    So does Manny Pacquiao - you know that guy that went through 8 weight divisions? Joe Calzaghe cuffed with his punches and often crossed his feet over when throwing a left hand, you know that guy that is one of the best super middleweights of all time?

    You know the main problem with boxing fans? Too many of you like to focus on what a fighter can't do, rather than what he can do, and do very well. Too many of you like to critique fighters to caress your ego, so you can act like you know what you are talking about. I have always found the negativity and ******ity of boxing fans unbearable, more so than other sports.

    Some fighters are very complete, others are not, but in most cases they can't be all things to all people. Their strengths and flaws are often intertwined and difficult to correct once that said fighters base is set, often some of their weaknesses are as a result of why they are successful in the first place.

    If you think all Amir Khan has is speed than you are not worth debating with. Ive seen faster fighters than Khan who have not even made it as pro's. A top level boxer needs lots of ingredients.

        Chavez Sr. as well as Marquez (I consider Marquez to be the smartest analyst) were quick in mentioning that Khan has no upperbody movement at all and that his defense was solely dependent on movement, it's weird that you don't see anyone else mention the obvious. There is so much wrong with Khan's style, SO MUCH and it's more bothersome that people genuinely believed he belonged at this level. You would think that barely getting by Julio Diaz and Algieri should have told us where he really belonged but nope.

          Khan's other, bigger problems are his poor defense, poor stamina, and predictability.

          His predictability is why Garcia and Canelo were able to time him.

            When you got neither you get amir khan

            Can't keep a guy off him and can't take the shots when the gap is closed.

            He's always going to be limited against top level opponents.

            Brook will stop him if they fight, khan can't keep brook off or take his shots.
            plus no defense

                Ummm, Manny had a dynamite left hand that was a KO punch all the way to lightweight. He always had a better defense than Khan and in later years it's not even close. He has fought and beaten great fighters.

                Calzaghe also had an amazing will coupled with great reflexes and boxing skills, not to mention an iron cast chin.

                You don't understand that Amir Khan is not skilled. Throwing 3-4 punches before your opponent react and circling away is not skill. It's athleticism. Canelo's feints and counters, drawing leads and creating doubt. That's skill.
                Khan is a slightly better version of Mike Jones, nothing more.

                Put it this way. Khan would never in a million years beat a man who is faster than him, yet everyone Khan has lost to is slower than him. Wake up and have a look at reality.

                  I want to see Kahn fight on like Roy Jones and continue to get embarrassed.

                  The state of his chin in a couple of years will be hilarious.

                    Khan's greatest weakness is his own delusion of greatness.

                    This is reinforced by his ******ed fanbase.
