im not khans biggest fan by any means! But his display against Malignaggi was impressive! He has speed he has accuracy, poise and looks very fit! His first real step up in class and he delivered! This wasnt a case of malignaggi being shot and not turning up. Khan never let him get any rythm at all! Im not saying he doesnt have a great chin, nor am i saying hes the best light welterweight in the world. But this should at least SHUT all the pointless haters up who criticize khan for the DUMMEST things! He might be a dickk and if u dont like his personality thats fine and understandable. But give credit where credit is due. a Little respect Please. He totally outclassed Malignaggi (who i think is a very very good fighter at 140) Coz the Khan hating these last few weeks has been pathetic! Again, is this coz of the rivalry between UK fighters and US ones?
Khan has always been amazingly talented, and in terms of boxing prowess, has been well.... textbook. All that being said, until he fights an elite fighter that can bang, the question will always remain whether or not he can take a punch. Haters never said Khan wasn't skilled, or couldn't out box anybody, it's that when he fights a quality puncher if he has the mettle to take the shots, take the punishment, and get the win. case closed. Great talent though.
Kahn still didn't show me much tonight, imagine if he fought someone who had power...All in All ..Theyre going to hand pick his fighters.
sorry but i am not impressed. pauli is a CHERRY picked opponent which was set up to make amir look good from the VERY start. alexander bradley madana WOOPS him as if he was a bum.
He gave a solid post fight interview. Really hope he and his team stay true to his word and fight Maidana
I wonder if Paulie still thinks Amir and his team is on the PED campaign? Kahn picked him apart, good gameplan by Roach.
That was a massacre man, damn. I picked Malignaggi because Khan has never impressed me. Well I'll eat my crow here I was completely wrong. Khan kicked his ass, he's clearly the goods.... All props go to Amir.
I wasn't overly impressed. I don't think he'll go into a fight with Bradley or Alexander as a favorite based on that performance.
It was workmanlike rather than an inspiring performance. I thought he would have gone for it a bit more knowing Paulie has zero punching power.
:deal He didn't look too good for the first 3 but he got better, still a lot to improve on but I don't fancy his chances against Bradley, not just yet.
I don't hate Khan and nobody in America hates Khan. Most of us don't know who he is. Goodness man it was only PAUL MALIGNAGGI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're making it sound like he beat an elite fighter. When he fights real fighters including guys who can punch a little bit and people still complain, then you can say they are haters. Until then please stop. Just because people don't kiss his ass, doesn't mean people hate him. I can remember people saying British fans hated him, but for some reason that all changed after he won his belt. Funny how that changed so quick.
I can see Madana and Bradley giving Khan a good fight, but Alexander? Based on what one fight? He's far from proven. Based on this fight Amir is top three in this weight class. Deal.
