i think sparring with manny is great for him
Khan is ok but need to be patient and pick at the right time.. The way i see it he is rushing sometimes.. he benefitted big time from that pac sparring to boost and bring back his confidence.
To be honest i think Khan has great skills as a boxer... his chin just lets him down and i can't see him progressing to the top level because of it.
shame really.
but saying all that, lewis overcame it so you never know ;)
You do realize the huge punches Lewis took? Wasn't he only down the two times he was ko'ed? I think Amir Khan is very gifted, but like someone else on here said, he really needs to relax and not jump in so much, you see that amateur pedigree playing against him.
I also think Khan is very gifted as a boxer and can make it to the top.. I just think the media rushed him a little too much, along with his dream of being the youngest british champion since naseem etc.. But I think the hype and pressure the media put on him was a major contributing factor.. I mean, Hatton only started getting reknown worldwide in his 30 fights area... Khan has had what, 19 fights? (correct me if i'm wrong).
I also think he was paired with a average coach, no offense to the guy, and now that he has a great coach such as freddie things will improve. The only bad thing I think is that freddie will always be more concerned with Manny's career, I know I would if I was him. But who knows.. I think Khan has a bright future, I just hope things such as the media don't fuck it up for him.
pacman is just toyin with amir if manny wanted 2 hurt him he cud EASILY knock him out at will. check the size difference ime amazed how easily he beat oscar and oscar has bin up 2 middleweight. i think pacman is goin 2 hurt hatton i dont want him 2 ide luv hatton 2 win put cant see it. its goin 2 be a war for a few rounds then get stopped on cuts i think ( hope ime wrong thoe). amir khan is over rated he has got amazing skills and speed but no chin atall ile be suprised if amir EVER get apropa world title like an WBC WBO IBF.
as far as I remember Lewis was only down the two time he was sparked yes - Briggs had him in trouble too didn't he I think but not sure he touched down ??
Khan does have the skills yes but the way he fights will always leave him open (unlike Lewis) and against the top guys they will do him every time as has been said
i could be wrong here but i seem to remember Lewis being knocked down in his prospect days against a no name .... don't know by who or if my memory is right?
anyone confirm this ?)
Don't know about this but I certainly wouldn't put Lennox's chin in the Khan category. Just watch thisQuote:

Khan will never be able to take the top mens shot's IMO. Lennox took some good ones.
i am amazed how people question Lewis chin.. he got caught twice in his career..
I guess the same way people question Roy Jones's chin.Quote:

Why do people question Lewis is chin it really wasnt that bad.He underestimated 2 fighters in McCall and Rahman and got ko'ed.His chin got tested against Briggs,Tua,Mercer and Klitchko and he never wwent down.
Anyway back on to the thread title it will bring Khan on training with the best in the world.If he can improve his defence and learn to deflect shots instread of taking them flush he can make it into world class not sure if he will be world champion tho.
