Bye Bye Khan !!

outside of Froch he is Britain's second best of the Top liners, I think this was a very good fight and khan deserves credit for lasting it out with enough to win, JUST!!!

Diaz showed great ringcraft, disire and the ability to win.
if he would have been slightly bigger in stature & strength, hell, if it were a 15 rounder he would have won.

Great ring generalship & ringcraft, full marks to Diaz, Khan was a lucky, lucky boy!

anyway outside Froch we've no one...

Fury won't make it, not good enough...
Price could but he'll get tagged...
Audley died at the Starting Gate...
Brook(?)
Eubank Jr(?)

Khan can't stay lucky too much longer.

 

OOOPS!

how could I forget my countryman and home town 'ken' tae boot?

Sorry Ricky Burns, your 3rd Draw of the British Top Liners and you WILL make it!!!

 

I think people saying that Khan is glass jawed are repeating something that just isn't true. Khan took some solid ****ing shots today without going down. The problem however, lies with his defence. He has a big problem trading punches with fighters and gets caught too often throwing wildly with his chin stuck out.
Very very exciting fighter, however I think it's too late for him to work on becoming a better defensive fighter and I believe that he surely can't have many more fights like the ones he's been having without ending up with serious consequences. There's no doubt the boy has serious self-belief and heart, but I think he's made a lot more than most and should think about stepping down if things don't go his way in the next few fights.

 

how can you mention eubank jr but not degale, groves, burns, selby, cleverly. i could go on

 

Khan biggest problem is not his chin, it's his lack of power.

He's been brainwashed in to thinking he can KO his opponents at will. Khan still can't control distance or fight on the inside. He is still bounding forward throwing combinations with total disregard of what might get thrown back.

There is no ****ing helping him.

 

INTERNATIONAL TOP LINERS or next too be!

degale, groves, selby and even clev are not international TOP liners and probably won't be. where as Brook & Eubank Jr. are already on the radar, and the others ARE!

 

This, been saying this since the DG fight.

I don't know what people want. Khan is one of my favourite active fighters BECAUSE of his flaws. How boxing fans can hate on a guy with a warrior spirit and whos always in exciting fights (ignored the mccloskey affair) still baffles me.

 

Feel bad for him, he quite clearly has peaked and I have doubts hell ever be a champ again. I dunno how Paulie broner will go but I could see him fight the winner.

 

Erm Yes. Do I need to recount the tales of feather fisted British journeymen fighters who have put Khan on his arse during his rise to the top or have those occasions been erased from the memory banks:rofl

 

Still don't get the hate for Khan

 

I did mention Burns and those you mentioned are NOT International TOP Liners!

you did not read my post, outside of who I mentioned who are the International Top Liners I missed?

 

He is what he is. I don't get why people are constantly complaining and criticising him. He is clearly not a P4P elite fighter like he sometimes claims, he does have a nasty habit of looking past his opponent, but he's a solid entertainer at world level, plenty of strengths, some big weaknesses, usually involved in exciting fights and certainly capable of picking up another title or two. He's basically the new Arturo Gatti.
