Canelo failed two tests for ILLEGAL Peds. His "punishment" wasa ludicrous 6 month : ban" Which coincidentally gave him time to get his bum knee fixed hmmm???? Then followed a multi mil $$ title fight in which he was awarded a VERY controversial decision to steal the real champions titles
A mismatch which Khan took, if he didn’t get sparked out you would probably be claiming it’s not a real win coz he didn’t get Koed
speed. He outboxes most guys he fights with speed and can counter them well. Even Canelo had trouble with his speed, but he loses concentration in every fight. Mentally he could never be a great fighter.
Khan is a great offensive fighter. Under Freddie roach he was as dangerous as any fighter ever was. But he's chinny. So he dumped Freddie n got with Virgil...get some defensive skill to protect that glass, right? But he, along with hunters weird ass altered his style to be more protective of the glass n took away the very thing that made khan special in the first place. Rendering him offensively flaccid as well as chinny. Look, it's khans chin...above all others who get flack about weak whiskers khan is truly held back and kept from greatness by them. He has a genuine glass jaw. If not for that fact he coulda been great. Manny steward could've helped him. Think tommy hearns or wladamir klitchko. Under manny khan could've been great.
speed? i dont consider speed itself a skill. ryan garcia has better speed than 90% of boxers and hes not considered particularly skilled, just fast... like khan.
Khan is an excellent fighter but I think that he will lose to Crawford simply because Crawford is the better all around fighter,
Sad and embarrassing take the l,s like a man Fan boys are fanatics grown a55 men Lol So how many as Khan won fairly Remember some were cheated not defeated
Khan skilled? He is fast and he landed punches, has a good jab, but not a gameplan. But his speed is probably better than 99 percent of the fighters, and that is enough to do well. But he leaves his chin out there and gets hit and that is because defensively he is not great and has no real gameplan to stay away from the punches.
punching well AND tucking your chin in, is a skill. punching well while protecting yourself effectively, is a skill. khan has very fast hands, he is going to touch you up unless you can read his mind. luckily, he is so predictable that you may as well be able to read his mind. speed and skill are 2 different things.
I would still like to know if anyone has, before or since, seen a fight taken away from a man because he was TWICE docked points for pushing. I'm not interested if people think Khan pushed Peterson, he did, but to literally swing the judging against a fighter because of it is a remarkable robbery and it surprises me it isn't brought up more often due to it's almost unique nature.
Fact: Did you know, it was the first time in a world title fight a fighter had points deducted for pushing..
