    Eh? Read it again. I said his style was not "obviously suited to the pro game". That means that certain amateurs look like their style is very in and out, straight, light scoring shots etc. Take someone like Billy Joe Saunders. First look at him as an amateur and you say his style IS suited to the pro game. He goes to the body, can fight inside and does things that wont score in the ams but will translate to the pro game well.

    Now someone like Khan or Frankie Gavin....their style did not OBVIOUSLY translate to the pro ranks, so it remained to be seen if they would adapt well to it. Both did in fairness but in Khan's case, some of the issues that were suggested by his amateur style have remained an issue. He cannot fight inside. At all. He throws almost everything down the pipe, meaning that even fast attacks can often be taken on the gloves.

    His style was not one that screamed "pro ranks" unlike a banger like Haye or an inside fighter like Hatton. But due to his attributes and some changes he has carved out a very successful pro career.

    If anything I was defending him, not criticising him.

    Honest question to Duranstylee. Are you autistic? If you are, I wont report you this time, because under your numerous accounts that have been banned, Hypester, Guns&Roses, HitandPunch and numerous others....you're posting has been total troll **** of random, meaingless posts over and over.

    This time, as soon as I saw three posts in a row from you, I knew who it was, but you seemed to actually be writing on topic and not just posting random Youtube videos like a complete spastic.

    So, I'm beginning to think that you're not a troll, but have bona fide problems with how to conduct yourself in anything approaching a social interaction or communication. If you do have something like aspergers, then I suppose we can work with you and cut you some slack.

    If not, then you're a complete ****ing loser who will be banned again soon, and have to register another account in the ongoing joke that is your life.

    :lol: I know mate, I shouldn't really give him the time of day. I just called him a ''**** son of a *****'' in Colombian and that post was still better than everyone he's ever made.

    Will he fight for ****stan as a professional?
    Will he have the same defensive skills and punch resistance as his brother?
