Why I am not fully sold on Amir Khan

[Fenster]

Khan has become another Brit media darling and HBO seems to be all over this clown's sack as well. To me Khan is just another 'good' but overhyped fighter.

Khan is currently ranked no.1 by the Ring. He's beaten 5 of their top ten ranked fighters. Three of which are still top ten ranked.

There's no HYPE about Khan. He's clearly proven himself to be a world-class fighter.

The P4P no.6 is currently rated SECOND to Khan in his own division.

Yes, Fenster, your overhyped boy is all that and a bag of fish & chips, just ask Ring, the Brit media and HBO.

If you disagree with the worlds boxing "experts" you should present a case. Why is Khan not a proven world-class fighter?

He has two belts at 140. He has beaten 5 top ten ranked fighters at 140. He is willing to fight anyone. He has shown tremendous courage to comeback from a potential career ending horrific loss.

These are the attributes that The Ring magazine, HBO and the rest of the worlds boxing "experts" appreciate.

Even your man Marblehead rates Khan NO.1 at 140. What's the problem? How can he possibly be "overhyped" if he's already established himself as the BEST/joint best fighter in the division?

I didn't say he wasn't "world class", most boxers who own a world title are considered "world class", I take that shit with a grain of salt.
I'm saying Khan is over hyped because he is, and I can make a case for it, but i'm sure it would fly right over your head Fenster. The key word here is overhyped. As for Ring magazine, HBO and the rest of the worlds boxing "experts" appreciating Khan, does that mean I have to?

Of course you don't have to agree with anyone. However, it's a fact that MOST "experts" rate Khan very highly. They don't think he's just "hype."

So make your case?

A Case for Khan being overhyped? The short of it is, based on what he's actually managed to accomplish in his short career, including getting crushed by Prescott, I fail to see anything extra special there. And as for his #1 ranking, based on what? Getting your ass kicked, and almost being stopped by Maidana, and then beating up on a washed-up chump like Zab Judah? I don't know what the "world's experts" are seeing in this overhyped clown, but it ain't the same thing i'm seeing.

I hope this helps.

I must've missed him getting his ass kicked by maidana. The fight I saw, Khan won quite comprehensively He came through some tough stages and was almost out on his feet, but surely coming through that and still winning the fight clearly must be worth some credit. Winning through adversity is a big plus in my book.

He aint the finished article and I have only recently started to appreciate him, but he deffo aint overhyped imo.

Maybe because he is British, Muslim, young, rich, good looking, tall which one of those are you lacking? I hate him too but he is beating everyone and Bradley is no where to be seen, coincidence?

The only ones i'm not lacking are good looking and tall.

No, you're wrong H despite the fact that Khan clearly won 7-9 rounds, dropped Maidana & took his best shots to come back with his own, he actually got battered to fuck. The judges obviously were rewarding all that ring generalship, effective aggression, defense & clean punching stuff. The fools.

I think it is kinda dumb to rank Khan over Bradley when he did not even beat him yet kinda makes me wonder about the ring rating. I mean i really do not get how he moved over him with out beating him.
