still remains to be answered.

And i don't see how that win was more impressive than Hattons, both shut him out and totally outboxed him, both where clincal distructions.

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"
