    Khan has very little head movement, he never rubber necks a shot, he drops his right when he throws his left, hence how left hooks always put him down, and it looks like he's almost pulling his punches currently. He just doesn't seem the same puncher he used to be. I haven't seen any progression in him since the Kotelnik fight really. For all the top trainers he's been with none of them have made him keep his god damn left hand up!

    The Diaz test is exactly what he needs only if they learn from it. It's no good talking about 'making the right decisions when he's hurt' when you aren't addressing the problems that are getting him hurt! I think his blistering hand speed might cover his flaws in training, because they are obvious and unchanged in all of his fights!

    Definitely. I wouldn't be surprised if his hands are in a bad way nowadays.

    Yes I remember Freddy mentioning Khan doesn't put no power in his shots any more as he has damaged his wrist.

    Surely what he needs is to get through a fight without a spot of breakdancing.

    Khan is deluded and has abysmal punch resistance and even worse technique.

    I would say he was 100% off balance with the knockdown stop hating and re watch it. Look at him when he gets up, he isnt dazed at all and his legs are totally fine.

    He still looked like **** in the second half of the fight. A better opponent will bring out the best in him but he is a brutal knockout waiting to happen. I will have money on it too.(not as much as lirva)

    he was off balance all night then, everytime diaz found his chin it was like his legs were being electrocuted and they were spazzing out

    i guess he was off balance for the whole 11th round when he was falling around the ring

    hunter is claiming it was a trip because he knows amir is so dumb he will believe hunter and his confidence wont suffer, imagine khan had the intelligence to realise his chin was as bad as it is, he would be a shot fighter with zero confidence

    his team keep saying **** like dont worry bro that punch hit you on the neck it was an illegal punch bro, or he was on steroids blud init, or you were caught cold blad by a shot that would take out anyone bro, you have a chin made of cast iron bro

    his team tell him this **** to keep his confidence high and keep the cow cashing, very clever in one way but they should look out for their so called mates health first before he gets badly hurt in there cause he cannot take a punch well enough to compete at the highest level

    Not really mate, if boxers the world over were like Amir Khan; disrespectful, deluded, slightly arrogant, slightly over rated and so on ................... :cool:

    Then fans the world over would all be in the same boat, they would dislike every fighter in the world. There is too much to dislike about the whole Amir Khan package than there is to like, he sells himself in a terrible manner, he tries to come across confident but comes across deluded and arrogant, when he's actually being arrogant (Ringside Kell Brook interview) he looks unintelligent.

    Not that it bothers Khan what his public perception is because the lad is a very successful wealthy young man, but people like you need to acknowledge the things he says and the way he conducts himself is going to attract criticism.

    I imagine Khan is probably a very nice lad inside his inner circles of Family and friends, if you like that sort of thing, but his statements and general demeanour is unacceptable in the boxing world.

    Pop quiz hotshots:

    How many times has Khan been knocked down in his pro career?

    I doubt he was off balance or weight drained for all of them...

    I'm guessing eight times?

    Limond
    Gomez
    Prescott x 2
    Garcia x 3
    Diaz
