The Amir Khan Debate

I downloaded Campbell vs. Diaz today, and I can actually confirm he will beat the **** out of Khan on the inside

He ain't going anywhere either :yep

 

Gomez will stop Khan by the 5th round.

 

You guys are a joke, it is right and propper that Khan is held back from te world level until he has matured. Nothing wrong with the level Khan is fighting. for a 21 year old he is fighting at a very high standard.

 

Then Khan is a joke because on more than one occassion he has mentioned he is ready for world title shot and all the talk about breaking the record set by Naz.

 

Khan thinks he can beat anyone but there is no need to take unnecessary risks so early. Frank Warren is doing a great jog trying to keep Khan grounded.

 

Then Khan should keep his mouth shut and stop going on about world title shots till he is mature enough.

He does not help himself by making big claims then only fighting cans or fighters who are not natural at the weight.

 

Exactly, him and his followers can't have it both ways.

I can't wait till he gets sparked out when he steps up in class and I think it's a complete joke that he's worth so much money off winning a silver medal when there's other more worthy pros not earning anywhere near as much.

 

You shouldn't be able to get a title shot without proving that you are the best in your division in your own country.

Forget all this inter-alphabetty nonsense - if Khan never wins a world title what will people say of his career?

Former WBO Intercontinental champion Amir Khan was today arrested on suspicion of speeding, and is due to appear in court on......... blah blah

Where the likes of Jon Thaxton could appear on Sky Sports as summarisers, and the caption would come up saying British Champion 2006 - whenever

The thing that pisses people off is the hypocracy - fine if he is being held back, but don't start bleating on about title shots, saying you are above European level, then set up a fight with a bloke who got chinned in a 130lb British title challenge last year.

OK - Gomez will probably give him an examination the like of which he has never had, i.e. a guy who will mix it up and go toe-to-toe, but he won't correct the gammy jab or the fact that Amir looks totally lost when fighting inside. To progress as a fighter you need to be able to fight different ways against different kinds of opponents - not going in there with feather fisted, sluggish, upright operators as he has done.

 

Nail on the head.
