Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Three Fights in 2018, The First in February

[super-x]

This is a very fair statement �� I don’t like him either but Khan is seriously underrated by people that know little about the sport of boxing. A lot of people don’t realise he has mad talent and it was recognised very early in GB amateurs so he got smoke blown up his A way too young and it spoilt him. worst thing he did was train under Roach, completely the wrong template for him, if only someone like Steward had been able to work with him he would have shaped him right.

I dont personally think people doubt his boxing ability and skill but the fact that he talks sooo damn much and thinks hes some elite level boxer without actually doing anything for the last 3 years is the problem. Made excuses out of a good 50-50 fight with Brook. Seems to expect a shot at the big names and big money fights without actually earning them. I think hes lost the desire, he got paid well for canelo and now seems like he has no motivation to fight for the lower end of the pay grade in potential come back fights. Khan V Ortiz is a decent first step. Broner would be a good second and then get put to rest by Spence or Thurman and call it a day.

I hear that he will be figthing Eric Pinero in Feb as a warm up and giving the fan an exciting fight

Tune up fight in England with a UD on Brook, wins danny garcia rematch then topples golovkin for a hell of a close to 2018

hahaha got my LOL's for the day.

[LetOutTheCage]

you dont think he can beat Matthysee, Horn , Garcia or Peterson? Why??

He got KO'd by Garcia and lost to Peterson already. The only one he may actually beat is Horn.

So 2 Rod Salkas and then a legit opponent

His talk is the reason I don't like him either, he has always had way to much to say. Not doing the Brook deal was always a weird one, I struggle to believe he ducked him, Khan's problem was never lacking bravery, it was being too brave for someone with a porcelain jaw.

Lost to Peterson? Thanks to PED's, bribery and the only ref I have ever seen in history of boxing take a point away for 'shoving' (jees Ali would have been disqualified a heap of times if this was a thing)... Not a great example of a notable loss for Khan.

Was a great fight though.

Algieri vs Khan ?? Good

Khan has so many money and status option at 147, a lot of them winnable but how is he going to fight in Feb when he is spending the next month or more in a celeb jungle? lol

Is that for real? He really is a total tool! He better protect that chin from butterflies and moths or he’ll be taking a KO medical suspension and won’t be able to box for 90 days!
