:roflatsch your posts on Khan in this and every thread are delusional. He is an extremely limited fighter who can only fight one way. He has so many faults it isn't worthwhile to even list them all. He simply isn't a Prizefighter. Period.
Honestly it does make some sense. To take the shots Maidana and Peterson landed on him and then get dropped and wobbled by Diaz, it's a difference.
For a guy who "isnt a prizefighter" hes seems to gain a lot of success and millions of dollars. And even if he wasnt, why the hate?
Unrelated, but found it quite suprising that based off Twitter, Khan is the second most followed fighter [http://www.eastsideboxing.com/2013/the-tweet-science-of-boxing-top-10-fighters-on-twitter/]. If there's one thing, he brings serious $$$ to the boxing game, and if nothing else at least he brings serious exposure to the declining sport of boxing. So at least from that perspective, he does get a bit too much hate
TWITTER stuff is part bull**** Lots of celebs buys Twitter followers - well known. There's even a website that tells you who has likely bought twityter followers. To prove the point, His Fiance at one point had a huge Twitter following but was then downsized. I don't doubt he probably does have a huge number of followers, for various reasons - his appeal and hatered is an international phenomenon. ****stan has a huge population - he is the only ****stani boxer who is big. Loads of British people follow him for many reasons - Olympics, fame, looks, religion, ethnicity, and of course the haters to send messages to him or post his ******ed messages on forums etc. Then you got the US, factor where he has a name being touted around in America. And finally his global appeal as a 'muslim' sportsman - may resonae in the many muslim countries - although this figure is likely to be very low in comparison to his other groups of followers. Having said all that, I think Khan came across relitively well in that interview and made some decent points. Obviously "i'm a superstar" thing is still in his head. I think it's good he said he would sooner face someone more dangerous like a Matthysse than a relitively unknown Kell Brook - speaks volumes. Kell hasn't fought anyone and when faced with an opportunity like Bradley or Alexander, he has hid away.
He's not that tall, he's only 5'9. Peterson has a larger frame, same height as Khan and makes 140 and he weighs around 154 fight night.
khan sucks balls. Imagine him fighting someone like ortiz, he will get KTFO and ortiz isnt even that good.
He has been knocked down every stage as a fighter- amateur or pro, big gloves and small gloves headgear and no headgear As a world rated pro and as a novice pro, he has hit the deck As a pro he has been knocked down in every weight class he fought in also As a pro he has been knocked OUT !!!!! in every weight class he fought in :good:good The problem is not his weight Take a wild guess
this is what arum said about cotto at 140 and Miguel had no problem moving up to 147 and was more durable. khans a bad-ass that was born with limited punch resistance and a glass jaw. he will not fair well at 147 because he doesn't have the power nor the defense to make it. take floyds skills and khans heart and you would have a complete fighter.
