in only 4 fights at JrWW, Khan beat Kotelnik, Malignaggi, and Maidana very impressive. Khan is #1 at JrWW right now I'm not convinced Bradley or Alexander would beat Maidana. Both fights I would like to see
Well if thats your opinion, fine. Maidana is the biggest puncher at the weight, and he nailed Khan flush several times, had him out on his feet in the 10th and pressured him throughout, and Khan didn't go down. I find it unlikely Khan will face anyone as relentless, or anyone who commits to their every shot the same way Maidana does. I also doubt Khan will take risks like he did early on last night. One thing I can't stand is when someone says, "look I'm not a hater but the hype is unjustified!" Khan isn't over-hyped. He is hyped the same way every other fighter with a half-intelligent promoter is. For example, check out Alexander-Kotelnik. The hype for Alexander was unreal, and he got beaten in my eyes. Do I say he is over-hyped? No. He just looked bad against a good opponent. If you think Khan is over-hyped, ignore the hype threads, don't bother yourself with listening to his promoters, enjoy his fights and put an end to your crying.
he only became respectful and humble after he got knocked the **** out. his quotes before that were disgraceful.
again, he WAS overhyped, then he got KOd on his ppv debut in the first round, then he learned howo to fight
I completly agree! I dont think either of them could take his shots! bradley i would fancy over maidana but not alexander. If alexander was to fight the maidana from last night he would get knocked out! Khan is the best at 140 at the momment and if he can pull of a boxing display like he did against malignaggi with the power and chin from last night them bradley and alexander would get wooped! BIG TIME
Khan proved me wrong last night. I thought he would win but didnt think he would be able to take the shots he took last night. I dont think his punch resistance is that much better his just learnt to roll with the punches as much as possible. Still he took some great shots and kept fireing back so props the brother Amir. If anything more questions have come because of the fight as I expected Khan to win more easily and he got caught with a few too many punches considering Maidana didnt need to faint much to land on Khan. He defiantly should get more support from us in the UK. His a decent dude who seems modest enough and his on a mission to unify the division.
I don't think there's anything Khan can possibly do to win over his ******ed haters, unless someone invents a machine that can turn him into a black American.
It isnt the case with everyone but Khan being of Pakistani decent def has some people not likeing him.
I know, I was a hater back then and rejoiced when he got KTFO by Presscot but hes changed significantly as a fighter and his character. To hate him for what he was and not what he is now is not right. :-(
on esb?? everything man, black american fighters without question receive the most hatred on esb. i honestly dont see how people can dislike devon alexander and bradley, both are extremely humble fighters that let their fists do the talking and not their mouths. but for some odd reason they're getting alot of backlash
