    I remember Amir saying he would beat him AND I'm sure he called him a coward.
    He also gave a fabulous performance on Primetime when he said he had just an offer to Morales and Erik wanted no part of it.Ten minutes later he said Floyd only fights old guys at the end of their career.:lol::lol:
    I have to admit,Amir is a guilty pleasure of mine.The gift that keeps on giving.
    I am also aware that you are more than likely referring to ESB users when you said "anyone"
    But I always enjoy reminiscing about Amir's scene stealing tour de force on the FMJ-Ortiz telecast.
    Ortiz really should quit.He really showed his age and maturity that night.He really is a perfect example of those "old guys" Amir was talking about.:yep

    He's neither. He's good enough to be one of the top guys in his division. He's just unlikely to be anything more than that, given his many flaws.

    When Khan boxes and moves he looks tremendous.

    The trouble is he feels like he has something to prove. What the **** was all that rope a dope **** against Peterson?

    Once a fighters pressures Khan his defence is limited to a high guard he simply does not know how to stay in range and slip a punch!

    Correct he's never going to be top 5 p4p

    He doesn't move with a purpose, however, and he cannot box on the inside to save his life.

    He's fast of hand and he's British. Consequently he'll continue to be overrated. :bbb

    Joe Calz was pretty close, in my opinion.

    Khan, however, is much too one-dimensional, and I believe he'll be overmatched when he moves to 147lbs.

    Was a fan until he got exposed.I don't care if you lose but to run around the ring like a chicken and cry about losing after like Hatton is a turn off.

    Khan has an awful style he fights like a mini robot and has no Chin. None. He is a charade.

    Hatton & Calzaghe were in The Ring's top 5 p4p.
