Is Amir Khan a modern day Thomas Hearns?

[bravestone]

khan is hardly an offensive machine?

[Capaedia]

Consider that he outboxed Wilfredo Benitez and Virgil Hill, destroyed Cuevas and Duran in two rounds, no. I don't think it's fair to say he couldn't beat the best.

Also consider all the punches Khan got away with putting on Danny Garcia without much return in the first two rounds, without hurting him once. No, don't let Khan convince you he's an offensive machine.

Hearns was fantastically skilled as an outside and inside fighter and was not glass chinned.

The only man to stop him at his prime weight, welterweight, was one of the best fighters of all time in Ray Leonard. He still took some bombs from him before wilting. Same thing with the Hagler fight. Flush on the chin but he just keeps fighting until he gets ground down.

You can draw a lot of vague parallels between the two, but that's all. Hearns had a lot of things Khan does not have and their styles are not at all similar.

You know, great speed, power and an offensive machine but lacks the chin to beat the best.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, haven't laugh this good for a while. You have to be joking right?

Khan has no power bro.

He has a ton of heart and no quit in him though, a true warrior.

Blasphemous that one brings up khan and hearns in the same sentence. It is blasphemous to even put khan in the same sentence as ricky hatton.
