Keep an eye on Amir Khans brother

Welcome to the forum heihaci! :hi:

The reality is that if Khan was to fight the same way as he did against a harder hitting fighter (no disrespect whatsoever to Limond) it is unlikely he would have got the opportunity to go on and turn the tables as he was probably only a good punch away from being stopped at one stage.

The problem is if you add his poor defensive skills into the equation -

Questionable chin + poor defence + speed + heart = exciting but exposed fighter!!

Hopefully, he will improve his careless defence as currently I feel he relies on his speed too much and this won't compensate for or protect a suspect chin.

 

You are absolutely right about the Limond fight being a wake up call
and I'm sure Khan must have learned more from that one fight than any previously.

No doubt 'Team Khans' focus will have been on rectifying the errors made so lets hope some of the questions asked of him are answered in the next one.

 

Roy Jones managed to keep that chin problem pretty well hidden for most of his career.

 

True, but Roy had sensational reflexes. Whilst Khan is quick and talented, he doesn't have Roy Jones talent in my honest opinion

 

I'm not saying otherwise, just that I honestly believe unless Khan gets stronger with age and his punch resistance improved, then he will really struggle to beat world class fighters that can punch. Hence the 'won't go places' comment made earlier.

 

i hope he is the real deal unlike his hype job brother.

 

Roy also got KOed by World Class fighters with power, he was never nearly taken out by some feather fisted domestic fighter, who is the equivalent of a feather fisted journeyman on the world circuit, not to mention he also had freakish ability and fantastic punching power, two things that china chinned Khan doesn't have.

However, I don't have any dislike for Khan anymore. Jermain Taylor is next.

 

Give it up already, he's not going to accomplish anything at the world level.
