is amir khan a wasted talent??

[Sugar Adam Ali]

lmao at this poll... the guy has won multiple world titles in 3 divisions and has basically fought a top notch schedule- barrera, maidana, devon, danny, peterson, kotenlik, judah, pauli,,,,

The guy is a gutsy fighter who has a problem with his chin..

If khan is such a bad fighter, then why don't people step up and fight him,, khan brings a lot more money than a bradley, berto, ghost, algirei, rios, etc

There is a reason people don't want to fight khan,, its because if you can't land the money punch and stop him, he has all the skills in the world to beat you

I dont know about waste talent. But he did waste like 5 years of his career begging floyd.

[Zaroku]

Ever watch the Wizard if Oz ?? If Amir only had a chin.

Khan won trinket belts at LW and WW.

His chin isn't his only problem. He also has no ring IQ.

Ever since khan dumped roach his career went downward spiral.

Why mention Berto? what does he have to do with Khan not doing in almost half a decade?

Devon Alexander was an excellent win given Devon's achievements, factor in the fashion itself. Ppl can diminish it all they want cuz the guy can't punch.


Ummm cuz TBE obviously doesn't share your confidence hence picking the B-WW from the same gym.

What I realizes about Khan is he has money outside of boxing so he is only going to fight if it makes sense. I wouldn't call it wasted talent because why take punches if you don't have to?

He has gone mainstream, no doubt. There was time he hung out with Mexican OGs like Mr Capone-E now its Eddie Murphy.

Alexander already lost to Bradley and Porter, and got gifts over Kotelnik and Matthysse.

Nah, I think he's done well given everything.

I find Khan to be a guy with great hand speed, usually has and knows how to use his height advantage and also a good jab (which he often forgets about entirely).

However, he has a terrible chin, his defence is poor, his boxing IQ is low, his power is average, his skill level is greatly exaggerated.

His speed can bail him out against many opponents and a mix of that and his height/reach can allow him to look great against certain styles. The flaws are very serious though and the top guys will expose them.

I think people mistake fast for having great skills.
