Amir Khan: "Marquez Is A Better Fighter Than Both Alexander or Bradley." (Video)

[P-Killer]

P Killer, One thing I have noticed about Khan is that he does not cover up when throwing his combos and is very open to counter punching. His defense is a lot better when he is not engaging but when he he is in the pocket despite his hand speed his head is static and hitable. Also his leverage is at long range only inside there is not much on his punches. Alexander and Bradley Know on the outside they will lose and will be pressing to take the fight to close quarters. I see both of them covering up and bulling in,the key to the fights will be if Khan is able to keep the fight at long range. If he manages it he should win but at close quarters i see him coming off second best.

Yes I have noticed that too, well it's been his habit from day one, he moves his hands when he punches, but is slowly improving. Then again, most boxers open up when punching a combo when I think of it.

His in game sucks indeed, but he developed a much better jab and that left to the body. I think if anyone can add to your game, then it's Roach. He will learn some more in the wild card gym. Infact his sparring has showed me he's learning to fight in game, but ofcourse this is with headgear.

Close range I think he can lose, but getting there is another story. If you get jabbed, you can;t get in. Khan's jab is very impressive.

5 Years ago at 126lbs?

Yeah.

Today, 37 years old at 140lbs?

Of course not.

P4P he is still a better boxer than both even at this point

I don’t really understand why ‘Queen’ Khan’s head hunting Marquez after he clearly stated he wanted to clean up his own division after the Malignaggi scrap. How does this set him in the right direction? Also, him and Freddie Roach seem certain that they’re the top dogs in the division, so why not prove it and jump in the ring with someone that the public want him to get it on with.

This is Precisely the problem with boxing, over-hyped boxers claiming one thing, then doing another, backed by gobby trainers and promoters who have no idea what the fans want.

Because boxing is a business.

GBP have JMM and Khan, and both can make good paydays together.

Who out of the rest in 140 can generate more money than Khan - JMM?

Yes it's not right, I agree on that, but that also does not mean that one fighter can't beat another.

[John Hue]

John, call 999 for siren please he needs to see the blue flashing lights.

What I am saying is, Paulie can hit you. Paulie is very fast and has decent combinations but judges range very well.

Khan is not going to get worse, people say yes Paulei has no power, but what is power if you can;t hit.

Alexander is not on the level people feel he is on.

JMM wasn't great VS Diaz. I'm not even gonna use the triangle theory with Paulie here.

Bradley is the most liely to win, but not by KO. Now can anyone get 6 rounds past Khan easily? No way, he's fast, has a high work rate, is very big and had long arms. He uses the jab extremely well to control a fight now, and his hands are up a lot more.

I spoke to a trainer who trains some Warren fighters who returned from 2 weeks at the Wild Card gym about 6 weeks ago. He said Roach was improving his strengths but not working on his in fighting. He said the focus was on improving what he is already good at and working round his existing style and selecting fights where his deficiencies won't get exposed. He said Roach was great at picking opponents and knows who to stay away from.

Then Khan should keep his big mouth shut. It is no good talking about how he would beat the top guys at 140, He has to fight them first. If all he is interested in is fighting old names for money then fine. But don't go spouting off when you have no intentions of fighting the best in your own division.

Ah I see. I think I saw clips of Khan fighting this Ghanan guy pretty close up. I guess he isn't working on it then and just fought in that way.

I think Roach is ofcoruse very clever at who he picks, but he also wants fights worth good money too IMO.

Maybe , but H2H he is not. Which is why Khan will fight him instead of them.

It's like Wladimir Klitschko choosing to fight Floyd Mayweather instead of Jameel McCline because P4P Mayweather is way better than McCline.

[shade darkar]

bradley and alexander are nowhere near the level of JMM. Its not even close!
