Amir Khan

He's a greedy little **** who's in Frank Warren's pocket. He sold out to Sky at the first possible moment and stabbed all his fans in the back by making them pay 15 bob to watch his chin get wrecked in 50 seconds by a Colombian tramp. He dissed Kotelnik as the worst champion ever a couple of weeks ago, and now he's claiming he's a tough, skilled fighter. And his chin is abysmal.

On the other hand, it's not his fault the press lick his arse 24/7, and he usually behaves himself. He's also got good speed and a great jab, and his guard has improved a lot.

Verdict: Mild dickhead.

 

As I said on another thread... Was a very good interview... spoke honestly. A different Khan from the pre-Prescott days. However even then, he was a genuine, hard working fighter providing us all with entertaining fights. Hope he does well.

 

I'm not really too bothered by his personality. He's young, perhaps a bit naive and stupid. Can't say I'm a fan of his though. Just doesn't appeal to me as a fighter.

I hope he does well, although his chin is going to hold him back big time, no doubt about that.

 

i echo those comments he cae over level headed but i do think he lied when he said he wanted to fight john murray or jon thaxton .

 

Exactly.

Good luck to the lad, I hope he does a job on Kotelnik.

 

I have just seen the interview.... and I will be honest.

My thoughts on him have seriously changed.

I still don't like a few things about him, but at least he had the balls to say he isn't ready for Marquez etc.... better that than start bullshitting as he did before.

His chin will always be an issue of course, but good luck to the lad.

 

I thought Khan came across really well during the interview and Bunce is right in the last seven months he has matured and became a man. How far he will go in boxing I don't know but I do think he will beat Kotelnik with something to spare by simply boxing at length and not getting in close.

 

As said above, I've always thought Khan is a little naive, surounded by people feeding him BS and prone to speak before he thinks rather than some arrogant monster. I havn't seen the interview yet but I'm glad he came across well.

 

never had an issue with Khan's attitude, in fact it would be better for him if had more personality and was a character (that thick northern accent is annoying..LOL!)

I feel khan is still not mature physically and certainly mentally, everyone developes at different stages and khan i feel will be a late developer, people forget how young he is especially compared with the so called up and coming super stars (gamboa,26 Juanma lopez 25) and only a few fights less then the 31 year old Carl Froch.

He has a lot of natural athletic ability, however i do think his boxing skills are somewhat overrated, he has a good jab and decent footwork, but no defensive instincts and a poor boxing brain (although his work ethic and dedication will help him improve)

khan is a fast brawler, rather then the slick boxer people seem to think of him

 

No one asks him about his chin. Or what training he does to stop himself from getting hit.

I have a theory, the larger lighter boxers are around the shoulder the easier it is to Ko them, when they loose a few pounds around the shoulder they relax and are less likely to be Ko'd, i was wondering if Khan is doing this.......

But no one wants to ask the question....

 

What you gonna ask him about his chin that you dont already know?!?!?!

 

Spot on!
