Comments Thread For: Disaster Averted As Amir Khan Edges Julio Diaz

[JuniorGong'sDad]

Why do you want to see him quit though?

What harm does it do to you because Khan has a glass jaw?

I hate wankers like you who want boxers to hang it up because they have weaknesses.

health reasons. His brain is getting shook up big time

Come on he's only 26, and has been floored cold once, yea he's tastes the canvas, but he gets back up 9/10

I'd agree if he was getting sparked out cold every fight, but that's simply not the case

He's just that type of fighter, sometimes he will power through and win and other times he will lose, you cant really ever predict the final outcome, only that he will be shaken at some point in the fight

what is a wanker ???? anybody ???

Khan showed TREMENDOUS heart and he got hit with over 50 flush shots to the chin and held on so he hasn't got a glass jaw.

He seems to have no power anymore and thats the problem opponents just walk through his punches,he couldn't hurt him once,even kendall holt ko'd him with ease but that wa s a dehydrated diaz.

I think khan struggles with taller fighters he struggled with peterson,got ko'd by prescott and nearly ko'd by diaz,and also remember this fight was at a 143 catchweight khan had to put on a bit of weight to fight and i think that effected his power and speed.He really shouldn't move up to 147

I've long held the opinion that Khan's problem isn't his chin.

It's not his power either.

It's his defense.

Half the time, he drops his hands when throwing. He was a bit better at the start of this fight, keeping his right hand high, but he was still doing it when he thought he was in control, which was when he got dropped. You look at the knockdown, his hands are just nowhere, it was embarrassing for a professional boxer.

He doesn't just drop his hands. He leaves his chin up high, again this was the case for the knockdown.

I don't care how tough you are. No guard, no head movement, and chin in the air - you'll get sparked. Khan seems to get caught like this time and time again, so the problem comes down to bad habits (from bad sparring likely while in wildcard wars) and inability to focus.

Floored cold once? Floored cold a couple times homie, khan is a$$ and ur making urself look dumb by defending his glass jaw. Just stop kid.

I watched Julio Diaz get knocked out by Holt a bit ago and several times by other fighters the last few years, to see Khan struggle for a decision and have to get up from the canvas says a lot about where he is.

Khan needs to be honest with himself, he should've beaten Diaz easier. he should seriously duck the winner of the GBP tourney and try to cash out with a fight against Floyd.

[iniduoh]

I said it once and I'll say it again, Khan needs Floyd Sr in his corner. Sr is a defensive wizard which is what Khan is in serious need of.

[paulf]

Until now I though he would come back as a force, but now it's clear he's lacking the attributes of an elite fighter. Getting slapped around the ring by a lightweight guy like Diaz? Man.

He may win a title, but his days on top are done

[mozzer101]

I think he's done as an elite fighter.

No amount of building up Julio Diaz can justify the fact that Julio Diaz hurt Khan so bad so many times.

At 147 he gets killed by big punchers. i see no reason why he deserves a rematch with Garcia or Peterson.

Imagine Matthysse!

True....he is not an elite fighter.
