The Real Amir Khan Has Never Been Defeated

[Ghazan]

you're correct..the loss to prescott can be explained as he was still in the learning process..just like pacman's 2 early losses

the loss to Lamont Peterson was a robbery the ref favoured peterson....haters must be blind not to see it

the loss to Garcia..was foolishness on Amir's part...he dominated the first 2 round and got ****y and Garcia caught him with a LUCKY SHOT..

im 100% sure Khan would beat Garcia in the rematch...Khan is a much more skilled boxer than Garcia..and Virgil must have improved his defence by then.


Much respect for this thorough and informative article

I could have given him that if Garcia didn't recently prove how legit he is.

He could honestly beat those 3 fighters if he was focussed and had a good training camp, but the fact he wasn't able to deal with them easily proves that isn't as good as he thinks. I think he'll trouble Mayweather because of his style, but put him in there with a Pacquiao or Cotto or fast, strong, skilled boxer and he'll break.

The Peterson fight which I thought Khan deserved is the only one that can be challenged, the other losses were KO loses which people should understand cannot be disputed, and they weren't early stoppages either, in both cases Khan could not recover especially in the Prescott fight

What a load of nonsense.

It's widely known that before the Prescott fight Khan was struggling badly with making weight at 135. He was simply very badly weight-drained. He made a huge mistake by picking an extremely poor new trainer who not only suggested Prescott as an opponent, but also gave Khan a game plan which involved rushing in on Prescott, trying to KO him early. It was a game plan which would probably get almost any elite fighter in serious trouble against a power puncher like Prescott who is always very dangerous early on in fights. Needless to say, that trainer only trained Khan for the one fight. His game plan was essentially getting a weight-drained fighter to run at a proven power puncher (Prescott at the time had a 94% KO ratio in 19 fights).

Against Garcia, Khan went through one of his worst camps ever, largely due to the faults of the core training team. He had just split ways with Alex Ariza, his long time strength and conditioning coach. Instantly, this was a pretty significant alteration to the team. What made things much worse was that Freddie Roach was busy training Pacquiao in the Philippines for the Bradley fight so Khan didn't even have his main trainer consistently in the camp. Footage of Khan sparring during this camp just served to highlight how poor training was going, Khan was basically trying to brawl with a middleweight, technique was virtually non-existent, and Freddie Roach wasn't even in the same country at the time.

Peterson of course has always been a non-consideration. Not only did Khan have to deal with a crooked referee and bent judges, essentially getting robbed by points, but we later found out that Peterson had been using PEDs for that fight, he'd been cheating all along.
