HE IS ONLY 21...I know a lot of you have problems with the nuthuggers who thought he would instantly be a world champion and a lot you have problems with frank warren and how delicately he's tried to manage his career.... BUT THE KID IS 21...I mean he's got A LOT of room/time to develop/improve physically,mentally, and technically. There are a lot of prospects who are 25, 26, 27...He has YEARS until he gets to that point. If he is managed properly, who are you all to say he cant be a world champion? He has the skills...Does he have the chin? Not right now...But a lot of that is due to how he boxes, he invites shots (which he cannot see) to hit him. I'm not a khan fan by any means but you guys are calling him a fraud and bla bla bla...We won't know if he is or he isn't for a while because he isn't completely developed yet.
He does have natural ability but one thing you can't fix is ur chin...You eithier have one or you don't. Some just don't have Margarito or Holyfields chin. Khan at the worldclass level will get clipped every time.
Doesn't matter. Nobodies defence is perfect. Pep took flush shots from time to time. Whitaker took flush shots from time to time. Mayweather took plus shots from time to time. And once Khan get's hit flush it's lights out unless it's a blown up past his prime light hitting featherweight, in which case he will pick himself up off the canvas and stagger around for a bit.
I'm not hating on him cause he got ko'd....I'm criticizing him for talking so much crap about how great he is. Look Cotto got ko'd too but he's a humble, respectful cat and I'll always route for the guy because of that. Like I said before, I think the same thing is gonna happen to David Haye with his mouth...and at heavyweight, his chin just might be as bad as Khans.
He has a natural ability to get wobbled bu a jab and get KOed by 3-4 punches,he will neer be somebody,he is gone
IMO Khan never had the tactical skillset and technical ability to be a great fighter to begin with. This chin business is like putting cement tires on a car that couldn't exceed 50 mph in the first place. He'll be parked on a lawn and rusting in no time.
He was wobbled by a jab, in the the first round no less. He's also been seriously hurt by feather fisted journeymen. Unless he turns into Willie Pep, he's in trouble. Getting hit is a part of the sport. This guy seems to have very little ability to take a punch. Even if he becomes an above average defensive fighter, he'll still be liable to get starched in just abiut every time he enters the ring.
