Hype job Khan

[Goodfa]

After only one fight in the U.S. against the fading Malignaggi, Khan’s trainer Freddie Roach has already declared that Khan can beat the other 140 pounders in the division. I don’t know if I agree with that. While Khan did get the win over the light hitting Malignaggi, Khan looked really tired by the 10th round and his face was badly marked up by Malignaggi’s weak shots. I don’t know about what Roach thinks on this matter, but I don’t see this as a good sign. Khan, if he was all that, should have been able to breeze through Malignaggi without looking fatigued and without getting as marked up as he did. Khan looked like he had gone through a war by the end of the fight, even though he really wasn’t getting hit all that much by Malignaggi. If you look at what Khan faced in the Malignaggi fight and then figure the kind of effort and punishment that he would need to take in order to beat fighters like Marcos Maidana, Devon Alexander, Timothy Bradley and Victor Ortiz, I don’t think this bodes well as a predictor for the future. Right now, Khan is riding the crest of success in beating Malignaggi, but what does that win really mean when Khan is looking tired and getting marked up badly? What meaning is there in beating Malignaggi and looking tired when there are much tougher fights ahead of him? Instead of getting excited about it and seeing Khan as already the best in the light welterweight division, Roach needs to be looking at Khan’s performance with a more realistic look and see the flaws that Khan showed. Khan beat a guy that was hand-picked for him to beat, yet still got marked up and couldn’t take him out until the 11th round. I have hard time seeing Malignaggi lasting long against Maidana, Bradley, Ortiz or Alexander. I think Malignaggi would take terrifying punishment against any of those fighters and wouldn’t make it anywhere close to the 11th round. I think Roach needs to take a second look at the Khan-Malignaggi fight like I have and seen the flaws that Khan showed in that fight, because right now I think he’d be knocked out by any of those aforementioned fighters. He’s a good basic fighter, but he seems to be lacking in the chin and the stamina department. His defense needs work too. Khan needs to adopt a different style of fighting if he wants to beat the better light welterweights, because he’s going to run out of gas against them and if he takes shots, I can see him breaking down and getting stopped again.

Paulie did some damage to both Cotto and Hatton. They were both marked up a bit after the fights.

Very good points overall, but it's all been said, (ESPECIALLY BY ME) Khans hype will disappear when he fights the top A grade fighters. That chin is a chandelier, he ain't gonna make it.

I agree. I think the point is don't ever listen to what roach has to say. Lately he's been spouting ****** ****...

If Khan can beat Maidana..... He no Hype job and infact.. I would put him at the top JWW..

[Terrel]

I'de give Roach the sack if he said I couldn't beat the top contenders. As a fighter you need your coach to tell you your the best, for your confidence.

He most likely actually believes in what he said. Just because it doesn't push the right buttons for you its made you twitch. Khan will beat all the top 140lbs apart from devon Alexander IMO.
