Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Focused on 'Statement Win' With Alexander

[bojangles1987]

Feel like I haven't been getting enough boxing or I should say good fights so I'll be enjoying this one.

This year has ******. Definitely lacking good fights.

Feather fisted? U kidding? Devon definately has displayed tremendous punching power in the past and im sure that if he goes for the ko and connects cleanly, he will disconnect Khan from his senses.

Tremendous punching power? Yes, mate. he has numerous KOs against elite fighters. LOL. Ok, he has decent power, but definitely not devastating power by any means. he is not a ko puncher. Khan is goingto walk true him, if he doesn't get wreckless.

Khan is underrated by many and hated by a lot, although 99% of hatred towards him is based on him being a Pakistani ****** and / or British.

People say he has no chin. What do they actually mean? Lets discuss this with some level of normal behaviour shall we:

Is every boxer who has ever been knocked out or stopped guilty of having no chin? Ali, Fraser, Lewis, Morales, Pac Man. Can go on and on. Being knocked down doesnt mean you have no chin. If Froch can be put down, anyone can.

Does he (Khan) go down every time he is hit. No. Has he ever been stopped by one punch. No. Has he ever been stopped not on his feet. No. He has been stopped once by Prescott and once by Garcia. Garcia got lucky, lets face it. He hit him, Khan's eardrum went, which is bad luck, and as a result he couldn't recover as he lost balance. Prescott, he was young and naive. He went to war when hurt, under Hunter he wont be doing that again I wouldn't have thought. He still got up against both multiple times and carried on trying to fight. So clearly he has a chin as he can take a punch. No one says that about Pac Man after his one punch KO. It is a nonsense.

Eventough I agree that Khans chin is not the best in the business, I have to say that it is not the worst either. He has the tendency (or has had) to basically run into punches with his chin up. I believe he has corrected that flaw, and is not fighting as wrecklessly as in the past. Thanks to his new trainer, I believe ( and maturity).

Khan indeed is underrated by many. But at the same time he has to prove himself against Alexander to get bigger fights and stay on the top. cant wait for this one.

thats just an ignorant thing to say. Some people say hes overrated and "hated", as you say, because he lost to ALL his top opposition, and gets knocked around senless by those same top fighters. He also hasn't had a significant win at 140 let alone 147 where he had, ONE FIGHT!

He beat 2 of Cotto's better wins in way more convincing fashion than he did. What ALL top Opposition you're talking about? His only 2 'legit' losses are Garcia and Presscot while beaten guys like Barerra,Paulie,Judah,Maidana,Kotelnik.


and he's never been knocked out senseless, always finished on his feet in both of his losses.

AMIR KHAN admits he is facing a make-or-break fight against Devon Alexander in Las Vegas next week.

Victory over the American on December 13 will catapult him into a megabucks clash with Floyd Mayweather next year while defeat will drop him out of contention.

Khan is desperate to lock horns with Mayweather, who currently holds three world belts, but knows that Alexander provides the toughest of stumbling blocks.

Floyd is praying Amir wins big. That is Floyd's number one option AGAIN.

Khan is underrated by casual fans. They only see his KO loss to Garcia (which he was winning) and the Preidis- fight. Khan has a good resume, with world class victories.

Khan is a flawed fighter, yes. But at the same time he is a world class beater, no question about it.
