The Real Amir Khan Has Never Been Defeated

[New England]

is that you, amir?

List undefeated fighters:

Vitali
Wlad
Pac
Cotto
Canelo
Margarito
Victor Ortiz
Peterson
Rios
etc

the real amir khan has:
1) NO chin whatsoever
2) VERY VERY LOW ring IQ
3) cant read & adjust in the ring to his opponent
4) VERY leaky defense with holes
5) is easy to time & catch im combination

Who really is the perfect fighter? Virtually every single fighter out there has flaws and shortcomings. The fighter who is closest to perfect is Floyd Mayweather Jr and that's why he's p4p #1. But even Floyd has areas open to exploitation so it's not surprising Khan does too is it...? Ok then..

Khan has yet to rematch any of the three men who defeated him. Prescott has begged him for a rematch for years and offered to fight him in England or anywhere else for a small amount of money but Khan won't even try to avenge that loss. I thought Peterson beat him and the referee was within his rights to take points away from Khan. The ref clearly warned him verbally to stop pushing about 30 times before he took any points away. Khan totally ignored the ref and kept constantly pushing Peterson which is against the rules.When a fighter consistantly ignores the referee's commands the ref has to take a point away or he loses controll of the fight.Khan looked lousy against weak opposition in his two fights with Hunter and just backed out of a chance to redeem himself against Alexander and become a champion again. I think Khan is not as good now as he used to be when he beat Judah, Paulie and Maidana. I think he would have lost to Alexander and he will get KOed in a one sided lost to Mayweather in May of 2014.

Didn't avenge his three losses? Let's have a closer look at that.

1) Prescott - when the winner begs the loser for a rematch, it tells you all you need to know about why it's not happening. Prescott has made himself irrelevant since the fight, and Khan would gain very little from beating him.

2) Peterson - it's not like Khan didn't want to rematch him. The fight got cancelled because PETERSON tested positive for PEDs.

3) Garcia - I'm pretty sure Khan would gladly rematch him, but Garcia has (understandably) moved on to bigger things. Khan has some rebuilding to do before he can call for a rematch.

they're humorous.

if prescott and danny didn't knock amir into next week he would still be the champ!

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.

I think so too, he'd beat those 3 fighters if things had been operating as usual but in those particular fights, the training camps, the weight draining, he may well have lost to many other fighters on those nights because of the behind-the-scenes problems.

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

Of course they can be disputed, anyone can get knocked down in boxing, it takes one shot to change a fight. If you have bogus, sub-par training camps, immensely flawed game plans, or incompetent trainers it's going to severely increase your chances of getting beaten. As I say, that wasn't the real Khan, it was an under-trained or weight-drained version.

Dude, I'm as big a Khan fan as anyone, but these are excuses, and you are doing him a disservice with them.

That said, I party agree with the last bit. Peterson got away surprisingly lightly with the PED use. He only got a short suspension, and the decision wasn't even overturned. And what's more, hardly any fans have labelled him a "roids cheat". I think it's because the victim was Khan, and when it comes to Khan (or any other guy it's hip to hate, like Broner or Donaire), the public is like "serves him right".

These are not excuses, they are just a factual account of events as they unfolded. If you want to view them as excuses it's your choice but I believe in reality they had a very significant influence on the outcome of Khan's losses. They were literally the reason he lost, rather than the actual opponents themselves.
