Why is Amir Khan such an underachiever?

Underachieved? What a silly thing to say.

 

Idiotic thread

 

Considering his skillset he's overachieved IMO.

 

My thoughts exactly.

Instead of: "You done well bro, noone else would have got up from that, you've got heart :good"... they should be telling him: "You're an idiot. You give up all of your advantages in favour of tyring to be something you're not :verysad"

 

Terrible ring IQ, terrible IQ altogether actually the guy is thick as pig ****. And that glass chin, Amir has overachieved not underachieved.

 

he's done Ok for himself (lazarus's jaw drops)

 

I'm tempted to say that it goes back to what Eubank remarked about Khan..."he can give it, but he can't take it." Khan's a good fighter, has achieved a lot, and will likely achieve some more. But he was never going to be an absolute elite like Mayweather. He doesn't have the defensive skills or the ring I.Q. Also, his power is not particular impressive either. I think Khan is still on a journey to develop a style that really maximises his success.

 

He is not an underachiever. I think he has done the best with what he has.

 

In hindsight he has overachieved.

Bad defence
Weak chin
Poor boxing brain

No doubt he has still got potental to achieve more, The positives with Khan shine but the negatives really do glare even more brightly.

 

i dont think its his chin which people will talk about but his ego. Even though he may not come across as overly arrogant, i get the impression he thinks his abilities are better then they are. He's always saying in interviews he'll knock his other opponent out, and the other guy across the ring will wilt once he tastes his power. he needs to realise he's not a big puncher even when he tries to sit down on his shots, likewise with his footwork his footwork and height isn't as good as his claims, there are fighter in below weight who are taller then him. I wish khan all the best wether he's able to recapture any of his former glory remains doubtful, i'd pick guys like mike alvarado, matthyse, joseto lopez(if he feels like coming down to 140) and 1 or 2 others at 140 to beat him.

 

He made me laugh on Olympic show last night when talking about the GB squad ''I like most of them'' and him sitting so far away from Big Lennox. Don't be scared boy, Your arse is safe around him for now...

 

Suppose it depends on what you expected from him when he started. I think he has done just about what I expected so far. Dissapointed with the tactics he has been using or lack of. Hard to tell how good he is gonna get until he starts doing what he is told and not going to war.

 

hes not a 2 time champ

he won w LWW title unified then lost it, never no 1 in the division and since when does unifying make you a multi champ , it never has before

its the same damn title

 

I used to be the first to stick the knife in at khan and used to want him to lose but come on, seriously? If your a genuine boxing fan you can appreciate khan will fight anyone and has a pretty solid record to date. He is an Olympic silver medalist at only 17 may I remind you mayweather only got bronze.

Khan also is a 2 time world champion. Now do tell us of all your accomplishments!!! *****.

 

And for the record I think khan is a complete twat and no....I'm not Asian!!
