After he got stopped by Brewster? He had 3 stoppage losses on his record,all against fighters who were far from spectacular. Anyone think that Khan can stage a Wlad like resurrection??
I think he should work towards one more big pay day and consider retirement; he's going to end up brain-damaged.
Wlad has a much higher ring IQ than Khan, he also had Manny Steward the biggest advantage, however, was always there: the size and reach advantage, Steward helped Wlad develope his safe but succesful style to the fullest, Khan does not have that much of a size or reach advantage vs anyone at 140, he also keeps making the same stupid mistakes in every fight, if he worked on his defense and weeded out his stupid habits of dropping his hands or trading when he gets tagged, then maybe he has a shot
Nope, i dont think so. Wlad made it this far because he found a guy like Manny Steward who tought him to take full advantage of his physical advantages. Khan doesnt have the Ring IQ, athleticism, Power, Size that Wlad has at HW.
Khan gets way too much attack on his flaws and not enough on his positives and legitimate accomplishments and performances that he's put in against quality fighters. But, as has been said, Klitschko is just a much smarter boxer, who also holds more advantages over most of his opponents, doesn't share the stage in his weight with any Mayweathers, Pacquiaos or Marquezes, or even Bradleys, frankly. And he was more technically skilled offensively and defensively than Khan, in most ways, even before he went on this long win streak. It's highly unlikely, though I won't say impossible. But he's starting with less, would have to contend with more, and he's never shown the mental ability in or out of the ring to give hope that he might pull off the extremely unlikely with this.
Okay I'll play. Wlad has high ring IQ and has serious power and needed Manny Stewart to program into him the techniques needed to utilize his skill set, and he had an exact template in Lennox Lewis to work from. Khan has a ring IQ of about 3, his power isn't impressive anymore, and this is the second reboot he's gone through and he still hasn't fixed the gigantic ****ing hole in his game being his weak as **** chin. Every time a guy lands solidly, he damn near falls over. He's done being top level.
Khan is easily the most hated guy on ESB. Gatti was mr excitement getting beat up and dropped coming back for wins (rightfully so) but khan is a bum who will never learn and should retire hypocritical douche bags
