It might be a good idea to stay away from KELL BROOK

I didn't see the whole fight saw rounds 5-12 Diaz was doing more damage with his punches Khan has no defense for left hooks if Diaz had more power he would have Ko'd Khan

absolutely no difference than when khan was under roach. the problem is not the trainer, the problem is with Khan and his glass chin

Khan said people would be shocked by the new transformed Khan. I think we have seen the best of Khan and we are not going to see the big changes under Hunter he promised.

I'm from the uk and I'm one of those guys that thought Amir would win in a rematch with Danny. But at this point Danny would end him haha loose as fook

How can Golden Boy justify Khan as the "prize" of the tourney?

He's clearly been broken by Garcia. On what grounds?

I know Oscar is a snake salesman, but even he has to do a double take. How do you promote this guy above Garcia, Matthyssee, and Peterson? its not even a sound business decision. Khan is one left hook away from retiring permanently.

odlh probably isnt thinking like this because he is a snake but he could possibly be using khan at the end of the tourney to try bring one of those other fights to a more main****** audience because khan probably does have the biggest fan base out of the lot

Not the same Khan we saw against Paulie, Judah, or Maidana. There is a lot of wear and tear on Khan now after that Garcia KO and I don't think Virgil is a good trainer for Khan. I've always said that Khan would do best under Floyd Snr. as oppose to Virgil because he would show Khan how to move his head properly. Apart from Khan losing focus he's still standing straight up after he throws punches which is the main thing he needed to change. I have given it 2 fights now and I have seen "0" improvement in Khan outside of throwing less punches and being more reserve which imo makes him even more ineffective and vulnerable.. Khan doesn't need to be more reserve he needs to move his F'n head!

will not happen though because khan still thinks he is getting a mayweather shot and snr has shown in the past he wont train a fighter fighting his son

It's a shame to admit it but Amir Khan is really done for. I love the kid and he's a great talent but his chin is shot. To be real his chin was never his problem, I know how crazy that's gonna sound but let's face facts here. He doesn't have an iron jaw but the cut to 135 was affecting him and the shots Prescott hit him with would have taken down a horse. At 140 he actually had a very sturdy chin. Look at his fights against Peterson, Maidana, Judah and even Danny Garcia, they all caught him with a LOT of CLEAN punches, he took them all, stood on his feet and kept firing off. He was hurt but he took massive punches in cumulation and never got stopped or dropped. But that's not where the problem lies, your jaw is like a wall and the more and more u chip away at it, it slowly starts to crumble, u take enough of those shots and ur jaw is gonna lose its strength and crumble, that was the case against Garcia and that was the LAST straw for Amir. The shots he took before that didn't hurt him were hurting him EVERY SINGLE TIME in this fight. If Diaz landed clean Khan would wobble. And the issue used to be that he had a good chin but he can't see and react to punches that are coming in. He drops his right hand and sticks his chin up when he hooks, he jabs and then leans on his back foot so he's open for a right counter, he just does everything wrong defensively and can't help but getting caught clean. Now his chin is shot and isn't there to make up for this defensive flaws when a few shots get through.

He's a good kid but its only a matter of time now before he goes to sleep and I just hope he doesn't ruin his future and end up punch drunk like a Terry Norris or one of those sad boxing stories
