Maybe also because it was his first 10 fights, his competition was pretty standard fare for any young prospect. Just be patient, when he is ready, he will be exposed, or not.
All the doubters were saying that the fact that his people INTENTIONALLY put him in with light-hitters meant nothing. All prospects face guys that can't hit, they said. I don't see 'em saying that **** anymore!!
To me that is the first warning I see about a fighter when his handlers keep putting them in there with feather fisted fighters. They know Khan has a Glass Jaw.
I had been in denial but it'snow official, Khan's chin a a glaring weakness. While it did take a few flush punches to drop him he was very badly hurt against a non puncher. Against any decent puncher Khan would have been KO'ed by those punches.
Ooops, looks lke I spoke too soon!!! atsch Friend, when a fighter nearly gets laid out by a guy with eight KOs in 28 fights, after he has faced NOTHING but light-hitting tomato cans, it's a pretty good bet he has a glass jaw. :nod The fat lady may not have sung on this one, but she's sure been warmed up! :yep
And I expect no retaliation from the Khan apologists, I don't even expect for them to give me any credit for sticking to my guns on this one for damn near a year a half! Oh how sweet.:thumbsup
Yes, you've argued with me several times. But you were always respectful and objective Brighton. At least it's exposed.:good
why is a fighter a joke for not having a McCall-Chuvalo chin? I have a lot of respect for fighters with obvious deficiencies who can still find ways to win.
Of course they know. He's probably been laid out cold in the gym MANY times. I'm like you, when I see matchmaking like that, I KNOW there's a REASON. It's like Taylor - why do people think he started fighting light-hitting guys coming up from lower weights as SOON as Hopkins rocked him. The handlers want to protect their meal tickets and put off the inevitable as long as possible. Problem is, when you have an over-hyped fighter with a glass jaw, sooner or later you HAVE to fight somebody. And when that happens, it's usually all over. See Fraudley for the classic case. Now Khan's pattern is fitting right in. :yep
