Amir Khan: The European Warrior, The Bolton Lightening Bolt, The Pride of Britain!

Giving Khan the credit he deserves..
Amir King Khan, 5'8.5, now a welterweight hails from Great Britain.
He respects other cultures whilst remaining patriotic. An Olympic Silver Medalist at just age 17, he had dominated en route to the Olympic final, having stopped 2 of his 4 opponents which include the likes of the elite Stilianov, Jong-sub and Yeleuov before losing to one of the GOAT's Mario Kindelan in a closely fought contest.

Thereafter he turned pro, aiming to wave the flag for European boxing and South Asia.

He was steamrolling through his opposition until he lost to Breidis Prescott by brutal knockout. Amir had two options:
1. Be a real man and fight on with heart
2. Escape from life and become demotivated

Amir had MADE HIS LEGACY as the courageous one with heart. His detractors envy his self-belief and feel stumped by the insecurities it causes them.

Amir developed momentum under trainer Freddie Roach as he completely outclassed the Ukrainian Andriy Kotelnik.

He then went on to destroy an 09' Malignaggi as he further developed in the pro ranks, then came the fight against THE POWER PUNCHER, MARCOS MAIDANA.

Maidana was a stylistic threat who had a fear factor about him due to his power, Amir knocked him down and proceeded to beat him in a gruelling but DECISIVE victory - something even the all time great Floyd Mayweather could not do in their first fight. Amir PROVED in that fight his chin wasn't as bad as predicted.

Amir then finished Zab Judah (who had a razor close fight with Matthysse) within just five rounds! Amir's speed kills.

In a farce of a fight, Amir who in the opinion of the majority, outpointed Peterson, was not awarded the decision because of the Testosterone cheat Peterson and his hat man sidekick did not allow for this.

Thereafter, he decided to give Danny Garcia a chance. He didn't have to, he could have chosen a much easier opponent, and he was outclassing Garcia until Danny landed a crispy hook. Todays Virgil-trained Khan will NOT suffer the same fate.

Khan decided to fight on. You may say his chin is glass, but I say his HEART IS GRANITE

Thereafter, Khan didn't lose since. He handily beat Devon Alexander and then beat Algieri in a competitive contest. People who don't know boxing underrated Algieri in a matchup against Khan. All of a sudden people CONVENIENTLY forget that Algieri had an even fight with the Siberian killer, Ruslan Provodnikov. Khan knew and I knew that it was going to be a tough fight, yet he was victorious.

Khan is a VERY GOOD pure boxer, the fastest hands in boxing today, the greatest HEART in boxing.

He is THE MAN to pose a threat to Mayweather. Look at the odds he fought against as a result of his chin not being so great, yet Khan pushed forward.

He may not be an all time great, but if you dislike this guy as a boxer, you are not a true boxing fan.
He may be annoying at times constantly calling out Mayweather, but those who get butt hurt over it are truly among the mental midgets.
His fights are always exciting, love him or hate him.

Yawn. Your hate for Amir is too transparent.

 

1. He's not a fraud. He's had a good career. No one is claiming he's an ATG.
2. His chin is not the best, and YET he had a good career.
3. Khan beat Maidana, Judah, Peterson (in reality), Alexander...he's also a good pure boxer who possesses a stylistic threat and brings pretty good money to the table. Mayweather chose Maidana (and had an even fight with him), and now he's chosen BERTO. Yet your bias ensues.
4. Charley Burley never won a world championship.
5. Khan moved up because he was getting weaker from trying to make 140lbs. He fought at 147lbs and felt stronger, felt a stronger punch resistance and dominated Collazo who is a very underrated fighter.
6. Brook has only one win over Porter in a RAZOR CLOSE FIGHT. He then faced some random guy called DONUT Dan, but the same people who dislike Khan were praising Brook, and hating on Khan for choosing Algieri - a truly world class fighter.
7. He moved up from lightweight because he was a young developing guy
8. Judah wasn't shot - your bias knows no bounds. He had just beaten Matthysse and had a lot of confidence
9. Barrera is not a name for the legacy, it was a career move, dumbass.
10. You'll see, Khan will fight a good name. He wants to fight an American fighter who's known in America, hopefully it's Garcia. Thurman is a boring slow plodder, I'm not interested in a Thurman fight. Porter is exciting.

 

Anyway, just wanted to create this appreciation thread as Khan gets hate from the trolls.
