is the closest to be the next Pacquaio. He has similar speed, Freddie Roach say's he's faster. Also, he is athletic, has heart, is improving, power is getting stronger and trains and hangs out with manny aswell. Freddie also says when manny spars with Amir, he's ready for any opponent cos he is sharp when he could handle Amir's speed.
Everything you say may be true, but if his ability to take a punch is as bad as everyone thinks, it all pales away and you're left with a boxer not even close to being the next Pacquaio.
Sure he does. No doubt, but that's a tall comparison to make at this point. Pac is probably the greatest fighter of the last 25 years or so -- top 3 for sure -- and Khan was KOd in one by Breidis "Who?" Prescott.
Ok, Khan was hurt in numerous fights. But he has really improved being trained by Freddie Roach. He is for real.
Why are Amir Khan fans the dumbest lot of people on ESB? TerryESB is the winner of my last Quote of the Day Thread and the Thread Starter of this one is today's. TerryESB's Award winning thead - http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=139276
I would like nothing more than Khan to become an ATG and provide a ton of entertaining fights. Just don't think it's a very real prediction at this point from what we've seen of him.
funny how presscot is the only fighter khan has faced who is of equal size and physicality. that tells me alot without having to be a boxing expert.
