Nope
Hope this helps.
I'd still fancy him to beat him if and when they do get it on.
Frank will slow the pace down now though.
Hatton didn't fight for a British title until his 21st fight aged 22 so Amir has another 18 months or so yet before he needs to be stepping up if they feel he needs it.
He's certainly not unbeatble but he still managed to win and overcome adversity which is more than the majority manage first time they face it.
I think now he's got the Commonwealth title the public and ITV won't stand for anything but fast forward from now on and the likes of Earl and Murray are looming imo.
I think Earl would even take him.
Time will tell.
Thaxton will ko him ,Limond is'nt a puncher imaging if it was Thaxton hitting him clean on the chin he would be out for the count.
if the big girl Khan can't take the punches of the likes of powder puff Willy Limonds of this world what chance against Thaxton, if Thaxton loses then he must be getting a huge amount of money from Wank Warren to throw it.
There is a chance that Khan can stay out of the way for 12 rounds with out taking a big shot,but its a slim chance,he even slowed down when he was hit in the body.But he did show great heart to survive and come out and hurt Limond the next round.He will of learned alot from that.Quote:

Geez I can't believe how quick people are to jump off the bandwagon. Looks like it's just me and the horse left............ :-\

Khan just showed us how ovverated he is last night.
Earl yes, Thaxton Im going to have to be reconvinced.

Next up for Khan? 20 (5) He fits the bill.
Khan just showed us how ovverated he is last night.
Warren wont let him go near Thaxton, im with Bilbo people need to realise he was in there with Pro (Limond) who is very experienced and Kahn imo did well to come back, hes 21 years old and had 13 fights, he showed me alot of heart last night, i think Earl he wold toy with, Earl looks shot to me.
Kahn needs to be more disciplined, he is a great talent, he needs to keep learning and he will be fine imo.
You changed Smash not long ago you was saying Khan would take these fellas.Quote:

Sounds about right then ;D
Limond was fighting guys with losing records or boxers with just about winning records plus Limond had no power.Quote:

Kahn has the ability not to have his chin tested, he does leave that chin in range after firing his rapid shots, but he is still a 13 fight 21 year old novice, i think this gave him the world of good this sort of fight and i feel he will learn loads from it, bit similar to David Haye against Carl Thompson.
Difference is Thompson could bang even though he was old he still was tough and could bang and in that fight it was Hayes stamina that let him down when Khan comes up against hard hitter i think its curtains for Khan.Quote:

Im not writing Khan off just yet, he is 21 and fought 13 times!!! Limond was a seasoned vet who is in his prime, not the greatest fighter but he was a commenwealth champion.Quote:

It is possible to be criticle without being a hater, it doesnt have to be so black and white. Question marks have hung over Khans chin since day one, what happened last night is all the confirmation some people need. I'd hardly call that hating.
Thaxton should have what it takes to K.O Kahn . Limond was a superfeather moving up with no power . Thaxton is a light welter moving down who has power . He took Hatton 12 without going down so I dont see how Kahn will provide any problems and as soon as Thaxton lands Kahns chin will shatter .
Khan has a punchers chance i suppose but he will have to hide his chin and get on his bike, Thaxton's over the hill but still has a really good punch, Khan should go to the States and get some proper sparring and coaching, Manny Stewart is great with guys who are great punchers and have weak chins, like Khan, funny great punchers seam to have glass jaws.
i wouldnt call Kahn a great puncher to be honest, he just needs to work on his defence and he will be fine he has the abilty and speed to be a great defensive fighter.Quote:

Amir was hurt but he was pushed down make no mistake though he was hurt but i did say this fight was'nt as easy as most of you thought.But he showed grit and i think he can beat Thaxton.

We all want him to do well at the end of the day!
Khan was caught with not one, but four punches to put him down, so I don't know where this Limmond can't hit stuff is coming from. He does not have alot of power, but 4 head hits will send almost anyoneto the canvas. Khan was walking about with his chin up and that's what cost him.
TBH I'm glad he hit the canvas as it will open his eyes to how tough his chosen proffession is and will hopefully make him a better fighter.
I was just watching a youtube video and to me it seems the punches landed on his temple not on his jaw

As a khan fan the knockdown does concern me.
He needs to work on his defence and head movement.
I think he can take the title off Thaxton but not anytime soon!!
Yeah I remember the posting well. Amir is already world class and will clean up the domestic scene in months or soemthing like that.Quote:
