Post your controversial opinions on Boxing

Very, very controversial...mainly because his opposition has improved a great, great deal. Khan was very reckless before Roach, he tried to steamroll opponents and caught on to the hype. Very top heavy, and this was one of the reasons he was rocked so often, along with rushing in and walking on to shots.

 

Amir Khan is better than people think and gets too much stick.

Amir Khan has beaten: Judah, Malignaggi, Kotelnik, Maidana.

He loses one fight to a very tough Peterson, which in my mind was a disgrace. 2 points for pushing. And even then most people had him a point up.

And all of a sudden he's overrated.

 

Watch the fight against [url]Martin Kristjansen[/url]. A figter with a good record. He looks incredible. Countering, picking his shots. Switching between pot shotting and combinations. Varying his attack.

 

No too green.

I'm saying Roach gets all the credit for changing Khan into a world beater.

I don't think roach as done much at all.

He's still fight very Amateur.

 

Pre Roach Khan is not better than current Khan. That's not even a controversial opinion, that is just wrong.

Just to add, not really controversial, Khan is just not on the level of Mayweather to give him trouble. Khan does not have the footwork or judge of distance to beat Mayweather.

I'm off the boxing. :good

 

Am i the only one who thinks cotto looked **** against yuri foreman?

 

He swarms mayweather and he's one of the ony boxers who throws quick enough to land.
You cannot shoulder role Khans attacks at all. Especially being shorter than Khan as judah and mcloskey learned.

He's got an excelant jab,which is quicker than mayweathers at this stage in there careers.

 

In cotto-margarito II, if the fight was not stopped, cotto would've gotten hurt.

 

Cotto is not a good 154 fighter. He got tagged way too much by a semi retired Mayorga.
He looked ok against foreman. And Ok against Margarito. But Overall, Cotto looks too slow, and too small to compete against half decent 154'ers. He is benefiting from 154 being easilly the worst division in boxing right now.

 

:good

 

Khan will be in the top 5 p4p before he retires

 

Are there any current rivals for top 5 contention you see him beating?
I always thought Khan would peak at 154 but it seems he's not carrying the power up with him.

 

Ruben Olivares at his very best, had he been more disciplined and consistent, would not only be the greatest Mexican fighter ever, but the greatest Hispanic fighter of all time.
