Khan is a poor man's Linares. Seriously, Amir is so overrated

[Muutt]

When Amir Khan bites the kebab too hard his jaw breaks. Jorge Linares can bite tacos no problem. This comparison is ******, never compare kebabs to tacos.

Hahahahahah hell ya

[A.K]

Who the hell ever said khan was a elite fighter? He's not overrated at all he has a lot of skill but no chin.

[deansluk]

to add to the poor mans comparsion both remind me of morales at early in his career , he was almost a mix of the 2 with a touch less speed but better timing and chin

[Beercules]

Agree 100%. Linares is a much smarter fighter.

[Larry the boss]

Khan only got hype by people claiming Floyd ducked him..simple as that

[frosty-g]

got basically zero in common with each other

What good is speed if you're predictable? Garcia said it best, "At first all I saw was a blur, but then it got easier to time him". The whole burst of flurries with the vocal "ush ush ush" looks fast and dazzling and British commentators will always say something like, "Again Khan shows his speed...", but in slow motion it's amateurish and leaves so many gaps for counters, watch how long his arms are extended while he lands his slaps with his chin begging to be hit. He doesn't even have basic footwork.

Just doing a comparison of the two and you realise how ridiculous the hyperbole around Khan always has been.

There is a comparison to be made - both tall fighters with blazing handspeed and combination punchers, and with shaky chins.

But then you look at Linares - the awesome balance, boxing instincts, the variety of his combinations, the gliding footwork, the hurtful snap on his punches. Even his IQ and defence are getting better as he gets older.

And then look at Khan - as I've always said, fast hands but slow defence. Lunging in, reaching in. Predictable attack. Over-egged combinations. Little boxing IQ and ability to adjust or change his tempo.

Lol if Amir was fighting A.Carollo he would have stopped him l. khan is much better then Linares look who Khans has fought. I do admit however Linares has better ring IQ when it comes to later rounds.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Linares has terrific footwork, Khan's is lousy.
Linares has solid defence, Khan's is lousy.
Linares has great punch delivery, Khan over-extends.

Then there's the general skill level. Khan is nothing but speedy arm punches, Linares is a highly skilled, razor sharp boxer.

Garcias dads HIV must have spread to his brain. Stay away from those 2 dollar latin hookers
