If Khan's chin and power improves at 147 then he is still a force at World Level..

Nothing will improve though.

 

That's a lot of "if's" dude. If i made 26 million next year I could have a Caligula esq orgy with 50 victoria's secret models

 

Given that his power has dramatically decreased at 140,what on earth makes you think it will improve at 147?

He accused Matthyse of ducking him(alongside the likes of Marquez,Morales and several others) so why doesn't he make his point about being the best at 140 before moving up.
And people hit harder at 147.Some guys can improve at higher weights because the extra weight they can put in their legs means that their punch resistance can improve,but Khan will always have a glass jaw,and all the heavy squats and extra weight in the world won't change that.

I'm glad the guy's around because he brings excitement,but the OP's suggestion is completely unrealistic optimism I'm afraid.

 

I see the 'struggling to make weight' as another excuse unfortunately. One that prevents him from learning and improving. It is never his fault. It's either his coach, his weight, a mysterious judge, or a lucky punch. I would really like to see him admit his weaknesses and not throw the blame on something else, this is the only way he will begin to learn.

 

And if it doesnt there is always 154:yep

 

Give it a bloody rest, Darni. Is it gonna' have to take Khan to die in the ring or something to make you realise he's not gonna' live up to the potential you thought he would?

 

:yep Canelo can get it.

 

I just can't see him being that successful @147lbs at the minute. Still needs more learning bouts under Hunter, but more importantly, he needs to be in the gym to learn. Alexander is a tough bout for Khan IMO.

 

Desperate.

 

But don't you realise that he carries practically no power at elite level at 140(an has only shown power on occasion there) so if anything,his power will be even poorer at 147.
I used to think Khan would grow into a 154 fighter but the truth is he will be in terrible trouble at elite level at 147.
And Bradley and Alexander were moving up from 140.Apart from the first couple of fights at 140 Khan has got worse and worse and he moved up there from 135.
It's a nice thought if you're a fan to think that Amir's found another explanation as to why he's being regularly found out and it's the weight.
But we've heard it all before.

 

I wish Amir Khan would read that. Wise words...
