Amir Khan is never going to be a top 5 P4P

I'm glad Peterson beat Khan. If Khan had won, I get the feeling we'd be getting a Mayweather-Khan fight this May. That'd be an utter mismatch.

 

I'm undecided, I hope he can silence a lot of people but maybe he's the type of fighter that needs big fights, seen a lot of inconsistency already in his pro career. Think he wins the Peterson rematch, and should move up where there is plenty of big fights.
His next fight is a massive test though and will answer a lot of questions.

 

It would of been hilarious to watch in a way tho, How easily Floyd would have schooled and beat the hell out of Con...Would of definetly ruined him mentally..Thats if Peterson didnt do that already to him. :yep

 

Great thread.:good

Khan is just another in a long line of China Chinned British Hype Jobs who has proven to have no Chin, no Heart, and no skill whatsoever. He fights like a robotic amateur with his pitter-patter flurries, he is wobbled by jabs and has been to ***** Street more times than George Michael, and the only decent footwork that he has is his ability to run backwards faster than Usain Bolt. He is a joke and I cannot wait to see him starched cold again.

 

with that avatar i wasn't expecting a post like this...

 

His punch resistance seems better at 140. Peterson is no power-puncher, but he isn't a featherfist either, and he hit Khan repeatedly with shots upstairs and downstairs that he put leverage on. Khan handled the shots fine, didn't even seem that fatigued or beaten down in the end despite the body shots.

Of much bigger concern are his fighting IQ, instincts, and extremely flawed technical skills.

 

Superb thread :good

As soon as Khan moves up to 147 he's gonna get starched.

 

He'll lose to Peterson again and becme a footnote on the world stage, he'll still be loved in england though I'm sure and make some more money fighting domestic level.

 

This is what I've thought he would and should do anyway. It is painfully obvious that he has British-level talent and a British-level Chin. If he continues to try and fight at the world-level he will be brutally and embarrassingly KOed over and over. He is a Glass Jawed Fraud.

 

To many good fighter at 147 Khan should not go there!

 

Good call :thumbsup

 

Wow Khan Peterson 2 really is make or break for Khan judging by the gulf in opinions on this site.

Some people really believe he is a Brit hype job while others believe he'll be the face of boxing in 3 years time.

I'm undecided. I was dissapointed in the Maidana fight because he got hit way too often. Many think he won the Pererson fight but even if he got the decision, others saw how poor Khan is against a pressure fighter. I used to think Khan would box Hattons ears off if they ever fought, now I think Hatton would chew him up and spit his limp degraded body out.

He has the athletic ability, he just doesn't yet have the IQ. Hopefully that changes.

 

As long as he stays with CACA-Roach, he's never going to learn how to fight on the inside, and Khan is too stupid to make adjustments on his own.

 

LOL esb'ers claimed that Khan would have no chance at light welter, never go beyond domestic level, never fight Maidana and go on to beat him

I don't remember anyone claiming that he would beat Mayweather but he certainly made alot of ppl butt hurt!
