Comments Thread For: Garcia: Can Khan Take The Punches I Hit Morales With?

[KTFO]

I only watched Garcia vs Morales once so I may be crazy. But I seem to recall Morales busting up Garcia's face and controlling most of the fight. Garcia missed wide with majority of his punches but did come on late, so he still gets props. But, was it Morales fading due to age, wear, tear, etc or Garcia coming on down the stretch. 7 to 8 years ago Erik starches this kid. Also, I can't get out of my mind how Morales was mocking Garcia's wide punches by throwing slow left/right hooks at the air with his eyes closed...some funny ****. Wonder if Khan can make him pay when he misses with those wild hooks.

The ancient and out of shape Morales took all those same punches from Maidana and had Marcos in trouble quite a few times without getting on bicycle or holding on for dear life. For that matter Devon Alexander thoroughly schooled Maidana on how to fight without running all over the ring. Khan has good hand speed and decent power, but Amir's chin will always be his achilles' heel. Theres a reason why Khan has only faced one man with decent power in his career.

Zab Judah and Maidana are both heavy hitters at 140 and saying only one of them has "decent power" is absolutely insane. Maidana of 2010 was in his prime coming off big KO wins over Ortiz and Cayo. You can't compare the beast Khan fought that to the battle worn Maidana that Alexander had the luxury of fighting in his hometown and at 147 were Maidana doesn't belong. But if you like triangle theories you can also bring up the Kotelnik fight for Alexander and Khan

Thank you bro, just what I was looking for.

Khan sleeps on his opponents now because he thinks of himself as a star. Khan will get pressured and tagged but will hang on to make it close.....close enough for the judges to say he won every round. Meanwhile, Khan will be bleeding and look like he has been in a war, good thing Garcia is an unknown.

Judah was well past his days and Maidana is an overrated puncher. Marcos Maidana has power no doubt, but his only KO over a top fighter was against Victor Ortiz. Bringing up Victor Cayo is as ridiculous as saying Paul McCloskey deserved a title shot. And i think everyone has learned that Ortiz, like his father, will bail once the going gets tough as he did with Mayweather and most recently against Josesito Lopez. Futhermore, to say Alexander only schooled Maidana because he was in his hometown is truly insane. There was no reason to think that Marcos was ever in that fight or that things would of been different at Jr Welterweight. I know all the Fans of Amir Khan like to think of Maidana as the most powerful puncher in the world but he is not. Truth hurts sometimes, but it is what it is. Kotelnik is a decent comparison but not sure how that relates to Danny Garcia? If you are comparing Alexander and Khan it makes sense, but we are talking about this upcoming fight with Garcia. I bring up Morales and Alexander to show Khan fans that Maidana is not this greatest puncher in the world but you guys will pretend those fights did not happen and will state that Garcia was just fighting an old washed up Morales, but forget that Khans biggest names on his resume is the old washed up Barrera and Judah. The Old washed up Morales was able to take all those punches from Maidana without running and its a fact that Garcia was able drop Morales late in the his fight. Kotelnik was a nice try though, but try again.

Although I think Amir Khan will win, he could barely take Rachid Drizlane[10-3 with no wins by KO], Willie Limond[28-1, 8 wins by KO], and Michael Gomez's punches, as all three of these fighters knocked him down once in their fights against him. And of course the most brutal couple of knock downs/KO was against Breidis Prescott.

As average powered as Garcia is, if a guy who had 10 wins, 0 by KO could knock down Khan, I think Garcia can also knock down Khan as well. But Khan has improved since then however. As shown in the Maidana fight.

these were at light welterweight. Khan was skinny as hell and tall for this class. he got knocked down quit often and still won all his fights until prescott killed him, actually prescott was just as lanky as khan was in that division. come to think of it. Khan hasn't been on the ground since he went up in weight at ALL.
