Comments Thread For: Don't Begin The 10 Count Over A Prone Amir Khan Just Yet

[Combat Talk Radio]

Why do people keep on pointing out a fight he survived 10 years ago.
Why not look at his previous fight to gauge where his current level is. A bum like vargas kept him honest and put him on his back.

SO let's see. Manny is fresh off an inability to hurt or drop Adrien Broner, just prior to that he lost to a schoolteacher. Yet people STILL say he has a chance to beat Floyd?

Shawn Porter is fresh off arguably losing to Ugas yet people swear he beats 98% of the division.

Keith "Got Timed" Thurman was getting beat from pillar to post by Josesito yet people swear he beats Manny.

Mikey Garcia just got taken to class and didn't even win a round against Spence yet people think he beats Lomachenko.


See, I can do that whole "last fight as a gauge" too.

That doesn't mean shit! In terms of ring years Amir Khan is about 55 years old. He has a Hell of lot more wear and tear and mileage on his body than Terence Crawford does. Since Khan has faced the much stiffer and tougher challenges in his career.

Crawford is a young 31. He hasn't in no way taken the kind of lickings that Amir Khan has taken in his career; Which has subsequently aged and slowed him down.

On the other hand, A.K. Is an old 32. He has been dropped and stopped and clipped several times in his career.

So your sayin TC is peter pan and doesnt age?

Wow if you notice khan is doing all this talking while Terrence is getting it in quietly in training.instead of doing all this talking he better be putting all his energy into training not talking.I think he's in big trouble.

Reminds me of Wilder, but MUCH more articulate.

You have hater written all over you. You make no sense. Manny didn't lose to the school teacher. WTF rock did you crawl out from?

Anyone who gets hit solidly in the chin the way Khan was hit in the Alvarez and Garcia fights will go down. The main problem with Amir Khan is less with his chin than with his defense. Despite Amir's speed, at times he becomes predictable and can get tagged. Timing neutralizes speed. Bud is not overpowering, but he is definitely the smarter fighter. He will figure Khan out and dominate the fight.

Lmao the Canelo shot, maybe? The Danny shot was nothing special. Ghost was eating those shots all night like nothing. Face it, he has poor punch resistance.

New York’s Woleska Roldan scored the entertaining, action-packed fight 117-111 for Horn, whose awkward style and rule-bending tactics troubled Pacquiao at times. Argentina’s Ramon Cerdan and Arizona’s Chris Flores both scored the fight 115-113 for Horn.

Hmm. Three AMERICAN/ARGENTINIAN (i.e. not Australian) cards for Jeff Horn. Fairly certain that's a win bro. UNANIMOUS.

Then all of them who said that are ******.
Two of those statements though are atleast logical and reasonable: First, Manny beating Floyd (an extremely relevant fight for me if it happens again) ain’t as farfetched as both of them are fossils, it’s just a matter of who is more shot than the other. And Pac has been at least more active between the two. Not that he’d win because of all that but it could at least add to his advantage as surely he’d still be an underdog.
Next is, Mikey has good shot at Loma... not that he’d destroy Loma easily (only fanboys say that) but because he won’t have to give up every advantage to his opponent, and has atleast the power and size to his favor.

Making statements like Khan survived Maidana to gauge his chin now is like saying pac beats up spence like a pulp now and would walk thru his punches because he beat up cotto and walked thru his punches 10 years ago too.

If you’re using it just because others are using then you’re no different to guys you hate here.

Khan is really going to surprise some people with how well he does.

Dude, it's obvious that Bud is the much more fresher of the two. You might as well face it that Amir Khan's skills are diminished. He is not the same fighter that he once was. Bud isn't either but his natural progression is much slower than Khan's because he hasn't absorbed the kind of punishment and trauma to his body as Amir Khan has.

Floyd's been active. It's all a game with him. The dude is never NOT active and he's doing exhibitions because he knows it keeps him sharp without risk. Senior just came out and said Floyd is still training and working out behind the scenes.

Meanwhile Manny is and was so affected by the Marquez KO and the Horn unanimous loss that he barely showed up against Broner - a Broner affected by the Maidana loss. Manny should have put him away in 7 rounds if you go by NSB who think Broner is a bum.

As far as Mikey...making such a statement means you didn't watch the Spence fight. Spence beat that man with a jab and an occasional power shot. Period. Loma not only has a better jab, he's faster by far than Spence. Mikey has no chance and he got exposed, period. To win NO rounds over 12 isn't acceptable.

This isn't about what Khan did or didn't do. Terence Crawford doesn't knock guys out. The only recent one was Indongo, who yes, came in with a similar shot that Khan might, but Indongo was dropped off a body shot and didn't get up because he was straight up protected to that title and everyone knew. Khan hasn't been protected AT ALL.

Experience is the big factor everyone's ignoring. I'm not saying Khan wins. I'm saying I don't see the easy work knockout everyone else does. Accumulated punch ref stoppage (ala Horn) or it goes the distance, if it goes the distance, Khan has a chance. That's all I'm saying.
