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

[Bep3373]

Both Paulie and Roy Jones have pegged Khan to give Mayweather problems but as I've said, it's the Roach version that was a dangerous offensive fighter. Khan can still cause problems imo but I agree with the statement made in the article, Khan did look afraid to get hit, even though Algieri never had the power to hurt him.

A lot of it is to do with Hunter, constantly telling him to think and be defensive, which isn't how Khan is wired. It works against passive fighters like Alexander and if Khan can land big, he can hurt guys but Algieri had huge size advantages and flipped the script.

Anyway, everyone is reading too much into one performance. Khan looked exceptional against Alexander and Collazo, a long way removed from the KD filled win against Diaz.

I disagree ...proof shows hunters done better overall your version has been Ko by Danny and a c fighter ...barely escaped maidaina

a lot of algeiris shots were arm punches he got the full swing but there wasnt much behind them, khan looked frozen to me just because he was expecting an easy night and he couldnt see the shots coming more than been hurt. Algeiri was cut and fairly swollen khan landed some hard shots but just not that often, he backed up to and algeiri never gave an inch fought a very determined fight.

I'll watch in slomo and get back with you ....khan win but it was not impressive

Roys correct. He panics when his opponent gets close to him because he knows that one good punch and a follow up from his opponent and thats ot.

This isn't Roy Jones talking, this is Barry Jones (welsh champ).

Khan IS Danny's leftovers !

yeah still doesn't change the fact Danny is fighting Khan's scraps

[parrish duke]

problem with Khan is his boxing IQ ! he had such a good run in the Amateurs that he just throws punches and has to be reminded to get out of there after you throw your combos to avoid return fire! he constantly has to be reminded, and no inside game, he pushes you off then fires if you invade his space .

Did you not see the Garcia v Khan fight .Garcia was the underdog and Khan's team thought they had picked him another victim .No doubt, Danny is slow and flat footed with not much more than a left hook, in short pretty limited.But to the Khan's dismay Danny absolutely annihilated him , knocked him from pillar to post and down numerous times .In Fact Kenny Bayless, the ref gave Khan more than the benefit of doubt actually raising Khans gloves for him in the third after he'd been knock down with a punch to the neck , but after a few more knock downs and Khan tottering hopelessly backwards Kenny decided to stop the slaughter , you must watch it it's brill but I think you'll agree that Khan won't be the future P4P best as he ******ly thinks ........enjoy!

he could have lost the fight with another judge was far from impressive

The Algieri fight showed that Khan still has the same flaws he's always had.

[kevin-novice]

the peterson one was dodgy. The Prescott and Garcia total whacks :-)

[FrankieBruno]

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.
