Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Amir Khan is a Threat To Everyone at 147

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya says Amir Khan (29-3, 19KOs) is a legit threat to everyone in the welterweight division - including the two biggest stars at the weight, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.

Khan has an important showdown on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, when he faces former two division world champion Devon Alexander. If Khan wins, he could very well land a fight with Mayweather.

I agree,Khan is a threat to everyone at 147....until he gets punched and does the chicken-foot dance

He's a threat until he gets punched in the face.

Funny how people always go to Amir's chin. His chin is fine. He's just an offensive minded fighter who isn't trying to win an olympic medal in the pro's. Amir sacrifices his defense to win excitingly. I give Amir 10 times the respect for his losses than Maynever gets for his "wins"

I just wish I had his insights. OK, his money.

his chin is fine. Cotto used to do the chicken dance frequently at 140. Shoot Pinto made his legs buckle in a fight. Now that Khan is at 147 his body is a lot stronger. Khan took all of Maidana's punches, yet people still claim he has a weak chin. The Garcia punch was a lucky punch, that landed at right on the spot. A punch like that can drop anyone.

In NSB terms Ali has a weak chin with the amount of times he was dropped.

On a side note: As much as ODLH is talking about Khan, he's either trying to promote his upcoming fight or the Pacman fight isn't looking to good vs Floyd

I wouldn't discredit may weather too much, but completely agree with your statements on Khan.
