Amir Khan: Latest VIDEO Interview and Training from Wild Card Gym

Most hate him b'cuz he called out top fighters in the past and stated he could beat them. My answer is, like most boxers he is full of confidence and has the right to do so. So comments such as what he's made don't upset me one bit. But other than that there is no obvious reason to hate the guy personally. You may not like the way his career is moved forward by Frank Warren or you may not like his style etc etc but i don't understand why people go personal. I truly think, most haters (not all) hate on him due to his race. And trust me alot of them do exist, as iv witnessed at his live fights.

 

Good lad,I'm really becoming a big Khan fan,the guy has got mad skills and athleticism and wit hhis glass chin it always makes a fight interesting.
He will grow under Roach bigtime.Picking him to beat Kotelnik but it will be close,the ukranian is a good fighter himself.

 

He will become champ in his next fight. Worst glass jaw of the sport? and you've come to that conclusion with Amir Khan only having only fought 20 fights. Which of Khan fights influenced your decision of him having the worst chin in the sport? Prescott? A guy with a 90% KO record and even that was a defensive error from Khan. Willie Limmond? Where Khan was off-balance and pretty muched pushed over. Or did i miss something?

 

Im not saying Khans got the best chin, but it's too early to judge his chin. As Darni187 says, boxing is not all about having a granite chin. Amir Khan has got all the tools to become a great champ apart from a tough chin, BUT the chin can be protected. And if Khan, can protect it, he will do well in the sport.

 

There is an EXTREMELY bad sign in the second video. He says he could make weight now and has to eat more to keep the weight on. That shouldn't be the case and shows he is still a natural lightweight. His body hasn't outgrown the weight. He is electing to move up and fight at 140. To me this says his chin will certainly not improve. If he was weight drained at 135 then I could entertain the thought that at a more natural 140 it might improve. But he clearly wasn't weight drained. If anything he will be more vulnerable against naturally bigger, stronger punching guys. This seems a bizarre move to me and makes me wonder if he's moving up simply so he doesn't have to fight Prescott again. If that's not the case then I don't understand the decision.

 

You can't say with anything approaching certainty that 140 is his natural fighting weight. He weighed in at 134.5 last time out and looked as sharp, fast and fit as I've seen him. That, combined with the fact he has to eat more now, hints that 140 is not his natural weight fighting weight. We'll see in the fight how comfortable he is at the weight. And if he maintained such a healthy lifestyle why would he talk about the temptation of McDonald's near the gym?

 

yep khan said it's getting the last few pounds off him which is hard. Khan would make 140 easier than he would make 135.
