Amir Khan compared to Prince Naseem?

Similar in the way theyre hyped and that they needed to tighten theyre defence. Not similar styles though

 

Khan is no where near Hamed in terms of ability. Hamed had power and a chin. Khan has speed but nothing else.

 

Khan and Hamed are comparable. Hamed was a little more talented. He was very strong, hit immensely hard, took a great shot and had great reflexes with quite fast hands. Hamed was also a small man in his division, where as Khan is a big man in his!

I'm just watching the video. Hamed is one of the most audacious fighters every.

 

Khan has more technical skill but not the natural talent of Naz. Will it take him further than Naz, dont think so but time will tell. Naz garnered a lot of respect because of that knockout power so combine that with his speed and reactions and he was dangerous. I just dont see that with Khan and now people think he's glass chinned people are gonna come right after him but hey maybe the kid can handle it.

 

Agreed, Don P. Are people gagging for a shot to tag that chin when previously they would have felt him out, thus giving Khan a chance to dictate the fight.

 

I think khan is technically better than naz was at the same stage in their career.Both too wild and eager to please but if you was a trainer and you had the choice i think you would pick khan to work with.Khan has a lot to add to his game,naz had so much you would want to take away from his game before you started adding.I think khan is a lot more compact than naz and doesnt make as many glaring mistakes but of course time and opposition will tell.

 

People are talking alot of **** about Khans last fight but they are all wrong. On the chin issue that is one thing. However technically Khan has come on leaps and bounds.

He is not all bouncey on his toes like an amatuer. He is picking his shots more. Pacing himself better and yes he does keep his gloves up.

Khan never got caught because his gloves were low. He got caught because he was throwing a looping counter left hook when Limond threw a right down the pipe. Limonds punch got there quicker and harder. Khans defence has improved.

Khan still has a long way to go and as long as he is improving I am happy.

 

naseem was a freak(in a good way) and could knock a man out even while off balance.I like khan but unfortunaely dont see him winning a world title.I think some of the comparisons are made just coz both guys have asian roots(or their lack of driving skills).Amir creates the same buzz but in my opinion will never come close to matching the princes achievements

 

Hamed is one of the best fighters of the past 20 years. One loss did not make him a crud fighter.

Looking at them, hamed already had that incredibly unorthodox style down to a tee, but I don't think Khan has mastered the way he wants to fight just yet.

 

There's no comparison IMO. I wasn't a fan of Hamed's, but he DID have awesome power and had such a weird style.

They just get compared because because they are both asians.

Hamed WAS world class even though he was cocky as fk. Khan ISN'T world class. I know its early days, but Khan isn't going to get there, european tops (and that if he's lucky).

 

Just watched that, forgotten just how f'en cocky he was :yep

 

Their only similarities are their weight divisions (roughly) and their racial ethnicity. Reminds me of how great Nas was though...simply brilliant

 

If I was a trainer I would think..:huh who will get me big paydays and Hamed would be the best choice.

Hamed was far more exciting to watch and never did he get wobbled as badly as Khan did on Saturday. The knockdowns against Alicia etc had little effect on Hamed.

 

Ethnically they are actually quite different. Both middle easterners, but of very different cultures.
