Khan is the new Gatti.

[Roy Jones Jnr]

hype, duck, chicken.. etc

these words are ruining boxing along with bon arum

boxers are gonna come along and people are gonna like them, they will get press because its whats needed for the sport... some will eventually lose

its life

Fickle cowards, these cowards have never stepped foot into a ring yet they are so quick to laugh at a fighter when he loses.

David haye loses to Wladimir and he's gets slaughtered by everyone.

He beats Chisora a year later and he's now got a legend like Vitali running scared according to these experts.

Fickle fools.

The best sport in the world with the worst fans in sport : Boxing.

Gatti is my all time fav fighter, but he never was on Khan's level. Gatti was a journeyman who picked up 2 titles in his career cause there were so many around. Khan was the man at 140, Gatti was never the man in a division.

[Southpaw21]

please show some respect. Khan is NO Gatti. Not even close. Garcia - Khan fight was not a Gatti Ward thriller!

[Bushbaby]

I agree and the same can be said for Ortiz; which is why I'd like to see those two do battle next.....

It's almost a certainty that that particular fight doesn't make 12. But Ortiz ****s him outa there IMO.

Dude, if you don't like the tread, just stay the **** out, real simple, dummy.

Exciting to watch & very vulnerable. He's either going to bomb you out, or get bombed out. His defensive liabilities have never been corrected & he's very far along in his career. I don't see the ring IQ of say a Barrera or even Cotto to be able to change his style to make up for his flaws.

Much props to Garcia for ending the undeserved hype & saving us from a painful & worthless ppv. Khan has got to do things differently or keep us awed with exciting fights that he's gonna win or lose big. Warrr Khan!!

I have to respectfully disagree with the Gatti comparrison. I think New England pretty much nailed it in saying Gatti had unbelievable powers of recouperation. Gatti is the one that got me in to watching the sport, you'd be watching these two sluggers stand there and take unbelievable bombs... Gatti would take a punch that made him crosseyed, and then turn around and return fire and flooring his opponent. Or Gatti would get floored off a punch that would land him on his ass- and you'd be thinking 'oh **** it's over, even if he gets up, surely he's done'.... only to see him get up and fight on as if it had very little affect on him - AND come back stronger! If you really sit and think about the type of back and forth wars Gatti was in (esp. the Ward fights)... the type and ammount of punches Gatti took - and continued on to mostly win, I couldn't even imagine Khan withstanding a third of what Gatti went and came through. Not saying Khan hasn't had hard fights, just saying I don't think the comparrison is in the right ballpark IMHO.

However, I think I get what you're trying to state. Both very exciting with tons of flaws - and maybe their desire to entertain and please the fans, over boxing smart and being more defensive, could be their biggest downfalls.

Gatti had much better boxing skills than Khan, more so at the lower weight classes. The only asset Khan had that was superior to Gatti was his athleticism, that's about it. When Gatti wanted to be defensive, move his head, upper body, he was able to apply that, though he would still get hit. Khan on the other hand seems incapable of doing that.

Gatti was also more offensively gifted, more textbook, had a great left hook, straight right hand, he committed to his power punches, while Khan throws flurries of arm punches. People want to act like the TS is disrespecting Khan, when it is Gatti being disrespected in my opinion. Gatti wouldn't have ran from Peterson, would have destroyed Maidana in my opinion, wouldn't have gotten K.O'd against Prescott and he would have given a much better account of himself against Danny Garcia.

As I've said before, Khan is decently skilled with great athleticism, that's about it.

Khan will leave Roach and get a payday on his way out. Again, Who noticed the right hands Garcia landed to AK's body? (ribs) That's what put him on ***** street. IMO...
