Khan "i come to his back yard thats the type of fighter i am.......

Dissapointed with Khans comments after the fight though I knew he would make them

With his comments lately he's becoming the sort of fighter you are glad to see lose

 

He's still the best skilled young LWW/WW on the planet......and that you can defend until he's retired.:deal

 

So basicly Khan calls himself a "backyard fighter" :yep

 

he should really take his ass back to england. runnin his mouth hes not a great fighter. cant wait til he gets hattoned

 

yeah he came to Petersons backyard to put a cowardly Sven Ottke memorial performance on, thats the type of fighter that he is. Running, holding, pushing, throwing pitty pat punches. looking at the referee after he calls a break then intentionally sucker punching Peterson only to complain about the point deduction and blaming the referee for his loss and his cowardly performance like the referee should have protected him from Petersons inside work No surrpise he has ppl like crybaby Haye and quitter fraud Hopkins around him, surely they vibe with him

 

atsch
Come one man!
Atheletically gifted yes, but skilled? hell no. **** footwork, no inside game. poor punch technique, no head movement, a porous gaurd and poor ring IQ?
Lamont displayed better skills the other night and several other young prospects are easily more skilled and better schooled. Khan is at the top because of his physical gifts not his boxing skills. He needs to get the skills to make the most of his potential

 

There are a lot of people who rely solely on their athletic ability because they lack the boxing technique. Athletic ability is a proven world beating feat and though it might not make for much longevity in a career, it does win fights (all be them not 100% domineering). I thought he won the Peterson fight but I'm not going to complain too much with the decision (though I do think the ref made some bad calls).

What you have to remember also is the level of opposition when assessing a fighters technical ability. Early in his career, Khan's lack of technical ability would have been masked due to the fact his quick combos would invariably land at a much higher percentage. It's only when one steps up to a world class level that their flaws may be revealed and that one has to rely upon their strengths in order to see them through the fight (in the case of Khan, athletic ability).

You have to remember, not everybody is Floyd Mayweather. Not everyone can execute pin point accurate, super fast counter punches and barely eat a punch all fight. You'd be hard presssed to not reveal flaws in any fighter (with perhaps the only exception being Floyd). One not being as naturally gifted as Floyd isn't a grounds for criticism.

Not having a go at you or owt, just throwing my opinion out there chief.

 

:deal +1 Athletic yes Skilled hell no

 

To be fair,what exactly did people expect him to say after the fight?

Every time I see a close fight, the losing fighter complains afterwards. Especially if the ref had anythuing to do with it.

Anyone remember Paulie Malignaggi saying he had been "bent over and ****ed" by the officials in Texas after the Diaz fight.

Dont remember much hate for him. If anything most people on this forum agreed with him

 

because his fight with diaz in Texas wasnt a close fight thats why alot of people agreed with him on this forum

 

Cote would knock both of those guys out.
