Well both Khan and Roach go with my view, I rather take their word than yours. Both say KILLING to make 135. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8013115.stm [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZY31nQYLL0[/ame]
Well khan himself said he had no problem, so that's taking his word. and of course they're gonna say it was hell to make 135 after they move up to 140, don't be such a sucker for what people say in the media. Khan has a TERRIBLE chin, end of. The first true LW he went in with knocked his ****ing central nervous system to pieces; he hit the deck like a sack of ****, had no balance or awareness and then finally collapsed so bad he couldn't even scrape himself off the canvas. That and the other am/pro KD's jsut show he CANNOT take clean shots. Even Barrera wobbled him with a hook that Khan actually BLOCKED.
Not saying his chin is now good, but improvement is an improvement, that with overall improvement in his boxing game under Roach, Defence, footwork, gameplans ect, starts to improve and further a fighter all round.
look at how broad his shoulders are, do you seriously think he made weight easily, fighters do tend to actually grow out of a weight especially at Khans age. Oh yeah, sorry, growth doesnt occur in boxers does it?atsch
Mate he is not to big for 135, he walks about around 147, he eats what he want't at 140 he can easily make 135.
As Brits we should hope his chin improves it would be best for British boxing vs world boxing, but people just dont like Khan, or want him to reach the top, sad ****.
Yeah they do I'm sure of it. Subconsciously they will want him to win, but because hes Asian/Pakistani and with all the drama with Islam and stereotyping it makes people talk a lot of nonsense about him - Its too easy to slag Khan off... Because of his ethnicity .. If your a true fight fan, you will enjoy the way Khan fights, he is an exciting fighter....
Hes not too big for 135 but hes better suited to higher weight classes imo, where his legs are stronger
the poll results so far suggest that people expect khan to KO brook or win by decision, but brook wont beat khan by decision. It suggests that brooks only chance is to KO khan.
