Alex Ariza: Manny runs up 1/4 mile steps 5x, Khan can do it freak of nature 10x

Tell Ariza and Freddie Khan is no freak of nature esp. when they are keeping him away from the guys with power Im not a Khan believer yet, maybe in the future. They know if this kid gets beaten again the way he did previously, his ego and mentally he would never be the same, can't blame them.

 

Saying is one thing, doing is another. Bradley would send him out on a stretcher.

 

outside the ring conditioning means **** all.

i ll give you an example . there was a guy at my gym who was an ex army recruit. freak in the gym but ***** in the ring. in the gym he could do 45 pullups, do 200 pushups non stop, and run a mile faster than anyone else. had all the physical gifts - literally the best in each facet at the gym.

when he got into the ring- everytime a punch threw at him- he would flinch- like he was catching a ball and afraid of bobbling it- like i mean react like a girl when a cup is dropped- squeeling!

on the other hand- there were guys who smoked , who literally beat the **** out of him on the regular.

too much is made of how fast a guy runs- or how many punches they throw on the mitts. sure kahn has gifts- but that means **** all if you cant take a punch- or cant time the punch to be effective. i like khan- but comparing him to pac is very unfair to both guys. pac eats this guys lunch night and day.

 

Has a nice uppercut too though when he uses it.

He still goes ape **** when he has a guy hurt though, all straights, I agree. Age I think.

Thought goes out out the window, that could be his downfall quicker against better opponents than just getting hit in open rounds if you what i mean.

 

Yeah but when you're so fast it's not as much of a glaring issue as it should be. But he'll calm down with age

 

I agree, i lke khan. Roach has calmed him down in the start of matches, just a matter of time till he gets him to keep his focus throught the fight, including when he has someone in trouble.

 

Do they put a picture of a Maidana behind Khan to get him to run faster?

:think

 

His the first fight in the states is the most carefully selected fight he could get.

Dont **** on my shoes and tell me its raining

 

:rofl

 

Solid points. He's young and he's still being built from the ground up after that devastating KO loss. Why risk him against a huge huge puncher so soon? And besides, Paulie does present a good challenge from a skill point of view. It's a good fight and I'm looking forward do it.

 

Paulie is already an established fighter, much bigger then most fighters out there and the fight is going to be in Paulies back yard. If you don't think Paulie is going to be a big step up and a hard test for Khan then you clearly don't know ****. Paulie can't knock him out thats for sure, but he could out-box him and could make him look stupid, Paulie has much, MUCH more skill then Maidana. Paulie just makes the most sense for his first fight there.

 

Cut the bull****.

Did he avoid one fighter and choose another? Yes or no

 

Everybody with half a brain cell knows that Khan would just out box that overrated banger for 12 rounds and just win the fight on points. Maidana can just hit hard, nothing else, and boxers that hit hard like him, can't really do anything else.

 

So he shouldn't bother fighting him?
