Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: People Think I Can't Take a Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former world champion Amir Khan (33-4, 20 KOs) is looking to eradicate what he feels is a false belief - that he can't take a good punch. Earlier this month, Khan won a much tougher than anticipated twelve round unanimous decision over Samuel Vargas in Birmingham. In a fight that many felt would be over in a few rounds, Khan was dropped in the second round and later wobbled in the tenth.

I have a theory.... if you have to repeat something over and over to get people to believe it, it is probably not true.

Poor Amir. All chinny and stuff.

Khan's a walking posterboy for CTE – that's the only explanation I can come up with for such delusional quotes. "He's a ******" is just too easy, so out of pity I'll put it down to something medical.

Good one, Amir.

Listen, I'll try to detract his KTFO loss against Canelo because he just didn't belong in there. Who knows if Canelo was on the juice at that time but he already looked massive in the ring against Khan, it was expected to happen.

With that said, everyone else he got KTFO out or dropped by was basically his size or smaller. So yeah, you got a chin problem there Khan...

He can take a punch, but only when he sees them coming like with Maidana, who is a big puncher. His problem is that world class guys can set up shots that he can't see, and he just doesn't take those well. The Garcia and Alvarez KOs show that to me clearly. He's been hit hard and flush and stood up to punches with varying levels of consciousness, but when his eyes aren't on the killshot then he gets absolutely crumpled.

Does that make any sense, or did I just try to nuance a chinny chin?

Amir Can is TBE.
