Is Amir Khan underrated

Undoubtedly

A lot of people are going to look very silly. It's too simplistic to write guys off because they've been down once aged 21

 

You're probably right but I do take exception to having fighters rammed down my throat.

 

:rofl

 

Excellent first post

Welcome to ESB - you'll fit in

 

Hype doesn't take away from talent. It's annoying, but I don't need some mugs in the media to tell me how good a fighter is

Offensively he's one of the best prospects out there. Defensively there is some way to go, but there aren't many finished articles aged 21

John Thaxton would get retired

 

dont know about that, raiymkulov is an OK lighweight

 

You don't win silver against cubans at the olympics aged 17 by being overrated he is very good all the talk of being protected because of his chin is probably true though and want to make as much money as possible out of him.I can see him being almost a good champion but then i think the Hamed course is more likely.

 

Comprehensive analysis. Isn't he called Juan Diaz? Anyway, nobody is even saying he's ready for that

I'd say he's overrated by the media and underrated by many boxing fans. The media tout him like he's a sure world champion in the next 12 months, when in reality he's just a hot prospect

Boxing fans place too much emphasis on one knockdown, when he wouldn't be the first fighter in history to have problems in his early fights and come back stronger
