Almost everyone but some of the diehard Brit fans on this forum believe Khan is a chump. But Khan is simply using clever strategy to lure his opponents into a false sense of security as seen in his fight with Danny Garcia below.

Amir Khan is more dangerous then ever!
Thoughts?
just wait for him to win prizefighter then his danger levels will be beyond anything which has ever been seen
I think he would beat Garcia in a rematch and Peterson. He's a much better boxer then both. I hate the prick but he is a class fighter. He takes dangerous fights too which is more then you can say for a lot of fighters nowadays.
Must be Hell trying to be a slugger with a chin made of day old soup crackers.
All that video showed was a fighter with amazing heart and bollocks. Listen to the comms. I'm more than happy to be in a "minority" with the late great Manny Steward that DID NOT consider Khan a chump. Thanks.
Broken glass is always dangerous

His focus and defence needs work. It's puzzling to watch him, he'll be doing great and all of a sudden he will be out of position or leave his chin hanging out there, like a switch went off.
I think he could snag another belt if he will stick to the plan stay focused.
Amir khan is chinny, agreed.
Freddie Roach tried to change his style to stay away from big punchers during fights, but Amir wants to engage, and credit to him for it.
He is also much more skilled than any of the fighters that have beaten him, but again he likes to engage is brawls.
If he could control his natural urges to fight and just box smart he could be much better.
However, he is still a good draw for promoters to have.
^^all that and I actually don't really like him too much. But you can't argue with facts.
Amazing heart and bollocks? Looked more like a drunken sailor who was petrified and trying desperately to avoid getting KTFO. As for Manny Steward, no disrespect, but due to dementia during the last 5 years of his life, his analysis and commentary had totally deteriorated along with his health.Quote:

He has a glass jaw, but he's still a very good boxer

Its just a natural tendency and instinct IMOQuote:

Its not that he doesn't think ... its that he thinks he is something that he is not ... he thinks he's a banger who can trade but his chin won't allow that
That's what i'm talking about! Great post, now that Amir has everyone taking him lightly, he comes back and lowers the boom on everyone @140. An absolutely brilliant strategy. ;DQuote:

Not insult intended in that.
Just a personal observation, Manny sounded like a blithering idiot at times in his last few years on HBO. For example Steward might say Khan is a great fighter, with tons of heart, who just fought one of the best fights of his career. Huh? But Manny, he fought a dumb fight and just got his ass handed to him, WTF?Quote:

In addition to being, desperate and petrified, he's also wasn't too smart, no hate, just stating the facts as I see them. Khan was supposed to be one of the next big things in boxing, but he hasn't come close to succeeding at it.
