    Because he got hit as often as Angulo did tonight, right? Molina being ranked lower than Silva, correct?

    Because Molina has comparable power to Silva right? C'mon son that boy had no pop to make Khan respect him. Silva is a better fighter period. He just drew with Kamegai, tell me again what Molina has ever done.... Khan is also far quicker of hand, foot and reflex than Angulo. If Angulo had Khans speed they'd get hit just as much. Khan's ring IQ is ****ing embarrassing for someone with his natural gifts. Dude cannot think in the in the ring.

    Power has to do with IQ and ability to hit now?

    Judah, Kotelnik, Malignaggi, McCloskey, and Maidana did not all get beat just because Khan was fast. There are plenty of fast fighters on the planet, very few make it to the world class level. Is Khan a genius in the ring? Hell no, of course not. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have any skill. That's just a lazy ass comment thrown around by haters of one fighter or another who can't see shades of gray in a fighter's abilities.

    anyone that makes it to the world class level of boxing has skill obviously. in comparison to the elite he has a very low ring IQ. muther****ers take **** so seriously hahaha when people say molina can't punch do you think they mean that he is physically incapable of making a fist and hurling it forward?

    god forbid anyone tells this cat to break a leg before one of his am bouts.

    Garcia's comments on Khan:

    '"I finished him in four rounds and learnt a lot from that fight and have since become a better fighter," the Philadelphian said. "I grew up in that fight because Amir is definitely up there. He is world class. I knew Amir was going to be fast but I thought, 'How fast can he be? He is only a human being after all.' But boy was he fast. I was thinking, 'Who else was in the ring hitting me!'

    "I had to adapt quickly, because I am not the fastest starter in the world, but, as soon as I started landing punches, I knew I could beat him.

    "I don't think his defence is poor – he is reckless. He tries to throw too many punches at one time and that's why he gets hit. He just needs to be a little more cautious. He just can't go into the ring thinking that he can destroy everyone, just because he punches fast. But I don't want to say too much because I don't want him to prepare better."'

    Garcia has always been humble..

    only thing I don't like about him is his wierd rapping ways.

    Without his dad though would he have been able to achieve what he has? nope.

    Danny is a good dude and Im very impressed with his ability to break down his opponent, post fight without taking a shot at him.

    I agree with him 100%. Most of my posts on this topic mirror his exact perception about Khan. I would actually be pulling for Danny if he rematched Amir, however I wouldn't dcect Danny to hit lightning twice to score another KO win over Khan. I see Khan dominating in a rematch so Amir better make sure the money is right for Danny to agree to a rematch.
