Just when I'm starting to respect this guy. Khan has massive amounts of talent but: A.) His only high profile wins are over a faded and "tiny by comparison" Barrera and a powder punching Paulie Malignaggi. B.) His chin is puff candy C.) He consistently calls out smaller men Tim Bradley has never been stopped and he's now campaigning across two weight divisions. Khan - Stop talking **** and start doing something.....
Khan doesn't have the power, I've seen all of Khan's fights, He throws volumes of powder puff punches darts in and out, he still fights like amateur, If Feddy roach and team Khan really had confidence in Khan, they would let him fight bradley or any top lightwelter, If Marquez wins Saturday, I think he will give Khan the hardest fight he has ever had, even though khan has all the advantages over a much smaller 37 year old man, who is coming to end of his career.
Khan's got some pop. Don't kid yourself. HBO needs to step up and give these two a good payday to get it on. Put another big fight on the card (Pwilly/Martinez, something like that) and make it a PPV. It will do alright.
I've watch Khan from when he was an amatuer, and he was great amatuer, but when he turned pro, I was disappointed, he wouldn't fight the top guy's in the Uk or europe at his weight, Khan is a Hype job, He got a allot of publicity in the UK when won the silver at the Olympics His promoter in the UK at the time Frank Warren knows how build a fighter up. Make his record look impressive, but if you look at his record Khan has fought nothing but, I was going to bums but any one who earns his living boxing is not a bum.
I'd favor Khan.....but I don't think it will be easy. Both are very fast and athletic. Kahn has the edge in speed and power but I think Alexander is a bit more fluid. I think everyone should stay clear of Zab though.
Mate, he's 23. The guy surpasses Hatton and Calzaghe by a mile in padding terms so I don't see the problem. Any of the names he fights now at his age is a huge accomplishment. Hatton and Calz didn't fight anyone of recognition till they go to what? their 30th fight or later? Give the guy space. He's already fought Malignaggi who was a top class A grade boxer. That's not a hype job my friend.
Malignaggi couldn't crack an egg with a brick, bro. It was a "decent win" at best and now he is chasing another lightweight in Marquez to go with his bull**** and insignificant win over Barrera - which is sickening. The comparison with Hatton and Calzaghe is invalid. Khan won Olympic Silver and Olympic stars should be making moves quicker. Think of Ali, Leonard, De La Hoya, Whitaker, Holyfield. You're already world class coming out of the Olympics because of your experience (unless your first name is Audley) and you shouldn't be getting nudged along like you're on a learning curve (when you're a champion). Unless of course your team is worried about you getting your ass sparked clean out!:deal
I wasn't really relating to Malignaggi's power (as he has none). More so to his Boxing Ability. Khan proved that he has A grade boxing ability by schooling another A grade boxer. That's true but we all know about Khans chin right. So we know until his defence is up to a standard where he can defend himself from elite world class shots then there is no point putting him in with huge punchers because they'll just finish him and his career. at the Audley part.
Maligaggi was a safe fight for Khan, 23 year old or not, he's a world lightwelter champ he's supposed to fight top lightwelters, when I see him in with a top lightwelter I might change my mind, but the way things are going its not going happen.
Yeah well no defence is water tight and I think he's as elusive and he's ever going to be. Feeding on guys from 135lbs is giving people the shits. Bradley doesn't have a high KO percentage so get it together and back your mouth up. Twitter arguments don't prove a thing. Audley is a ****in donkey lol
What are you talking about? Paulie Malignaggi was not a top lightwelterweight? :huh You're basing 'top lightwelterweights' on punch power.
Name the last good 140lber Witter beat. Name the last good 140lber Peterson beat. Yet some of the biggest names on other peoples resumes.
