Comments Thread For: Khan: I Can't Lose Focus With Crawford Like I Did Against Vargas

[Mister Wolf]

True dat. But its not just head movement, its a combination of movement of feet, upper body, head, combined with athleticism, balance and reflexes. None are perfect, but Loma and Canelo are closest to the ideal in terms of the 'not getting hit' part of the equation.

Khan has some of the skills for sure, but the entire defensive package is flawed such that he is assured to have to take punches at times...and that's where the problem with his chin kicks in.

Fun to imagine an alternative world where Khan did have an iron chin though !

If Khan had a chin he would have been a beast. Same for Linares. They are dish it but can't take it guys.

Amir Khan should not initiate the action and just wait for his chance to counter. Be patient and make it a boring fight to survive Crawford!?

You got the right idea. Land one shot and get out of there. Make Crawford chase him. Tie up when possible. That's his best bet.

You pretty much have the Khan game plan. Same plan he had against Collazo, Judah, Alexander with an emphasis on holding. He tried it against Peterson but kept pushing his head down and got points deducted. He'll try with Crawford also. We saw what happen with Horn when he tried holding Crawford.

I don't think Terrence needs to even train for this fight.in fact he probably hasn't lol.just stick to putting it down to that fine bbw of yours that's all the training you need lol

Crawford is the deserved favorite, but he is not that big a puncher and not the larger, physically dangerous opponent for Khan as Canelo was.

I think Khan would have been so much better if he had put his pride to the side and trained under Mayweather snr like Oscar did for years

Shaky chin aside, His biggest problem is his lack of awareness, repetitive 1 2s and poor defense. He is constantly getting hit by the same punches without making sound adjustments.

His chin can't be fixed but all his other faults were quite fixable with a more defensive-minded trainer and that's not Virgil Hunter but at age 32 now that ship has pretty much sailed.. Shame

I recall him saying something very similar prior to the Canelo fight.

Khan please just stop talking, you do that too much. PLEASE just say you'll see what a ready khan is like.... Then zip it. You set yourself up for failure. After this your carrer is over and only brits will still want to see you VS Brook. A blind guy VS a chinny guy. Should have just taken that fight. Good luck

Yes, Crawford is not going to come into that nonsense if that is Khan's game plan, Crawford will pick him off every time.

All of this yapping....So Mikey-esque.
