    The fashion in which the Khan man got destroyed points to a chin issue. Theres a reason why master Roach has rebuilt him matching him up with NON-punchers. He has nowhere near the natural toughness to hang with Chavez, and thats one thing Roach CANT teach him.

    Think before you tickle Amir's sack, eh?:good

    Your right. He was nowhere near the level of Paulie, and Kotelnik.

    JCC beats the **** out of Camacho, busts the hell out of Taylor (regardless of anybodys opinion about the ending), demolishes Haugen, and beats a number of other top rated contenders...but Amir Khan is gonna beat him at 140? No way. JCC was leagues above Khan, who's wins at 140 come over mediocre comp. with little to no pop.

    Tickle Amirs sack? Get your facts straight, check my history, I give Amir as much **** as give him plaudits.

    He's 23, lets see how the next few years pan out.

    Also for someone who obviously has a dislike of Khan to accuse someone of being a nuthugger.:lol: You do know nuthuggers and haters are cut from the same pathetic piece of cloth right?

    Even when JCC would come in at 135 against Khan at 140 I would never, ever bet on Khan in a bout between them.

    Khan has speed, speed is the key to beating Chavez.

    I dont hate Khan. I just fail to see all this talent he supposedly has. His hype is unbelievable for such an unspectacular fighter. All I see is a good jab, and fast hands. Oscar got amazing hype at that stage as well, but the differance is... Oscar was actually a special fighter. Khan is a special hype job.

    Camacho at 30, Taylor at 28 & 32, Haugen at 31.

    But lets compare him to a 23 year old green Khan, yeah that's fair.:roll:

    Tell that to Taylor. And no, Khan is nowhere NEAR as fast, skilled, or as tough as Mel was.

    You gotta have durability tho, along with excellent defense and fantastic skills. I've seen nothing from Amir recently to suggest he's that kind of fighter. He just looks like a basic technician with fantastic speed and a good jab and solid right hand - with unspectacular power. He LOOKED like he was in a fight after Paulie...whats gonna happen with JCC, who'd hit him 20x as much with MUCH, MUCH more power? This isnt rocket science here. It's 1+1=2.

    JCC would eat Khan's jabs like skittles. Khan would be pissing blood for a week.

    I wasn't the one who made the comparison. I also didn't say JCC would lose to the current Khan at 140.

    I'll agree he's been hyped to a level, but with the hype comes the pressure. He's only been with Roach for a short time so give the kid a chance eh?

    When he faces Bradley or Alexander (He beats Bradley but loses to Alexander imo) then we'll know.

    I don't believe he was hyped to the level of ODLH either, not as if the hype was Khans fault now is it?
    Even if he was hyped to that level so what? It doesn't mean people actually believed it and if they did, well, they're just ****ing stupid aren't they.
