Comments Thread For: Amir Khan's Last Big Run

I think often times people confuse his heart and ego for him just not being very smart. The guy is a laughing stock, and he is too dumb to realize it.

Always entertaining though. Fans love to watch him wobble around with bambi legs before he falls.

Or his arms flailing as he goes down, lol

By Tris Dixon - The best high-wire act boxing has had in recent history is back this weekend. Amir Khan, now 31 and with a professional record of 32 wins and four losses, has been making headlines for almost 15 years. If you consider his career, you will either think of the snap, crackle, pop' combinations that come and go like a lightning storm in fast forward or the disastrous knockouts that have seen him worryingly crumple to the canvas like a suit with a disappearing man inside it...

“..the disastrous knockouts that have seen him worryingly crumple to the canvas like a suit with a disappearing man inside it.“

Putting aside the various merits (or otherwise) of this article, what the hell is that for a sentence?!! The most bonkers simile I’ve seen; these journalists ought to attend some creative writing classes..

Good article, except it didn't mention Peterson's was using PEDs.

I enjoyed seeing him get knocked out but at this point in his career it would just be sad

Gotta respectfully disagree. Even giants can get felled by midgets if the midget gets a clean, full-leverage shot flush on the jaw - and Canelo is no midget.

Yeah I disagree with you also

Nicely written piece. The conclusion is incorrect though. I was a big fan but now I couldn’t care less. The fragility of both his chin & ego are more a draw than a repulsion… who doesn’t want to see a bruised ego in boxing? But, he’s tedious beyond words and his wins owe more to the promoters matchmaking than Khan’s abilities.

Yeah he’s got blinding speed, but at 147 he severely lacks power… putting cab driver Lo Greco to one side. Khan has zero early finishes at 147 except where he’s the one on the canvas. He’s poor defensively and has zero inside game. Everytime I watch him I feel like I’m viewing a highly protected product, and I’m being worked over by a promoter. Khan is everything that’s wrong with boxing. The Coup de grâce is long overdue.

You may have a point there mate.
