    Maybe so, but it is an issue he carries around sadly. I find him annoying and was really put off by him with his complaining. But I remember his bn interview a couple of years back and he came across really well.

    He likely a nice kid with too many yes men around. He does need his Twitter taken away though.

    Anyone who genuinely believes they belong at super elite class will always have trouble accepting a defeat against what is believed to be a lesser opponent.

    Khan is obviously not the sharpest tool in the box and all the commotion and hype that the whole Team Khan debacle brings to the table is easily going to seduce Khan into thinking hes genuine elite class ..

    How do team Khan justify a loss to Peterson when their fighter is apparently a elite fighter ? .... by making excuses thats how !

    The problem is ... how many excuses can one fighter stomach before he realises he aint as good as he thought ?

    I like watching Khan fights, but he really annoyed me with his attitude after the loss. I think he is delusional.

    I just want a good fight to watch (controversy aside, the 1st one was a very good watch) and may the better man win.

    I got 9/1 for a Prescott win on skybet, it was 100/1 on there for a first round knockout for Prescott.

    Peterson's style will always be very difficult for Khan and btw Peterson is world class.

    wow
     
  10. I don't think Lamont is world class personally, I like him but it's merely a bad styles matchup based on how Khan fought on that particular night, and his overall lack of adaptability.

    A fighter with Khan's athletic gifts should be able to out-manoevre him to a very wide decision/late stoppage, Hatton would have mullered him, for example.

    And I suppose that fight put to bed any suggestions that Khan would have a chance against Ricky..... those quick feet and well timed/placed body blows would see Amir cut in half within six rounds.

    Khan's lack of ring IQ will probably cost him again, and it'll keep costing him whenever he fights opponents that have a well drilled gameplan. Apply cautious, intelligent pressure and wing away at the body relentlessly once you've got in close.

    Khan we'll win the rematch i reckon . He took Peterson lightly, and paid the price for a **** game plan. I don't like Khan, but i respect his accomplishments so far.

    Its me just being a smart arse.

    "Would Khan loosing make you happy?"

    You "lose" a fight or "loose" an arrow

    That must be at the top of my most-hated errors in spelling or grammar. I had some dopey twat arguing with me for using "lose" instead of "loose". Sadly the sentence was: "The miscalculation caused them to lose the bid" or something.

    Sorry, pedant rant over.
