E. Steward: Amir Khan has 'serious flaws' will be exposed by a skilled puncher

still, king khan will win it!

 

it's just a tactic of steward!

 

Doesn't necessarily take a skilled puncher to expose Khan's flaws. That Colombian farmer did pretty well by just winging haymakers. Maidana hits hard but has slow hands and he was catching Khan with some decent shots as well.

 

Khan's got an elite skillset...Steward says some stupid things sometimes...if he thinks Bradley will beat him, he's gonna be diappointed..

 

Hell yeah he has flaws. He got a weak ass defence and a GLASS JAW. He was very lucky to survive Maidana. He should send his thanks to Joe Cortez. Kahn is a KO waiting to happen, nothing more.

 

People forgetting it took Roach almost ten years to develop PAC into a fighter he is today. Roach can't change Khan in three years and Roach is not in a hurry to change Amir cause it's impossible. Give Roach another 4 years and you will the finish product, the complete P4P Number 1 fighter in world Amirrrr King Khan!!!!

 

its not something id normally do but khan gets blasted by people all the time so why not do it to other fighters. seems like it bothered you just like its gonna bother kha n fans when he gets called chinny overrated and unskilled.

also its just an examle to show how well khan is doing. look at the exposure and column space khan gets over other young fighters.he clearly got something otherwise we wouldnt be discussing him all the time.

 

it didn't really bother me as i'm a fan of neither, just sayin'.

 

I do not see anything special about Amir Khan.Anyone can see the guy's record is padded.The day he steps in with Bradley he's gonna lose no doubt.Too many flaws and he cant even block upper shots & non of Freddie's fighters can including Manny.

 

EVERYBODY has flaws

 

Every fighter has flaws, but Khan’s flaws are magnified 10 times over due to his fragile whiskers. He can’t afford to make mistakes like others can, because he’s always one punch away from being knocked out. So certain things such as over-committing, poor inside game, defence, etc, are always going to be over-scrutinized. The man has to put in picture-perfect performances in nearly every single fight, if he’s to avoid being stopped.

Seriously, we often forget how much of a burden that weak-ass chin is, and how well he’s done to get where he is now.

 

I don't think anyone will KO him at 140

 

Steward is correct.

 

I have got on Khan's back, not cause I dislike him, but sometimes cause I feel he gets slightly overrated, that said, I do need to give him more credit for what he's good at, as what he does well, he's extremely effective with.

I have spoken how I think Bradley being a more dimensional fighter will beat him imo, but its a 50/50 fight, 60/40 if Khan utilize his footwork properly, only reason I picked Bradley, is cause I question whether Amir has the footwork to maintain his range and not allow Bradley inside, having said that, Khan could allow Bradley inside, end up in a helluva fight, and use just enough footmovement to offset him most of the time where by he outworks him, so yeah, Khan is good at what he does, can win that fight, I'm looking foward to watching it.

I think Amir's flaws may of had a positive effect on him. I'd say Amir is a lot more saavy now, than he's ever been, that he has a better medium between offense and defense to where by he's not extending himself as much and leaving himself open as much.

 

Khan's defence and footwork need a lot of improvement, but we don't have enough information about him at 147 to say whether he would or would not beat Margarito or the current Cotto. (Remember, Cotto isn't the same as he used to be after those losses)
