Amir Khan Admits....

[Scipio2009]

I don't think Khan beats Brook, Pacquiao, Thurman, or Spence. The fact is, he's just not that good.

.... over a full 12-round professional fight. At this point, Amir Khan has been in boxing and is well-schooled enough to never lose a 4-round fight in his life; his mental focus simply falls to **** after that point.

Looking at BoxRec's welterweight rankings, I honestly don't think Amir Khan beats any of the fighters in their top 8 in a 12-round fight (have never seen Jeff Horn fight, and I still question Vargas' power, but he may have issues with them too).

Khan knows that he can rattle off the six punch combination, and he loses his mind behind that, and that's not going to change. Khan gets timed, doesn't have much of a Plan B when the handspeed doesn't work, and he's trying to find his way to the final bell from about the third round on.

It's a shame that Khan didn't end with Virgil Hunter right when he got knocked out by Breidis Prescott; the timing may not have been great (Andre Ward heading into the Super Six would've had Hunter's full focus), but Hunter is trying to teach the tactics that would've helped max out Khan's style, fighting like heck against the muscle memory built in by Freddie Roach and his camp in the UK.

Khan ducking Brook has to be one of the biggest ducks in history.

Right up there with Ward ducking Golovkin at the Olympics and later as a pro for 3 years.

Khan is a joke. Who cares what he says.

i despise ''IFs'', but..................

what if con never fought maidana ?!?!?!?

that seems to be his claim to ''fame''

Garcia said that Khan's hands were so fast that all he could see was a blur, but then he adjusted to it because there's a pattern, and that's the problem....he has superhuman hand speed, but a predicatable pattern that hasn't changed since he turned pro....it's come in throw 3-4 slaps..move out..repeat and rinse...he has no timing, no defense, no footwork, no angles, no ring IQ, doesn't know how to turn his body....and that was against a gree Garcia, not the more skilled one of today, oh...and ppl say he has a weak chin, he also has a weak body...Canelo landed 3 or 4 decent body shots and he stopped moving and even when he was moving it was erratic with no purpose or strategy, just running for his life....most overrated garbage fighter of all time

Maidana nearly decapitated him, but he waited too long and left it too late. Another round and he would have floored him.
