Amir Khan more dangerous then ever!

[IamInuit]

True enough and another quality post.Losing a fight or 2 or 5 was not the end of a career. Perhaps whats lacking here is poverty. All 3 of the guys mentioned came out of squalor. Khan seems to come from a privileged back ground was put on a pedestal like Harrison and was probably and early millionaire. Celebrity trainers don't help either. Btw I'm no fan of Khan but if he could get his head on straight instead of surrounding himself with yes men and go back to the grind he could change things around. If I were him I'd go find me a trainer in East Philly or something who has trained for 50 years and nobody knows his name. I'd cancel his twitter and fb accounts and not allow the cameras into his camps. Complete and utter re-dedication to his craft.

How many times have we heard this? Just get a new trainer, box more and work on defense, find a new location, beat up some 'cans or get some better sparring partners to rebuild your confidence, et al.
You can put lipstick on a pig and put a dress on it, and it's still a fucking pig. Khan is what he is, an over-hyped, solid boxer, who isn't good enough to take it to the elite level, his chin will always betray him.

I'm not talking about musical chairs with celebrity trainers whose student/teacher ratio is about as good as a university tutorial. I'm talking an environmental change which includes an Eddie Futch like trainer still working at some gym in some inner city eating pork and beans out of a can. A complete refit. I also know that such is not going to happen and he will most likely be an ink blot on a historical database listing title holders.

I'm not a fan of Khan but am fast becoming one just because of the way he is being crucified. Again go have a look at Benny Leonards first 25 fights. Talk about chinless. I actually think that the chin thing overall in boxing is extremely overplayed. I also think fighters today are to easily dismissed.
