Comments Thread For: Thurman Ready For Brook, Says Khan is Overrated

[SugarRaRobinson]

I never said that, that's how overly defensive you are, gotta make insinuations I never alluded to. Khan being able to out punch guys, with all the holes he has in his armor is not commendable.

I didn't insinuate anything , I asked u was that your implication . Kahns record is 33/2 (no I don't count the phony Peterson decision) , and he's fought everyone imaginable . He's always asked for the toughest fights and has always attempted to avenge his losses (Garcia wanted no parts of a rematch ) . U claim he has so many holes but I really don't see how ? His chin issues may even be a thing of the past now that Hunters training him . If that happens to prove true , who can beat him ? I really don't know why people are so critical of Kahn ? It's really baffling ???

If Alexander is a JWW, what is Guerrero? Besides Thurman's best opponent to date that is.

Alexander nor Collazo couldn't exploit those holes because for starters they fought under a favorable style, Collazo was practically done. The last time he fought a fighter who pressured, punch decently and can fight on the inside was Diaz. Khan still lost 4 rounds and got dropped against Diaz, that was under Hunter. That should be alarming to many but for some strange reason it isn't. That's more of my issue with Khan, how do we know he isn't the same fighter against those who refuse to give him that distance and can work inside?

That's right, overlook tonight's opponent, fall into the trap boy, fall hard.

Forget everything outside the ring, purely based on boxing skill Khan is nearly unbeatable. If you want to beat him, you have to stop him. Only Floyd can outbox him imo and that would be a difficult fight.

Who would win that fight?

Now were getting somewhere , I like your analysis ! And to answer ur question ; we won't know until he fights and we get to see . I'm not trying to imply he's a perfect fighter but I am acknowledging his speed and punch output which I think are 2nd to none in and around his weight class . Not to mention his courageousness that prompts him to always want to fight the best fighters . He ducks absolutely no one . He also makes for VERY exciting fights with his style . This is why his criticism is always so unwarranted to me . As a matter of fact , many of his technical flaws can probably be attributed to him spending most of his impressionable years under Freddie "The Joke" Roach, who is the worst technical trainer I've ever seen . Not to mention Kahn said that he could barley get the training necessary because all the Roach does is focus on his cash cow PAC MAN . What Khan prolly doesn't realize is that Roaches neglect was a good thing !

Imagine if Steward or Sugar Hill trained Khan.

I'm glad you at least acknowledge, most won't even do that. Again, we'll have to see, I don't think Roach was a bad fit, I think Khan never made the proper adjustments but only time will tell. Me personally, what he did against Collazo, Alexander...he also did under roach against Kotelnik and Malignaggi. That's why it's difficult to accept that he's improved.
