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

[wazaa.]

Khan can't afford another loss, build up fights are obviously to risky for Khan with his chin for the amount of money he brings in. He might as well DO OR DIE and go right for another belt because either way another loss for him and his career is pretty much finished..

I agree with this. Amir needs to fight Peterson or Garcia next.

He should stay faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from Matthysse though.

Khan did enough to get the W. I suppose at times he showed some improvements by not exchanging when badly hurt but at other times he followed his instincts as usual. His punch resistance just isn't there and his defence is really poor. Sad to say but it looks like Khan is coming to the end of the road.

Garcia wrecks him too. In fact, he probably already has. I think we've sadly seen the best of him.

Virgil Hunter is the right trainer for Khan because he is able to communicate specific instructions during a fight, something Mayweather Sr and Roach don't do effectively in my opinion. Khan needs the type of trainer that can keep him focused on the task and effectively communicate to him.

In all reality, a trainer can only do but so much for a fighter. I can have the best sprinting coach in the world, workout everyday, have a great diet, take the best supplements, but there is no way in hell I'm going to beat Usain Bolt in a 100 meter dash. My best speed is still nowhere near what Usain Bolt accomplishes on his worst day. The greatest mechanic is not going to turn a Ford Pinto into a top notch competitive race car. All ****** Hunter can do is help Khan reach the fullest of his potential. Even if Khan reaches that level, it still may not be good enough to beat the elites in his division due to his liability of having a somewhat weak chin.

Yea I know It won't happen now but Virgil is not good for Khan. The only change that is going to end up occurring if he stays with Virgil is that he will end up getting KTFO in even less than 54 seconds like Mike Dallas did..

Wow...Diaz is not even really a contender, and still Khan struggled with him? If Khan faces Peterson, Matthysse, or Garcia, his career will effectively be over.

Khan looks ready for Mayweather

Good fight. Amir definitely was thinking more in this fight. He got hit with some bad flush shots though. Diaz was really loading them up.

Rome wasn't build in one day. Amir needs some more rebuilding. You can't expect Virgil to transform Amir just in two camps.

It's too bad Amir is gonna take a pretty long lay-off now. He will be back in December. I hope he doesn't forget all the things he has learned by then.

If that happened he would probably be better off. He looked better under roach and I dont rate roach at all.

.........................And, next up Floyd.

Better or worse, he's a big name and sells tickets. Boxing is a business.

Is Khan selling tickets by himself? Because this is to be the only way he would sell tickets in the future.

Garcia wrecks him too. In fact, he probably already has. I think we've sadly seen the best of him.

I disagree. I have Khan in the rematch. Garcia, unlike Diaz, is slow- and flatfooted. Amir will be better able to get the distance right with Garcia.
