This is deja vu for me, I remember seeing this place when Khan got Ko'd by Prescott, the EXACT same hate bandwagon emerged, where everyone had their money on Khan being a flop. I don't think any of them would've guessed that Khan would then go on and beat the likes of Judah, Maidana and Kotelnik.

I just think people are blindly following this hate bandwagon and are completly underestimating him, some calling him "talentless".

That first round was significant, it showed class, speed and skill, peterson had no idea where he was after being dropped twice - pretty sure most people, even though expecting this, didn't think Khan would school him that bad at the start. Imo that first round could've troubled anyone, including Mayweather, don't see him "countering" ****.

Furthermore, I think right now, Khan has the most potential to improve as a boxer. I mean, the flaws we saw in this fight are so minor, this is what I picked up;

- Endurance
- Inside game
- Pressure fighters

All of the above can be nullified if given the right training. And once he improves that, with the speed and power he has, he can definitly compete against the very best. **** like "weak chin" is something you just can't improve much, if you have a weak chin, it's going to always burden you, but Khan proved that weak chin theory wrong imo, it's satisfactory for a Champ.

Anyways, you probably won't agree, but in 1-2 years time, Khan will fight Mayweather, and in all honesty, I think it'll be "closer" then we think.

The good news is Khan can take a decent punch. Bad news is his defense consists of ear muffs and laying on the ropes and more often than not, not punching back. This could be a decent thing for him. The possibility that he was totally chinless would have been worse.

I wouldn't say he's talentless he has a lot of talent imo and I see him bouncing back. It was sad how he came up with excuses for the loss but I do understand why he did so boxing is his life and that loss will be on his record forever. No one likes to lose but he did lose last night imo. Nonetheless he will be back and that's fo sho

I think Khan will bounce back; he is only 25 and has a really big upside looking at his skill set. It was a close fight and I think Khan would have won with some cleaner punching...I look forward to him climbing the ranks again against the like of Berto;Devon, and Ortiz...

He needs to improve on the inside though Ortiz and Berto would pick him apart otherwise

Khan beat Ortiz in their ametuer days, who do you think has improved more, looking at previous performances???
Khan all day, Ortiz only just got past Berto eh

There's baaaare Khan haters, especially that one geezer that sucks Bradleys d*** all day and contradicts himself wid everything he says... He had a thread made about him where he got exposed by i reckon a geezer called Wlad...

I can see Berto droppin Khan though maybe, unless Khan puts on his standard boxing clinique on him...

We NEED Mayweather to finally accept the Pacquiao fight though, i can't wait to see that p**** get his black ass handed to him

In all seriousness, Khan needs a new trainer. Its obvious from saturday freddie is trying to make khan fight like manny. Khan length and reach is amazing and he needs to fight like hearns. Stop that running **** and box, fight in the pocket inside fight. Body shots, uppers and proper right hands. He tends to put his left hand down at his waist b4 he throw his right hand. He pushes too much and fights very wild. He is quick and hand speed is phenomenal but, he needs a hard trainer who would whipped his ass into shape. Because I see a future in this kid he just need proper guidance.

(I root for all young boxers to succeed!!!!!!!!)

he'll definitely come back, if they have a rematch khan will win by TKO or KO, and if he cant finish him it will be a wide UD.

i think its quite interesting to see who khan fights now, i think berto would give him more problems than ortiz. i really hope the bradley fight happens now, im not so sure khan would win anymore, it would be close. if bradley can keep pressure on him then i think khan might lose, he is awful with pressure fighters.

as for his chin, it's fine, he took clean hard shots from maidana probably the hardest hitting at 140. i think he is more affected when he gets hit on the temple.

**komodo** · 12-12-2011, 04:08 PM

The blueprint is out on Khan he has major problems fighting on the inside and struggles against pressure fighters, although I had him beating Lamont it's hard to see him regaining that hype he had before that fight.

Hope this makes him train harder and try to address his flaws. he'll come back for sure just remains to be seen how he copes against top level fighters.

**wazaa.** · 12-12-2011, 04:10 PM

Amir's gonna come back.

Apart from Floyd and Pac, Amir's gonna beat everybody from 140 to 147. That little ****er Timmy is gonna give Amir some problems though.

Just watch.
