    Just because its true doesn't mean you didn't split atoms to get there. You know what else is true pi.

    My point is, you're reaching to discredit the fact that Khan whooped Alexander's ass. No matter what the **** you said in your OP.

    You don't have to be "fooled" by Khan. You can take him for what he is. And that's a bad ass boxer who's punch resistance isn't all that great.

    That's who he is, that's who he was, and thats who he ALWwAYS will be. Take it or leave it atleast be comes to fight!

      He was due to rematch peterson straight up until they found synthetic testosterone in him...

      He wanted Garcia too, but daddy Garcia refused...

      Prescott I agree, Khan should have rematched.

      As for the other statement, Khan she's do well vs southpaw. However he's also changed how he fights, and more importantly train. At welterweight he says he doesn't have to cut too much which helps concentrate on boxing. He said he doesn't get hurt in sparring at a natural weight (dropped)

      And he also listened to Hunter won told him to bid just do a 12 week camp, but actually stay in the gym bbetweenfights to master his craft. He seems to be learning each time.

      Vs Danny he went attack mode and ******ly for tko.
      Even vs Prescott he tried to **** after getting dropped.

      He seems to be better now

        Good performance tonight from the lad but i think people need to look a little deeper into his recent record and you might see a few interesting things.

        1. Kell Brook just said that Khan has always been good against Southpaws even in the amateurs. That might explain why four out of his eight fights since he faced Chino have been against lefties.

        2. Since he faced Maidana (which he hung on for dear life towards the end) he's fought four orthodox fighters, in that run he got knocked out by Garcia, outworked by Peterson and also dropped by Diaz.

        3. So in essence FOUR out of the last five orthodox fighters he's faced (Madiana, Garcia, Peterson and Diaz) have given him problems.

        4. Those fights showed us TWO glaring weaknesses in Amir's game...the first being he's wide open to left-hooks from the orthodox stance (Prescott was the first to exploit that and then Garcia) and secondly he CANNOT fight inside which Peterson and Maidana demonstrated.

        Since his brutal defeat to Garcia he hasn't shown us that he has addressed those two deficiencies in his game...he's faced two orthodox fighters since then and Diaz had him on the floor and caused him all sorts of problems.

        His speed and combo's are to be admired but I'm still not convinced he has an inside game and those guys at the top level will exploit that...the way Peterson bullied him on the ropes round after round with Amir having no clue how to get out of it was incredible.

        Lastly just look at the Garcia ko HERE .The same left-right combinations he was throwing tonight is what leaves him open to a left-hook against orthodox fighters...the amount of left-hooks he takes there is just amazing...the kid couldn't adapt.

        Maybe Hunter has ironed them out? who knows....but he hasn't faced anyone recently who brings those skills to the table.
        This is all 100% right. This is a nice streak Khan is on and it is also good matchmaking.

          His big WW statement fight was Collazo and Alexander?
          How could Mayweather and the fans not demand that fight now. Wow.
          Ridiculous, fight a relevant top legit WW Khan.
          My only praise for him tonight is he resisted excessive clinching, kept distance and let his hands go. Then again Alexander isnt exactly a power puncher & had shorter arms. Probably explains it.
          ^^^^^^

          This basically.

          The 'new' Khan makes the WW division interesting.

          But he is still just another B class fighter.

          Putting Khan in against Alexander and Collazo and he will look good.

          Put him in with somebody like Brook - he will be tested.

          Put him in with Floyd, Manny - he will lose.
