He's got the talent but I would be amazed if he can dominate these divisions (LWW/WW) at this time. Also have to say that his rematch with Kindelan was one of the most poorly judged amateur bouts I've seen (and that is saying something) because Kindelan won it handily in my eyes.
That Kindelan rematch was blatantly "Fixed" imo and was a mere launch pad for Amirs pro career.
Agree it's a strong division but the facts are Amir made Barrera look like nothing and
would have stopped him sooner or later regardless of that cut
Roach has got him bang on it and the difference was obvious to see (hands up high, in out style, fast feet etc...remind you of anyone?) and saprring with Pac is obviously going to pay off and to me it looks like it has already has.
Think he'll have fun with Kotelnik and get the strap but we'll have to see about some other bigger hitting fighters when the time comes.
Sad thing is it's only gonna take one Bomb bang on the jaw or temple and it's good night Khan again.
Shame really as he has every other tool in the box in abundance imo.
based on what? His massive punching power? Sorry Smash that is laughable.
He may have gone back to focusing on speed but as I said elsewhere, he doesn't have the chin or the punch of Pac so it's silly to think he is any kind of second coming to save British boxing now that Hatton has bit the dust at elite level.
agreed
I still just cannot get over the fact that people are ready to overlook 2 years of amir being knocked out by prescott knocked down by gomez and various other ordinary boxers just because he managed to outbox a hall of famer for 5rounds who is 13 years his junior and was cut to ribbons within 5minutes.
I see in khan amazing hand speed, good foot movement and the ability to counter both on the front and back foot. But those same old doubts about the guys chin and durability still remain more than ever and while roach can teach him to high heaven not to get hit as often as he did he cannot teach amir how to take a punch or improve the durability of his chin!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
