    Don't know much about him.... all I really know about him is that he got knocked out early one time and everyone complains about his race.....


    is he any good? i just read somewhere that he wants to be the first to beat mayweather? what are the odds....

    if floyd beats shane then pacqiaou.... and in that tmie kahn fights some decent comp.... i could actually see this fight coming off in the uk

    people complain about his chin and opposition, not his race

    I think he's good. Fast and technically sound and pretty smart. But he's got a major weakness that he kind of loses it when he gets hit clean kind of like Wlad.

    Hes alright.

    He bases everything off of speed, which is understandable since he is a fast kid. He's never been in deep waters, and honestly, I don't think he'll handle the heat that comes with fighting quality opponents.

    An old Barrera, Kotelnik and Salita does not match up to the likes of Alexander or Bradley.

    Khan has arguably the fastest hands in boxing and is under one of the top coaches, so he'll go far.

    he has a style a little bit like a young Oscar but maybe just a little more on his toes, and little bit less commited to his punches.

    Not talking level of ability, just style.

    Good power, very good speed, big for his weight class. I think technically he's just a good fighter, but improving more and more. On a technical level, I don't see him as being in the same class as Bradley, Alexander or Peterson. But he's in the league of Malignaggi. Again, just on a technical level. The size, speed and power have him probably giving Bradley and Alexander a good fight, although I think he loses to both at this point.

    Are you ****ing ******ed? Why are you even putting Khan against Floyd? Amir Khan has just turned 23 and isn't even at his peak, give him a ****ing break you dumb *****. I guess all Floyd fans are ******s afterall.



    Now I will answer your question. Amir Khan is getting better and better all the time. He won a silver medal at just 17 and is has great speed and decent power. Although due to inexperience and some bad choices by a former trainer, he was knocked out badly. A lot of people hate on him and I really don't know why. He was also knocked down and hurt by light hitters when he was fighting at 135 but he has now fighting at 140 where he is supposed to feel more comfortable, although he hasn't faced a decent hitter yet so nobody really knows if he can take a shot yet. And in all honesty he hasn't yet faced somebody that could match him for speed and skill yet so this fight against Paulie is really going to be interesting to see. Overall, under Freddie Roach and his new conditioning, his improved defence and his great speed with decent power he is a talented fighter and assuming he performs well against somebody as skilled as Paulie then I think he will go far.


    EDIT.

    Also Amir Khan is actually a great fighter to watch, I don't think I have seen him in a boring fight. He moves quickly and throws like 6 punches in a flurry and moves around quickly, so yeah if you are going to see him fight live then I don't think you will be disappointed.
