I am a Khan fan because of his heart and he's british ( just for the record) But last night he proved he could beat the equivalent to a British Title holder or European title holder. Paulie Malignaggi isnt slick, his power is actually really really bad, he doesnt move well! Hatton looked ALOT better than Khan did if im honest. Khan is not going to be champion for a long time, if he fights... Ortiz, Maidana, Bradley, Alexander, Urango he will be beaten! And i am a Khan fan! Khan's main asset is his speed and that is WAAAAAAY overrated... As a Brit posting on the General Forum i am just pre-warning for any overhype our fighter gets before hes shown up! Does anyone else share the same opinion ATALL?!
I think his handspeed is outstanding. He dominated Malignaggi, whose handspeed is good as well. However, we still havent learned about his chin as Malignaggi isn't even an average puncher, let alone a big puncher.
Yeah, you sound like a Khan fan. If you think Victor Ortiz can beat Amir Khan, you should have your head examined. I would definitely pick Khan to beat Urango, but it isn't completely out of the question for Urango to score a knockout. Maidana? Well, he has proven to be a devastating puncher and he would have to be given a chance, but I think Khan is fast and accurate enough to get the win. Now, Bradley and Alexander? I would pick them to beat Khan, but Khan proved that he is for real with his wins over Kotelnik and Malignaggi. Remember, Khan is pretty tall for the Jr. Welterweight division at 5'10'', he is fast, has good timing and a great trainer in Freddie Roach. His only real downside is his chin. It isn't great, but this is boxing and anyone can be knocked out. Amir Khan has potential, but he is currently swimming in a deep division. I wish him well.
