Well, s
t. Khan has about as much chance of being a World Champion again as I have. Hid for 5 rounds. glass chin still very evident, lacks power and looked flat mid fight. I can’t wait to see him meet someone world class, he’ll be knocked out. A mediocre performance from one of the biggest BS artists in the game.

Really don't understand the dislike for Khan. OK he's got a weak chin but plenty of boxers have flaws.
He’s a gobste. Massively over rated. He's very good, with excellent speed and technique but his chin has always prevented him from making it to the very top. Personally i'd have like to have seen him fight mayweather a few years ago, I doubt he'd have won but Mayweather didn't have huge KO power so I don't think his chin would have been exposed terribly quickly.
Anyway hopefully Khan v Brook gets made.

Really don't get this hate for Khan either.
He's a Gobste? really? tell me what fighters you admire currently so we can see what level of humbleness he should aspire to.
Why do you admire Khan exactly, failed every time when faced with world class opponents. His comments tonight summed it up. He said he could have put him away but backed off to get rounds. I can’t wait to see him retired. He's a Gobs

There are few unassuming professional boxers. He's hardly in the Tyson Fury league on.

Yes, I want to see Khan get knocked out. It’s not just his speed, he’s now lacking power, his hands are very damaged and despite saying he’s a ‘young fighter’ he’s in the twilight of his BS career. It’s like watching Hamed all over again. He's very good, with excellent speed and technique but his chin has always prevented him from making it to the very top.

Did you lose a bet or something cuz you sound real salty Amirhussain said:
Did you watch the Maidana or Devon Alexander fights? He was having Danny Garcia until he switched off, entirely his fault of course. Khan is box office whether you like it or not and people will always tune in or turn up to see him fight.

I’ll ‘tune in’ every time as I like seeing Khan put away. He’s so over rated and gets found out every single time. He was saved twice by the bell tonight against somekne known not to be a huge puncher. Did you watch the fight tonight?There’s nothing wrong with not rating a fighter, but this is something else

Khan also beat the then-reigning IBF (and formerly undisputed) world champion Zab Judah, and the former IBF and subsequent WBA world champion Paulie Malignaggi...There’s nothing wrong with not rating a fighter, but this is something else

'Found out' in what way? I think even the remote tribes in the Amazon rainforest know that Amir Khan has a glass chin. It's nothing new. I can't see how you can hate someone for having weak whiskers. Very odd.
Saw Khan fight live today from ringside. He is quick and has his moments, but fk me his chin is pure glass.
The pre fights were much better. I don't think I would pay to see Khan ringside again. Well the missus paid for VIP. Which in itself was a piss take as people were coming in and taking random seats and then getting booted off when the people who paid for the seats arrived. Wierd.

Admittedly I'm another khan hater.
Well I don't 'hate' him but he is full of ste.
What gets me is that he's obsessed with fighting Manny for the only reason that is for the payday. He talks about his 'blistering' hand speed, how fast he is, how much of a draw he is but when the acid tests come along against the top level then he falls short.
Sure, he's a fast, technical boxer with the ability to put out some great combinations but he lacks the fundamentals of a truly great fighter - a strong chin and adaptability to an opponent.
If he was humble and kept his trap shut then he's be more likeable but he believes his hype and places himself higher than his ability allows.
Kell Brook is a fight that will earn him money and he should make it - but guess what, he wont because he knows deep down that Kell will have him and end his dreams of fighting Manny.

He’s as good as his last fight. And his last fight was very average. 
To remind you...

...but the wins over Judah, Malignaggi and Maidana - who not only went on to win a WBA world title but give Floyd Mayweather two of the tougher nights of his career as well - give argument to that.Mojooo said:
I think Khan wants Pac because if he beats him its a huge thing he will always be remembered for - even if Pac is passed his best.
nothing to do with money. He can make easy money as he is a celeb to the easyspending masses who watch programs like I'm a celeb and love island.Gassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
