" Jorge Linares is the greatest fighter I have ever seen " - Emmanuel Steward

[La Cucaracha]

I had great hope for him , but he is like a smaller Khan. Great offense, average defence, bad chin

Khan is finished as a top fighter if he stays at welterweight. Linares has still got some hope.

dunno why you keep saying that, his only fight above 140 was against Diaz, who apart from an upset draw against Porter hasn't done shit above lightweight, Khan IMO is finished as a top fighter period doesn't matter where he goes, at 140 I doubt he'd beat Garcia in a rematch and even Matthysse would wreck him (no way in hell would his chin stand up to those punches), even a fight against Provodnikov or Alvarado is iffy, he could probably beat Rios if he boxed and ran most the fight but his chin wouldn't take a fight, there's a reason why he's not accepting the Mayweather challenge of fighting Broner and going in against Collazo now, and that's that I don't even rank Broner too highly, just the latest Berto

Disagree. I think Khan can still be a factor I thought he beat Peterson and was handling Garcia until he got caught I agree his chin will always be a factor but it makes his fights all the more exciting if Khan could box and stick to the fight plan I could also see him defeating Matthysse or Provodnikov, I'm not saying he would but he has the ability to win if he can stay out of harms way

As for fighting Broner, why should he fight on Floyd's undercard Mayweather f-cked him around and all that would doing is boosting Floyds PPV numbers. A signed guarantee that he'll get Floyd next would be the only way I'd do that

I said it time and time again, wtf has Khan done to earn a shot? Maidana is gonna lose but he has done a hell of a lot more than Khan, Mayweather doesn't need Khan to sell PPV's, his track record speaks for itself, if he can still manage to do a million buys against a usually boring guy in Guerrero he'll do just fine against an exciting guy like Maidana

Khan's false sense of entitlement is what gets to me, IMO he shouldn't have lost to Peterson, Garcia has only looked sharper since the win in a masterful performance against Matthysse and IMO his confidence has him on another level right now, I'm tired of hearing that Khan got screwed out of a fight against Mayweather cause he never deserved the fight in the first place

I never said Khan should get the shot and I agree Maidana is the more deserving of the two, but Mayweather did f-ck Khan around I also agree that Garcia has looked great since that fight but the only reason Khan is in the Mayweather conversation is because of Floyd fans were talking Martinez, Pac, Bradley, Garcia or Lara etc. The only reason Khan was in the discussion was because Floyd had him on his short list blame Floyd

Linares "The Chin" is always vulnerable

He has so many other traits to make up for his lack of durability..

And btw, I missed some posts on this thread and the linares-khan comparison is downright offensive. Lol

Yes, I guess we can vaguely compare the two but they really are nothing alike..

First of all, khan is offensively good only because he's blessed with speed.. his footwork is poor and he has bad balance as a result which is why he gets tagged so often by punches he shouldnt be getting with.. the type of shots he gets hit with are unnacceptable for an elite fighter.. khan is technically too flawed..

Linares on the other hand is on a whole different level in terms of technique and fundamentals.. technically, he's near flawless on both defense and offense.. offensively, he's on the level of marquez, finito, donald curry, and ray leonard. That's how exceptionally good he is.. khan is far from it..

Unfortunately, he's cursed with fragile skin so he's not capable of taking too many shots. He doesnt get hit often but when he does, it affects him more than others, but that's not his fault cuzhe was born that way..

I would compare linares more with the likes of Terry Norris and Jhonny Gonzalez.... not khan.. please..

Khan is like Gamboa..
