Comments Thread For: Khan Feared His Career Was Over When Pacquiao Fight Fell Apart

[Mzembe]

Nah you’re right, he can’t make light-welter it’s a shame cos he can’t hack it heavier. My point was at LW he’d be right up there and the match ups with Crawford, Lipinets, Mikey would all be crazy fun to watch.

People only remember Khan going up to Welter and getting sparked easy, but he took shots against Madaina (the same guy that took Mayweather 12 twice) and he held is own much better and had power at the weight. I guess I’m one of the few that would want to see that again cos I know a lot of people hate him personally, would be fun to watch...

--------------------------------------------------------

Did you somehow forget about Prescott?
Also, are you choosing to forget about all the talk Khan keeps yapping about ...."I'll be stronger at 140Ibs. I was struggling to make weight but I feel so much better already". He then gets stopped a couple of times then the yapping starts again, "I'll be stronger and faster at 147. I was struggling to make weight yada yada yada"

Do you know more than Khan when it comes to moving up in weight?

If Khan beat Zab and Maidana easier than Floyd, how come he gets starched against elite competition? That same guy that you refer to beat Canelo over 12 rounds and made it look easy. How come your boy couldn't beat Canelo?

Also you seem to believe that Khan can beat Mikey Garcia at 135.

His career was over when Bradley ducked him and Floyd fought Maidana instead.

I don't understand the hate for Khan. He's not the brightest, but he seems good natured and as far as I know he's put a lot into boxing in Bolton. He's sought out the really big challenges, hasn't always managed to get them, and has fallen a little short at the very top level. He was a massive underdog against Canelo but turned up with a gameplan to win the fight, not just to survive it. His fights have always been entertaining.

The black mark against him is his failure to consider a Brook fight, but it looks like he's addressing that this year. He's not elite, but boxing is better for having fighters like Khan.

Boxing is better for having fighters like Khan? You mean so we can enjoy the spectacular knock outs he gets?
Khan's been a household name for over 5 years in the US. Can you explain how come he hasn't fought a single legit WW yet wants big names like Floyd or even Pac?

How is boxing better? Seriously, can you explain that ?

amir khan will be remembered for his excellent form while going down the canvass. his profile and body contour each time he gets ktfo were 2nd to none. it’s comparable to a big piece shit falling down from an anus.

Nup I didnt forget Prescott, but I don’t deem one loss out of 20 pro fights a complete failure like many do, most first round KO’s tell you very little about the overall quality of both fighters if they were evenly matched in the first place. It’s sort of proved by what both fighters went on to achieve after that bout, if anything it was that fight that slowed the hype train and made him focus, which did him good.

Being weight drained is a horrible feeling, of course he felt like crap at 140lbs, my point wasn’t that he is able to make that weight, it’s that it’s a shame he couldn’t (as a boxing fan this is my opinion) because at that weight his record shows his power was more effective and he could take shots from the top guys more than he could when he moved up.

My point on Maidana, is not about comparing Khan to Mayweather, Mayweather is clearly a lot better, I was answering the extreme views that Khan is ‘a bum’ or the other ****** names people call him to suggest he can’t box. He obviously can, because some of his opponents have fought the best respectably.

It’s obvious why he can’t move up successfully against the elite, Canelo was massive against him, Khan has never been able to hurt most at Welter, at middleweight he had no chance, especially against a fighter with greater ring IQ than he possesses, it was a money grab plain and simple. Against Danny, he should have done better, credit to Danny he was better on the night and once again Amir showed that his ring IQ isn’t good enough, he lost concentration and got timed. I’d love to see a rematch of those two, especially now.

Like I said before, i’ll never accept the Peterson result, he was ripped off badly with the whole PEDs and judging debacle, should be an N/C on his record.

Not another Khan article.

Fùcks sake. Let the kid fight at least.

The only boxer I've ever seen that literally could fart in an elevator and you'd see an article on it.

I can’t pick up exactly on someone else’s post but I actually agree I like boxing with him active. That hand speed is fun to watch, he’s a box office draw and he’s fallible with that chin coupled with courage, so you never really know what’s going to happen and when.

People love him or hate him, these are the characters that keep boxing interesting, like Broner or Fury. I think about someone like Wlad, good boxer, dominant, boring as hell. I’d rather watch Khan than Wlad any day of the week.

And...on the call outs for big fights, it’s got nothing to do with records, surely you must have noticed that by now. How the hell did Macgregor get Mayweather? He hadn’t fought a single boxing match...money. Amir gets views and ticket sales, especially in the UK, he calls out Pac cos it’s a big money fight, but neither gave him it cos he started getting greedy on the dollars, had nothing to do with his boxing.

[boxingthoughts]

khan is the loser set in a tune up fight

barely a sparring partner
you are done bro
no one cares
canelo knocked you out
you can only hang with b level guys
you are NOT elite
you can do a few fights no one cares about in the UK and then a big one with brook but beyond that you are a cautionary tale
just someone to easily beat for a champion
would be great for danny garcia to go to london and beat you would make money for everyone beyond that just promote - get out if the ring ... you cant excel there or survive there against top compeition.

Khan beats Garcia or Pacman if they were to fight him.
My issue or non-issue really is Khan talks so much garbage and he repeats the same crap over and over.

Khan is a big name obviously and can get any fighters.

[VG_Addict]

His career should have been over when he got KOed in less than a minute by Prescott.
