Amir Khan's achievements when compared to other British fighters ...

The first line of this almost made me fall off my chair.

But yeah Khan gets too much ****, i think a lot of it is frustration, i know it is with me me.

Khan CAN beat a guy like Danny Garcia but he fights in a way which gives Garcia a chance to hayemaker his chin, it's stupidity

 

Why?

Hometown favourtism? Amir has never been on the sweet end of that dynamic

Working with Wild Card & Ariza then complaining about synthetic testostorone?

When has Khan shown a preference for boxing at range against anything other than favourable opponents? It hasnt happened for the same reasons he has 3 losses & will have more losses in the future

 

Your reasoning is poor at best.

Stop trying to act smart, it's embarrassing.

 

The title of this thread is - Amir Khan's achievements when compared to other British fighters ...

Not do you like Amir Khan.

Now like i asked name me a British fighter that has won silver at 17 and a world title by 22. Also won titles in differant weight classes by 25?

You, Sir, are a buffoon

 

Moe *Syzlak?

The definition of failure, what happened to all your other accounts?

 

I don't think he has been given every possible advantage at all. I actually don't understand where this early ride career bull**** that Khan has supposedly had. I for one feel he has been matched fairly tough from his fights with Limond, Lawton, Graham Earl, Michael Gomez and so on.. Where are these supposed advanatages? Yes, these guys aren't massive punchers but what can Khan do about that? Who was he meant to face during that time of his career? Murray?

Guys like Hatton, Haye, Froch, Calzaghe had it no different to Khan in their early goings. If anything, Calzaghe and Hatton didn't start fighting boxers of note before they got to 25+ fights. This is a rediculous trend that we've set and it gets worse and worse. Just like DeGale for example. He's won the british title within ten fights and in losing to Groves and that tough fight with the pole, he was touted as a 'bum' and needs to supposedly retire (yes, retire) in when he had only had about 11 fights or however much it was.

Now going back to Khan, from Barrera onwards, Kotelnik was a massive step and a huge gamble. Home turf certainly wasn't an advantage because Khan dominated him, more or less. Salita was a mandatory. We couldn't have expected Khan to have dropped his title. Malignaggi is no puncher but he was the perfect guy. Khan asked for Maidana next, which we all got. Most expected him to get ****ed up and lose. He made it. McCloskey was like the Malignaggi fight - it was business and it made perfect sense. Then going to a 'shot' Judah who had come off wins against Matthysse, Mabuza and then went on to win against that philly guy after he lost against Khan.

Then came Khan's mandatory, Peterson which was controversial as hell and then came his bad loss to Garcia and anyone who knew anything about Garcia and respected what he had, knew it was a tough fight (myself included).

I don't see the easy ride whatsoever.

 

Like I said embarrassing.

I suggest you get rid of the "dr"to.

Accept i am your superior and i will let you off with a pass.

 

Place those achievments in context to how they were achieved compared to other British fighters included in the OP

You are an emotional fanboy, unable to handle or deal with a perspective which does not hold Amir in reverential esteem

Name me a British fighter who has made 10+ title defences over several years & who did so without any major backing & was never Kayoed in his prime ?

 

Maybe Thaxton, but even he was on the down slide. Like I said, I wouldn't rate Hatton/Calz's early fights anymore than I would Khan's.

 

LMAO FANBOY!!!!!!

I am in no way a fan boy, if a fighter has perfomed badly I will say. Khan has performed poorly in some of his performances. This thread is about Khan an his accomoplishmants which I beleive he has done well. Yes he did get KO'd by Prescott and Garcie and outpointed by Peterson. He also has good wins over Kotelnek, Mallignanggi, Maidana and Judah. Im not saying he is P4P no. 1 or G.O.A.T or anything near that, but he is a good solid fighter and will become champion again. So Im not going to name anyone else as this thread is about Khan, Im not ripping into decent fighters you are. So if you made a thread on Froch, Haye, or anyone else' acheivmants I wouldn't rip them either as the acheived a lot. Blind hatred is the worst kind. Again this thread is about Khan so tell me anyone who acheived what he has by 25?
