Amir Khan under a different scope than most other fighters.

DUUDDDEEEE I think GTSK is crying. He prob killed Batu by now

 

I mean Khan, I don't have to bring up any other fighters.

You have to be kidding right?

 

I second that. I never liked Amir earlier, but after watching his fights against Maidana & Peterson, i've become his fan.

Ofcourse he isn't the perfect boxer, but he's got amazing speed and athleticism. And no, he ain't no chicken.

 

A lot of people can't stand Froch, and his talent as a fighter is constantly underrated. Yes, Khan is a flawed but entertaining fighter. But so is Berto. That doesn't stop people from getting in his ****. Let's not act like Khan is the only guy who is criticized. When guys like Mayweather and Pacquiao are getting criticized for their abilities and level of opposition, then anyone can. Khan was knocked out cold by a massive underdog, and just got beaten around the ring by another massive underdog. When you combine this with all the hype and attention he gets, as well as the stuff that comes out of his mouth, it's no wonder he gets a lot of backlash.

 

But we not talking about Ali

You guys are lost on this.

 

No, I'm really not.

Leaning and pushing are both common tactics used by rangy fighters throughout history. I know we're not talking about other fighters, but I just gave you some pretty obvious examples relating to what you were talking about.

 

He gets far too much criticism on ESB for some reason. Every second poster call him glass chinned or chicken hearted without realizing that no glass chinned / chicken hearted boxer can survive a Maidana onslaught.

Do you not see your boy has no infighting ability and has to stop the action with illegal tactics. Khan kills the ebb and flow. I would not call them barnburners.

 

Khan is neither a coward nor a glass chinned fraud.

He is, however, grossly overrated. His handpseed blinds many on here to the fact that he's terribly inaccurate, cannot fight on the inside, and moreover STRUGGLES MIGHTILY WITH FIGHTERS WHO CAN.

For ****sake, no one said Khan has to be Rocky Marciano on the interior but can't he and Roach divine a strategy other than pinning his gloves to his ears and eating one uppercut or chopping hook after another? Damn. :-(

 

He was pulling down on the back of his head. Straight illegal tactis many many many times. This is not fiction.

 

Whats crazy is that his fans can't see this. It's clear as day. WTF...they wanna bring up Ali and MAnny Manny knocks people out on the inside.

 

A lot of people hate him because they picked him as a china-chinned hype job who would never achieve anything after the Prescott KO and they can't stand being proven wrong.
