escobedo or khan ... who do you believe in more

[baya]

khan, what can you say that hasn't already been said? escobedo, the promising lightweight from CA who has what it seems, all the tools necessary to become a highly skilled boxer/puncher.

the only time i ever saw khan, he was in w/ a non-descript and tried to blow him out of the water w/ his power and got caught more than i thought he would. of course, khan did this because dude couldn't hurt him so i really couldn't form an opinion of the guy. seeing escobedo fight though, its truly poetry.

from what i've seen and read about the two, i favor the mexican/american.

Khan, Khan, Khan. Olympic silver medalist as a 17 year old vs. an olympian?

Khan has been put in with patsies so far, but the guy is a real talent, don't know what his chin is like though. He won't end up as a lightweight, he'll be a Light Welterweight.


He is being very well handled, and he'll be a real force if he progresses as far as he should.


Difficult to compare Khan and Escobedo, as Escobedo is quite a bit older, and is a smaller guy.

Definately Amir Khan!

End of discussion.

i thought khan was fighting lightweight, just saw that hes listed @ 140! i saw a pic of him somewhere and thought he looked to big for a lightweight. whowa, so then since the kid is still friggin' young ... he could potentially be in the mix in 2 years @ lightwelter/welter ... whos style does he most embody today?

reminds me of hamed, tbh.

Hes got a style like Naseem Hamed, but i think Khan has a much better handspeed,Some people also compare his handspeed with Floyd Mayweather, his style is a bit like Hamed but without the ****iness, because Khan is a polite and humble prospect.

i wouldn't be able to take another hamed/camacho type - first time someone pulls their card, its over for those types just like rosario and barrera did.

His handspeed and footwork is better than Hamed though, and hes not ****y either.
