khan is a good fighter, he just not the best in his divsion and he want be the best in any division he fights in. and whats bout to be ****ed up for him is if he beats garcia then people will say garcia was to green or a older morales almost stopped him. so he will get little to know credit from his criticizers. if he loses then he really bout to get hated on bad. i think his next fight is a 50/50 fight to me, i can make a decent argument for both guys.khan better win if he wants his fans to believe he is has great as he says he is.
At that point you cant blame people for thinking that. He had nothing really to show for his fame and got brutally ended by a no namer
yup, do a search, endless supply of "he's a bum, will never be more than domestic level" quotes from the same haters that give him **** now.
He will always be hyped because British love boxing and buy lots of tickets but don't have many boxers to get behind. Khan is a good fighter but he will always be hyped to be more than he really is for this reason.
A hype job gets exposed, beaten then dissapears (JEFF LACY). A good boxer who loses brushes himself off and gets better.
I guess it's human nature to brandish someone a hypejob over a knockout loss. u can brandish anyone a hypejob regardless i guess. Easy thing to do. I guess people shouldn't be too quick to call Kell Brook a hypejob this early on, though. People will regardless. He has some hype to live upto yet. Time will tell.
Bredis Prescott was known as a hard hitter. Khan ate the shot many knew Prescott could deliver. I don't think Khan was considered a 'hypejob' he was just building his resume as the British fighters are famous for doing, ran into a dark-horse and get served.
khan is a good-great fighter, I believe he can develop to be a great one cause he is still young. His loss was simply like to pac's early KO loses and pac had twice. He got up from that and continue on, real hypejobs are the likes of jeff lacy
He was getting over hyped, that loss was the best thing what could of happened to him, imagine if he got to world level with the style he used to use, he would have got humiliated, I would now class him as a world title level boxer, under rated by many, over rated by a few
Of course he was a hypejob,but I don't mean that in a bad way. He performed well at the Olympics,and it's not like the UK is spilling over with potential superstars. He was also a much more humble person back then,and really was a PR dream at the time. I don't like Amir's persona,but if we could eliminate all this P4P nonsense and appreciate him for exactly what he is (an exciting but limited fighter) then it'd be a lot easier for everyone. He'll never be an ATG,but does anyone really believe that he will,or that we can't enjoy his fights because he'll never be great?
