Comments Thread For: Jones: Amir Khan Looked a Bit Scared of Being Hit

[VG_Addict]

Khan always looks like that against bigger and heavier men

He got the win thats all that matters

Floyd will never be a pressure fighter, just like Khan, he doesn't enjoy getting hit. Floyd is a boxer not a brawler..Algieri was willing to get beat up

Something Khan doesnt need to worry about when facing Floyd.

Soon as Floyd gets hit, he starts running, he's not going to change for Khan.

Khan's defense is still poor, and he has no inside game.

he cant fight the way virgil wants him to with this fear of being hit, he has no confidence in his chin, needs a few more softer fights

A-mere Khan-job best days are behind him.he is just trying not to get KO'd thinking he would get a fight from payweather which would be an easy last fight that he would lose

Ok but Algieri even with little power did hurt Khan, dipped his knees once and stopped him in his tracks a few times.Algieri was picked because he had never fought at the full 147 and the Khan's were sure they had the advantage but when Chris came in and had filled out at the weight they were shocked....to say that Chris was hand picked only makes a statement that Khan is nowhere near as good as he thinks , the people in the know, know this and if Hymon and the Khan's ever step him up at top level you will find he is not going to be the future P4P king but he is again going to be brutally exposed.

Khan was hardly hurt, let's be honest. Chris was winging in shots from a height advantage, that kind of leverage will make you think twice but Khan never once looked like he was even near to a KD, let alone hurt.

And I've never said Khan is future p4p king, so why bring that up in response to what I've said? Also, what is "exposed"...Khan is a two time world champion, unified belts at 140, KOd Judah, Paulie, schooled Kotelnik, beat Maidana more convincingly than even Alexander or Mayweather (barring the 9/10 round). Now he has had a decent run at ww...what's he going to be exposed of? That he isn't on Mayweather or Pacquiaos level? That's not exposure. That he can be hurt by power punchers? We already know that. but Khan, more often than not puts on great performances and has beaten multiple world champions.

If you wana hate, keep at it.

Mayweather has a deadly accurate lead right hand which he throws (and lands clean) every round. Despite the fact that Mayweather is not a power puncher he has enough snap to hurt Khan and make him very hesitant. When Khan starts to back off you will see Mayweather come forward and land additional combinations. Will take 8 or 9 rounds but Mayweather will break Khan down and either score a late stoppage or win a one sided UD.

What Mayweather did to Judah after the first few rounds is exactly what he would do to Khan. Back him upand just beat his ass with sharp, accurate shots.

Mayweather was able to come forward against guys like Canelo, Khan would pose him no problems.

People act like he can't press the action. Smh. That's what makes him so great. The versatility.

[Southpaw93]

If floyd fights khan the way he usually fights opponents then he might lose a close decision, he has to pressure khan, and even then he will risk getting hit, and thats not something he is use to.

People act like Floyd can't be aggressive. He could press the action in the Mosley and Judah fights.
