Comments Thread For: Sugar Ray: Khan Needs To Be More Aggressive, Active

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

What is the connection between Sugar Ray and Khan? Is that his mentor? Isn't this like the 2nd time he goes on TV talking about Khan?

Before he said Khan was a lot like him or something like that no?

[sjanjua]

why do you guys don't rate sugar ray leonard's opinion since he knows more about boxing and boxing talent than you. Khan is the best British boxer. You just hate without logic. Peterson will be hurt in the next fight as he won't give up and take a terrible beating from Khan who cant afford and won't make the same mistakes again.

to early to draw conclusions. The rematch will speak voloumes though

I can't wait for this fight. I have a feeling this fight is going to end an a knockout.

Why should Khan have to infight? He has the longer reach faster hands and feet be more aggressive keep the fight at the distance you want it with your Jab be more active with it push Peterson back keep him on the defensive when Khan went with the high guard and let Peterson get close that's when his troubles began if this fight is contested on the inside Khan will lose so if he's the one dictating he'll be fine. If he can do that for 12 rounds...

Khan is too far gone too change hes fighting ways..he should have started those things when he was a amature..Khan only has speed thats it..once someone closes the distance he is done for he cant fight on the inside nor does he posses great Defence to slip and counter most of the punches ..he needs to use a stiff jab cuz he does have a good left hand b very patient without burning hes energy up by throwing 10 punch combo and only manage to land 2 or 3 off it..he should stop throwing those usless combos concerve that energy of hes and land more accurate 2 or 3 combos than wasting it on useless shoeshining! and he should learn how to fight on the inside with defence when he has to he still fights like a complete amature with hes lunging wide open if someone like a great counter puncher fought him he woould b seriously hurt or KO'd its a matter of time so he needs to go back to the drawing board and work on fundamentals not just speed..Khan has speed and that will always b hes biggest strength so he shouldnt work on that constantly rather he should work on hes weakness
1 Jab
2 Patience
3 Inside fighting
4 set up the punches with a stiff jab no more LUNGING
5 Stay Calm under pressure
6 DEFENCE!!!!!! where is Khan's Defence??!!!! Khan has very little defence where he puts hes hands up and cover up!? he needs to duck/slip/and lean back and step to the side he needs to learn defence otherwise hes gona have to take alot of punishment in these fights to come or even b KO'd Again..Khan is very talented fighter.. IMHO roach is not the one to teach him how to Box..roach is a good trainer for aggressive fighters who focus more on Offence and very little defence..Mayweather sr Can take him to the next level/Steward is another Great fundamental Trainer i would recommend Nacho too but he speaks only spanish so that would b very difficult but Floyd Sr should teach him good but i doubt Khan would dumb Roach for some other great fundamental/Boxing Coach cuz thats what he needs to grow and let go of hes weakeanss ..or maybe its too late he should have learnt all those things when he was a olympian..

Me too Im planning on going to this one. But I expect this fight to go the distance again this time. But I wouldn't be all that surprised by a later round knockout. I think both will come into this fight better prepared than the first IMO and that hopefully makes for another good fight.

Just because Ray is a legend, it doesn't mean he's always going to be spot on with his analysis. Eddie Futch was one of the greatest trainers ever and he made some pretty bad predictions. Muhammad Ali picked Michael Spinks to beat Mike Tyson.

Khan is just not very good on the top level. His actual skills are overrated as hell, he is just a guy with some speed and athleticism. If he gets past Peterson, he is going to lose again soon in the future. He simply lacks too many things.

I agree somewhat he needs to stop throwing 6 combo punches stick with 3 max and make em ALL count. he has the speed to counterpunch the best of them. I want to his jabs more spread out. Just one solid jab at a time. And also maybe 5 more pounds after the weigh in. Peterson had 5 pounds on Khan when they stepped into the ring - enabling peterson to brush off power shots by khan
