[stankee]

LOL, move up to 147... with that chin? I think he doesn't care about his life at all. If at all he should move down!

"I was put down in round four. Although Julio caught me with a clean shot, I was a little bit off balance at the time.

Come on man he isn't ducking anybody. He wants to fight Danny and Lamont but its not happening right now.

Well he said that and then he also said he would like to clean out the division. After getting out barely against a D+ fighter, he's now "not ruling out going to the Welterweight division". Now, I might be wrong in my observations but you wouldn't exactly be saying that if you were keen on revenge on past foes who, accordingly to most punters, ruined your career. If he really wants to prove a lot of people wrong, that was the wrong thing to say. Something like this isn't just said out of carelessness.

Lamont ain't ruin ish, was u talking about Danny???? If so I'd agree cuz I think amir got a raw deal in the Peterson fight. He probably think danny will win the little tourney and he said he might go up to 147. I hope after the fight with Lucas and Lamont. He might realize he will have to go up to ww to get that fight.

Nothing helps a weak chin like moving up in weight, said no one ever...if the guys gonna keep boxing he could stand to lose a little muscle mass and go to 135. That's his only chance to resurrect his career, otherwise he's getting cashed out in his next fight and its over....

Khan will be retired by 28 the way he's going.

Khan is great for boxing...

Despite a horrible chin he's always looking to fight the best!

[sicko]

HAHAHA You can't even take a punch well at 140...WTF are you going to do at 147?

[boxingmanic]

No no no, you people don't understand.

Once Khan gets married and busts his first nut , he'll be fine. You'll notice that ever since he's got engaged his performances have gone down hill.
It's cos he's thinking about that first nut too much. Believe me.

On a serious note tho, i don't care how shaky his chin is, I love watching this ****er fight. Better than the Berto's and Alexander's of this world.

He left 135 after getting KTFO by Prescott, makes no sense to move back down.
Moving up might help his punch resistance, but there are respectable punchers in every weight-class. He's gonna have to improve defensively to give himself a better chance.
