Thread: Khan undefeated at 147...

Yeah khan beat a guy out of his prime...

Yeah khan has a suspect chin..

But he has speed and is an excellant boxer..

Shame khan cant fight 3 times this year before the the floyd fight in may..

Khan doesnt need a guerrero for his next fight he needs a thurman or garcia and he needs to win well..

Do you want khan to do well?
Should he avenge his defeats?
Is this his ideal weight?
Can his speed and footwork beat mayweather?

I don't think Khan has a suspect chin; those shots from maidana didn't knock him out, he just gets (or used to get) hit flush a lot but that's just bad habits.

I really thought Collazo was going to blast him because of that. I don't think Thurman would be a good idea yet...

Would he give Floyd problems with his speed? Floyd's got timing to make that irrelevant. He'd surely last longer (12rds) against Floyd than against Thurman.

I think both Thurman and Garcia would destroy Khan.

You mean, Khan is yet to be knocked out at 147.

Khan is awesome. He was rocking Pacman in sparring a few years back.

With or without A Side Meth?

I think Khan can avenge his defeat against Garcia, he had the fight won last time and he appears stronger at this weight and may do better than Garcia at welter.

I think there's two parts to having a solid chin: there's the actual literal, physical part where your body can only absorb so much force before the lights go off or you get rocked.

Then there's the mental and heart part, where if a guy is rocked or stunned by a big punch, he has the determination to get through it and not look for a soft spot to land, and also the heart to get back in there and fight on.

Khan has the mental/heart part, but I think the physical part is lacking. You either have a chin or you don't. The reality of Khan is that he's not the kind of guy who should be engaging in fire fights, he should be using his speed to be as elusive as possible.

Amir Con.

Khan's issue is this diet thing with regard to his religion.... you can't be a fully renown professional fighter if you can't get proper nutrition- or else you get knocked out. Give the man a steak and some potatoes and forget you are Muslim for about 3 years in your life. Praying to Allah isn't helping you to win fights.... being healthy, strong and durable will. Allah would understand.

he got KTFO in the 4th so how the fuck did he have the fight won when it hadn't even hit the half way point, Khan picked up a good win on Saturday but people are seriously overreacting acting like if he beat an actual p4p guy, lets remember that he Collazo has been horridly inactive the past few years, his biggest win since has been against Ortiz who's now 1-3, in his last 4 fights, hardly impressive, Khan needs to fight someone like Porter next, then people can say he's a real threat if he manages to pull off the win

Khan was winning the fight and was almost certainly going to stop Garcia. He made a mistake and lost the fight.

I think Khan gives Floyd trouble because of his speed, but Floyd will win the fight by coming on late. I think Khan beats Garcia in the rematch. He took the guy lightly, fought a dumb fight n was caught. He boxes to a decision or late stoppage in the rematch. Garcia is vulnerable. He looked good against Matthysse, but Lucas had fallen in love with his punch and fought a one dimensional fight. Garcia is game, has good skills n heart, but he doesn't have the athleticism to beat Khan if Khan fights a smart fight.

Maybe Khan could win a few rounds, but Floyd would start timing him.

Oh, and Garcia beat Khan because Garcia has good timing, and timing beats speed. He was timing Khan throughout the fight.

No way Khan, or anyone, could have recovered from that shot. Khan looked for that- as he kept on pouring it on and not pacing himself. Khan's last fight with Collazo showed that he can pace himself and let the action come to him and present itself.... good for Khan!
