man amir khan is overrated just about everywhere on the internet...
now, i don't know if that's because he's being trained by freddie roach.... or because he's got great handspeed.... or because he managed to get himself a silver medal in the olympics.....
but how can anyone have watched khan vs. maidana and think he'd dominate either bradley or alexander? and yes, alexander struggled against kotelnik, mostly because he was looking past him...
khan's not built to be a boxer, he's got awkwardly long legs, and his back is concave as a result.... he can't throw punches and move at the same time.... when he throws he has to stop moving his feet.....
and the biggest problem he has is, his hands are way too quick for his feet.
he's aesthetically one of the worst boxers i've ever seen.... him losing will bust two myths... one; that he's some incredible potential p4p great, two; freddie roach is some kind of genius: freddie roach is all the 'white' media have left to cling on to in a sport that's been dominated by blacks and latino's....
and yes.... pacquiao's overprotected..... but i think that's more to do with money than fear at this point.... bob's looking for the best money....
