Khan showed he is good not great. Bradley shut that guy down.

bradley would destroy khan

Peterson did better than expected but he was still clearly beaten, take into account it was in his backyard too, that counts for something in terms of motivation, it's like Merchant said, Khan fought like the fight depended on it, Peterson fought like his life depended on it. Bradley didn't beat Peterson in DC and that was a tough fight.

You're right about Khan though, I think he's gotten even more frenetic since sparring with Pacquiao. He leaves himself way too open for a guy who doesn't take punches well and is very vulnerable on the inside.

I thought Khan took the fight in the Championship rounds, but it's a little much to say he 'clearly' won. Peterson really took it to Khan for most of the middles rounds- stalked him showing no respect for his power, made Khan look amateurish at times with his head movement, dug to the body very effectively and found homes for both the jab and the looping right. To my estimation, with all of his frenetic shoe-shine (which blows my mind since he has all the speed, dimensions and skill to really sit down and pick a guy apart), Khan did a ton of missing.

I'll give Amir credit for his chin though, actually. I know Lamont won't ever be confused with Kostya Tszyu, but Khan took some of his bombs reasonably well. He doesn't have an above-average chin, but I think it's generally better than he gets credit for.

You are a tool and your racist, bigoted views will never mean anything to anyone so please delete this thread and leave.

You may know return with the usual shit reply.

Where did that come from?

Khan proved how overrated he is. Doesnt have good ringmanship and has no defense. Peterson was landing at will. Khan himself lost this fight, not the ref.

Also was not classy in defeat, kept referring to himself as the "cleaner fighter" :/.

i agree - in my mind nothing changes; the fight played out like most thought it would - amir won a close, but CLEAR decision, 8 rounds to 4, or 7 to 5 at worst. . . peterson did slightly better than expected, but i fully expected him to win rounds. . . Peterson is aslo a lot better since the bradley fight IMO - he really has found a way to evolve his game to the next level, which few boxers do once htey reach that level.

The reason behind this significant "improvement" in chin is due to Ariza and his "special" blend shake. Suddenly, a guy who gets knocked out by a less powerful fighter, is now taking many, many big flush shots from a bigger and more powerful fighter? And then not only taking these shots considerably well, but asking for more? Taunting the bigger guy to hit him on his chin more?

[PEBBLES!]

So Bombs and Check Hooks aren't delusional fans for being afraid of JMM and thinking he'd be a tough fight despite what all the other delusional fans thought?

1. waz doesn't believe Amir is super-human and 2. Khan-Peterson wasn't being derided as a "BS fight", so he wasn't in the position of having to boost Peterson's claim as a legit opponent.

You should see some of his other posts, he's a racist.

But, he has some good points in this thread he made.

[americanbot]

bradley would outclass khan....

sorry khan fans but it's the truth..........

[KnockUTheFukOut]

with all respect...I am not even sure if he is all that good...HE JUST HAVE FAST HAND!

but besides the hands Speed...it is really nothing all that impressive about him

and I have always said Bradley would beat Khan, not sure why fans want to come and post that now after that fight, I did not need that fight to know that Khan was/is OVERRATED I always posted that Bradley would MURDER KHAN INSIDE!
