Khan v Earl - The verbals have started!

Earl will be too easy to hit - Khan will beat him easily

 

I wonder what Warren would be saying of he promoted Thaxton and someone else promoted Earl and Khan?

 

This is a fight to decide the #2 Lightweight in Britain , if it actually was to decide the #1 Warren would of said it without adding 'despite what Jon Thaxton thinks' .

I have to agree with Dunky , maybe Earl at his best would of had some chance(because of styles I'd still favour Khan) but now he'll not only get beat but pretty easily .

Not taking anything away from Khan when he does win , but it'll only make him the second best Lightweight in Britain and still only proven at domestic level .

 

don't forget that jono is still mandatory for khans commonwealth title so i'm pretty sure they'll fight next year unless khan manages to get a world title shot first

 

one step at a time

despite the hype....isnt Khan still a novice pro?

 

Hi,

Newbie here!

I'm living and working in London here and i guess i shud tell u that i'm originally from the States.

From what i've seen of Khan he seems to be quite a talented and i've noticed that he does come with a lot of hype. But, honestly, i think this kid is something to be quite excited about here in England.

Maybe i'm showing my bias here a little, :smoke but i think if this guy was in the US with the raw talent that he has, he could more likely be a superstar pretty soon as he would have been signed up by the best people to mentor him. Then again i'm obviously not very familiar with the kind of mentoring that he's getting here.

Aahh, besides all that I think this guy's going to go very far because he has undeniable talent.

 

listen up newbie....Khan is an overrated joker with an egg chin, wait and see. I said the same about Fraudley when they were all saying he was something with his size and skills.

 

To be fair to Khan he is better than Audley and has accomplished more in his short career . But that chin is vulnerable and sooner rather than later someone will crack it(but not Earl) .

 

well as you know I totally respect your opinion and put much more weight on it than that of the supposed experts who go out of their way to come across as experts, but basically are full of hot air (I'll name them if prompted). I only have a pretty basic knowledge of the sport myself....but how has Khan accomplished more? Limond is the only decent guy Khan has faced...is he better p4p than the best wins on Fraudley's record?

 

All that undeniable talent (and he has plenty) won't mean a thing the next time he gets cracked on the chin.
All the cocky bravado, the ridiculous hype and the diet of hand fed opponents will come back to haunt him when he gets in the ring with a fighter who can "have it".

 

Well one thing is he has a Commonwealth title , Harrison lost his Commonwealth title challenge and then in a fight that would have lead to another Commonwealth title fight he lost again .

Now maybe you could make a case opponent wise that Audley has beaten better .

His best wins are Krence , Calloway , Hersia , Bonin , Davis , Wiggins and of course the big one Danny Williams .

Khan obviously doesn't have as numerous 'decent' wins as that , with Limond being his big win and Lawton , Komjathi and Medjadji being his next best wins .

Williams at his best(something we rarely see , Kali Meehan and Shawn Robinson spring to mind) is a better win that Limond . But that wasn't Williams at his best , that was Danny at a weeks notice and imo it showed .
So for me the Limond win is a much better one .

Out of the other fighters , Calloway is a capable Cruiserweight but at Heavyweight isn't up to much . Bonin probably isn't a bad fighter but he hasn't been in with enough decent fighters for us to see his level .

Audley comes ahead of Khan competition wise at the moment(well until Khan beats Earl) , but when I said KHan had accomplished more the Commonwealth title was only really what I was talking about .

Still interesting to compare the opponents of these Olympics 'stars' all the same though .

 

I dont think Khan has the reflexes or defensive ability to avoid taking at least one clean shot from Earl at some point during the bout, and by all accounts Earl has more than decent punch power, so why would Khans chin not crack when hit by Earl if it as fragile as you say?
