    Wha? Based on what?

    Khan, the superior Boxer, has been drawn or forced into trading with EVERY opponent he has faced. His "scientific" approach to elude the pressure brought by Peterson was to square up and push. Even after repeated warnings. His solution to Judah bending at the waist was to fall on Judah's back repeatedly with no feinting and making no adjustments. Standing with Prescott and Garcia got him sparked! This guy is NOT an intelligent Boxer! He is a Puncher!

    What Khan are you guys watching? Does he have a brother or cousin that Boxes? :huh :lol:

    Khan choosing to trade with every opponent he faces is the reason he gets KTFO.

    While he chose to remain composed and use his superior reach, speed and workrate he has outboxed EVERY opponent he has faced. (Prescott fight never lasted long)

    He has a brother who boxes, Haroon Khan, but why you bring his brother into a conversation regarding Adrien Broner vs Amir Khan?

    I can not think of a reason to talk about Haroon Khan here, why you want to talk about Haroon Khan here?

    Khan is terribly flawed but still rangy (Despite his ill use of it) and incredible quick with great volume. I'm taking Khan due to styles at this point.

    That's actually a perfect way to put it. He's not terribly bright or too keen in there is he.

    Khan has trouble on the inside, Broner can fight on the inside. Khan's chin doesn't like hard flush shots, Broner brings those.

    Broner is not tested at 140.

    I'm going with Broner, but surely wouldn't be 100% confident in my pick without seeing him at 140.

    He's still a relatively static fighter and it's the most relevant fight to point to.

    Khan is rangy for about 2 rounds.

    Floyd would humiliate Khan in about 2-3 rounds.

    Anyway, why wouldn't you want to see the fight?

    Why?
    Don't you think Broner will be even better at 140?

    I think that if this fight ever happens, Broner wins. But as of right now if the fight was at 140 Khan takes it.

    I agree. I am just not sure what makes you feel comfortable saying he will be someone who he has never been during this analysis.

    Which fight did he do that? What was the level of skill of the opponent? Every single opponent with ANY ring IQ he has been stuck in wars. Hell he has been drawn into wars that are not in his best interest with crude guys.

    It was a bit of a joke. You must be evaluating a different Khan. No way you can draw the conclusions you have drawn off of the Amir we both watch.

    At the end of the day, I respect your opinion. I just think you are making some serious speculative leaps to make Khan the winner of this fight.

    Hold on. You wouldn't want to see Floyd fight Khan because you think he'd cause him some problems?
