Amir Khan: Manny Pacquiao Can't Knock Me Down!

[ono]

Is this going to be one of those threads where the majority over-react to a complete non-story?

"I’m not being forced into this fight, I forced myself into this fight"

The quote above just seems really weird to me. If he forced himself into the fight, then surely that means he didn't really want to fight him? Which would in turn suggest that he was kind of forced into the fight.

It doesn't quite add up nor make complete sense.

[Gandalf]

Maybe he could have said, "I wasn't pushed into this fight, it was me that pushed for this fight". That would make more sense. Otherwise, I just find what he said a bit of a jumble.

He could say alot of things, and dismiss alot of things from what he say's, that would not make him look like a tit. To be fair to the lad, he aint no linguist, and his grasp of the english language aint the best either. What im bothered about is how he does once he's in the ring, as really thats all that matters

Perhaps that's my trouble. I am a linguist and I do read into words and the connotations they have. That is why I think Terry Nutkins is a Saddo's great and Amir Khan just confuses the hell out of me.

For sure, what happens in the ring is what matters. And to be fair to the lad, I am looking forward to seeing what happens with Maidana and also beyond. I'm not a fan of Khan's, but my harshness is dissipating a tad.

Ooooonly.. This fight has been in the pipes for two years. Most of the time, when you call yourself teh best, and there are 3 other champs in your division... Your ass is going to have to find someone to fight. And you can't just pick pitty-pat punchers!

You know what?? I have a new theory. Khan has been battered to death on the forums. I have each and everyone one of you to thank for forcing him into this great fight. A fight when we will see Khan firmly planted on the seat of his pants at least once or twice.

Thank you fellow saddoians!

It wouldn't be Saddo's if that didn't happen.

Reporter asks Khan about Maidana's power, Khan says he's not worried because he handles Pac's power sparring, everyone slates him. Same old same old.

Funny pics though

No one would slate the kid if he didn't utter things like, "I can beat Pacquiao in a fight," "I can end Mayweather's unbeaten streak," when really he has yet to beat a top 3 guy in any division he has fought. Concentrate on Maidana and then see if he can beat the winner of Bradley-Alexander.

There's nothing wrong with shit talking or confidence, but when you're still largely unproven and thinking you can take 2 of the best figthers of this era, then it becomes comedic.

You have to realise that those comments are highly likely to be in response to a question asked by a reporter...

He's hardly going to say 'Nah Mayweather would kill me', especially if he has designs about a Mayweather fight somewhere down the line.

Actually. Amir didn't do bad at all in this footage...

In fact, he owned Manny in that round.

I hear Buboy Fernandez saying "atras sa lubid".

Sounds to me they were training Manny to exchange while his back against the rope.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I don't hate Khan, if anything i'm a fan... But i just had to put this up!!!


What is it about his legs

Holyshit. With the headgear?

He kinda did the Zab chicken dance.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Haha, he did the same thing against Prescot when he got wobbled by a jab, his legs did a funny little trip-rhythm.. Like a little tap dance or something?!

Khan definitely has 'happy feet'

[YIDDLE]

khan has a glass jaw so he should not tempt fate

[Hornfinger]

Khan won't mind getting back in the ring with prescott then.
