Amir Khan Master Thread

Haha, looks like Khan's lost some speed moving up to WW. And like I've said before, the only thing Khan has going for him is speed. Without it, he has a glass jaw and a low ring IQ.

I like Khan, he has excellent footwork & speed, can hit with reasonable power in both hands, and he comes to fight. Unfortunately that come to fight attitude has gotten him Ko'd twice but hes still young enough to learn and come again.

I personally believe it was a good move to find another trainer, whether it was Virgil or someone else it doesn't really matter. They just need to drill into him he cant be 100% attack all the time, a bit of Wlad styling would work wonders with Khan.

Every fight hes been KO'd in he was winning, he tends let his over eagerness to attack get the better of him and loosens up his defense and hangs his chin out. Hopefully this is something Virgil will iron out, and we will get to see the best of Khan next year maybe.

In terms of his ego, unfortunately lots of Asian, Pakistani boxers have this, I mean look at Naz & usman ahmed lmao...

Well anyway I enjoy watching his fights, I suppose thats all that matters really.

Dude you get what I mean, they are both British born anyway.

Last I heard Khan was looking for the softest punchers while waiting for a big payday.

Maybe moving up to WW wasn't such a good idea. He's slower, and there are some hard punchers at the weight.

Sorry but you're a dim casual if you watch that video and make the judgement that he has slowed down...

Khan had no option but to move to WW his body outgrew 140 in 2011. His style & assets suited the lower weight of 140...but he still has enough skill and ability to offset his higher weight and age.

Hmm but he looked fast against Collazo, will be interesting how he looks against Alexander.

Skill and ability? I don't know if you know this, but speed by itself is not a skill. It's an attribute. Khan doesn't have the boxing skills to beat the top 10 WWs. Khan's speed is the only reason he's come as far as he has in his career, especially with his glass jaw and low ring IQ.
