Excuses will lead him to his ruin always.

I cant wait to see him and maidana fight again.... those two still have unfinished business to attend to and this time Khan will go nighty night

[Pretty Boy Greg]

learned any type of defense throughouthis amatuer and professional career thus far, he aint gonna learn anything now. Once he's in the ring with a decent to big puncher and his lil delicate chin gets hit, he's gonna wake up with a ref standing over him......

especially now that he is moving up in weight as well

I don't really think a zebra at the stage of his career can change his stripes completely. But I do think a trainer who focuses more on defense may make Khan a little more defensively responsible.

As for his chin, I think he has an underrated chin. By no means is he Margarito, but he did withstand an assault from Maidana, who we know can crack. So I don't think Khan is quite as chinny as a lot of people make him out to be.

Anybody can get caught and hurt. Problem with Khan is, his style lends itself to getting badly hurt. As he darts in and out throwing flurries, the opponent is gonna start to time him at some point. He needs to change his in-ring identity. A guy with irresponsible defense, shaky chin/punch resistance and little power shouldn't be fighting the way he does.

Could'nt of put it better myself. The rematch has to happen for the fans. Maidana looked good last time out, Virgil will have to work wonders.

What a clown to admit his defense sucks, such a lame ass, seeing all those athletes at Wild Card should encourage you to want it more, not curl up and cry like a babaaaay...Listen here lil girl, Hunter is a great coach, but noone can help with you glass jaw, your done in this sport, keep fighting non punchers and you be fine.. your never gna have a belt again...Ive always said your just a glorified amaetur at best...

Khan had better be careful if he sees Roach in person again. Freddie might knock him out.

LOL.

Interesting to hear him say he has a poor defense.

Never heard him say anything negative about himself before.

I noticed that too. I actually enjoyed him being real for once. He always runs his mouth so much, it is cool to see him taking a look in the mirror about his weaknesses (except of course that he is still not-so-subtly blaming Roach for his recent losses). Regardless, I like watching Khan fight and enjoy his pre fight buildups so good luck to him.

I think it's going to be a few years until we see Khan fighting a top fighter again. Another defeat and it's over for him.

I agree i think he trys to hard to fight like manny, thats why i think roach was terrible for him

if khans fighting ability was 1/8th as good as his crying and deflecting blame, he would be #1 p4p, but as it stands, his boxing ability is at about B / B+ and he will NEVER get to where he (and only he) thinks he belongs. I dont understand how hard it is to see that you just dont have what it takes to be on top. stick to fighting at the B level and you'll be fine, move up to A level, and well, you're gonna get permanently injured...
