    True that's why he needs better training on defence, Roach is not the guy for that.

    Influential and wealthy? Yes.

    Ever going to be a P4P elite or HOF caliber fighter? No.

    Worthy of his fans scolding and mocking others for favoring other fighters such as Bradley over him for years now? No, his fans were wrong.

    Of course he is and his fighting style will always attract fans. Sadly, I don't see him going far in this sport unless he decides to box without the need to open up to silence ******s on the internet.

    LAWL.

    Do you want me to post that article on how they gave half of the tickets of Khan-Garcia for free and 700 tickets were unsold ?

    Khan isn't a big draw in USA, deal with it. Why the **** does he stay there to begin with ?

    WAS......

    dude just lost 2 fights in a row and has been brutally beatdown and stopped twice

    he's a got a long road back to legitimacy and might never make it now that the world knows about his chin....he better fight nothing but feather fisted guys from here on cause everyone knows now they can just eat his punches and walk through him and if they get to his chin it's goodnight.

    When people mention Khan I basically just shrug my shoulders. I'd rather talk about upcomers like Rigo, Broner, Matthysse, GRJ, and others. Most people I talk to don't think Khan is impressive. And they don't care about how much money he makes.

    Kid lookss good against a certain level boxer like a Salita or a Judah. But i started noticing he starts to struggle against the young bulls like a Peterson or a Garcia. Kid has no power to match those young bulls.Khan slaps pitty pat shots them young bulls hit ya with a sledge hammer.Real talk.

    I think losing to Garcia shows he does not have the discipline to be a great fighter. He has great skills, but leaves himself open, and if he does not have a great chin he cannot leave himself open like that.

    well apart from mayweather he is the second most popular boxer on twitter in terms of followers. Hes wealthy because hes a standout figure being muslim and pa.kistani so companies, spomsors etc see him as a huge opportunity to broaden their markets. he is not deserving of that popularity and fame however because he is a sub par fighter.

    NO. Simple mathematics. He is a level below elite. He lacks power or any real slick skillz at the higher level.

    Well said sir.

    Considering he is allegedly massive at 140 he lacks real power in not only his punch but his overall strength as well.
