Froch says Khan is boring

[onourway]

Says that Khan fights from long range, tucks up after throwing,fights to not get knocked out and if he gets hit on the chin, he gets knocked out. Said the Kotelnik fight is one of the most boring he's ever seen and that Khan's style of fighting is the most boring to watch.

Agree or disagree?

[Aztec God]

Agree

But Khan is a superior athelte to Froch

[PrideOfWales]

Of the boring contributers to the Khan-Kotelnik fight.... In terms of boring percentages, Kotelnik contributed a lot more than Khan to that.

Here, here:good. Let's just remember that Khan is very much a work in progress at the moment. What does Froch want Khan to do, throw away the first half of fights and go for broke in the last two rounds:huh? Froch needs to calm the bad-mouthing down on other domestic fighters- it really turns the casuals off of him.

[Rangersfan1982]

I agree. He's nothing more than a boring hyped up no body.

I can see Froch saying something like this but I'd still llike too see a link from the OP.

[Aztec God]

I think he did say it cos Frank ****** slagged him off for saying it the other day in the SUN

ask Frank ****** himself if he happens to log on later - he goes under the name

WORLDS GREATEST

It can be found somewhere 'scenic':good.

He has a point!

[Claypole]

Khan was extremely boring to watch against Kotelnik, but he was very effective, (although not as effective as one of the judges thought).

The way he fought against Gairy St Claire was most un-entertaining, but showed us the only style that would realistically take Khan to any success.

Despite being a known Khan "hater" (not my choice of word), I was really impressed with the way he boxed against Kotelnik. If he carries on like it, I'll be even more impressed.

froch is an arrogant elusional cunt/bastard whatever you want to call him. He thinks just because he beat pascal and got very lucky against Taylor that he can go around talkin shit about other people. Arrogant cunt.

[TFFP]

We've already made our bed with the criticism he (rightly) got for losing to Prescott. We can't expect him to fight in an exciting way and WIN. 'Exciting' means taking chances, and exposing yourself. That is a sure fire way for Khan to lose.

[Dubstep]

I can see where Froch is coming from but it is a tad unfair. The style of fighting Khan adopted is pretty boring against a non-aggressive opponent. However, when deployed (successfully) against a guy who is really coming forward and throwing punches I think it looks exquisite.

For me, the best part of that fight was at the end of the 7th (could have been 8th or 9th) when Khan made Koltenik miss 5 times with body movement. That was exciting because it was very, very good. Carl Froch is just more obviously exciting.

For Carl Froch boxing is about bravery, aggression and basically being well 'ard. (See constant references to the word "warrior"). For Khan it now has to be about skill, strategy and technique. Clearly boxers, as well as fans, have their favourite styles.

[Only registered and activated users can see links] on. I watched the fight and found him boring. It's as simple as that.

[dan-b]

Froch seems so spend a lot of time talking about other fighters. I wonder what will happen when Abraham knocks him senseless.

[NO MAS]

I don't think that Froch would get bored counting Khan's bank balance against his???? :yep Could Froch put 20,000 into a respective arena on his doorstep??? :think

I like Froch, the Trent FM is a great venue to watch boxing, but if he says Khan in boring, why does he have to say this??? He was very fortunate in his last contest to grind out the result he did..... he should let his hands do the talking IMO...:yep

[Outboxer]

'Boring' is Harrison vs Williams 1. Froch would probably kill himself if he ever saw that.

Khan wasn't boring.

[Utter1]

Agree

But Khan is a superior athelte to Froch


hmmmmm

Luck = When prepapartion meets chance

Has two good wins better than Khan 2 best wins.

If Froch fought S. Mosley becuase he all of sudden decieded to move up a few weights.......would we not be slagging him off?

Surely thats what happend with Barrera situation.

And Kotlenik is for me a lessar fighter than Pascal

[Utter1]

At least Froch takes risks...........i believe the guy will deffo have a few losses on his record after the super six series.........but imagine Khan getting into a super six series with Mayweather, mosley, margarito,p.williams clottey, manny pacquaio, t. bradley, z. judah, etc

[TheChamp1000]

Does Froch do nothing but run his mouth about british fighters, he was a like a bad rash all over calzaghe begging for a payday now he wants to get some coverage talking shit about khan.

Yeah coebra (cross between sebastian coe and a bra. I refuse you the animal nickname) he should have left his weak chin out all day to make the fight more exiting for you, in your house in nottingham while you watch the ppv free online with alan rickman.

[bringitondown]

I don't think anyone can really blame Khan for being "boring". If he tries to make an exciting fight there's a very good chance he'll get knocked out, particularly against a good opponent. He may as well play it safe and go quite far in his boxing career and make a lot of money rather than try and be exciting and get knocked out about 25% of the time.

[Guy]

What the Fuck is Froch's point, he was close to getting beat in every round against Taylor and been a laughing stock over there.

Khan fought a smart fight and won the title, that is enough for now.

In future different tactics will come into play with renewed confidence.

Khan blew Fagan away with power and precision then outboxed the highly defensive Kotelnik who's never been stopped.He's doing well!!

[Boro chris]

Khan has developed a really boring style but quite understandably.
I won't blame him for it but I will find him dull.

[mak]

It's a sign of Amir Khan's standing that he is getting flak from other Pro's. If he was a mediocre fighter Froch wouldnt even offer an opinion oh him....if indeed Froch truley said those things

[zico2010]

I think its extremely harsh to dismiss Khan as a boring fighter on the evidence of one title fight, against a guy who is very cagey with a tight defense. If of course that is what Froch said. Im a fan of both fighters and they are both entertaining. Froch has been involved in the odd dull fight himself even though the last couple were exiting.

[BoxingFanNo1]

Have to agree with Froch here.
Should Khan stick to the tactics he employed vs Kotelnik I will be switching off. Based on that fight it looks like he's sacrificing power shots for tagging and i like my fighters to bang a bit.

But he's still evolving as a boxer so I'm willing to give him a chance.

[abzmanc]

According to 'Frankly Speaking' Froch said he never saw the fight, but his 'mates' said it was boring.

[duffman85]

Yes Froch's match with Taylor may have been more exciting for the viewers but from a boxers perspective he was 20 seconds away from losing a UD whereas Khan won more or less every round and easily won the match - I would rather win in the manner that Khan won than how Froch scraped his victory.

I think Froch has a lot of bottle entering the super 6 but I'm not sure if he's winning ANY of his matches - maybe he should be worrying more about what he's got himself into rather than talking about everyone else.

[Don't Damn Me]

Regardless of whether the fight was boring or not, the fuck has it got to do with Froch? What was he doing when he was 22?

Like the guy a lot as a fighter, but he seems unable to function without having a massive chip on his shoulder about something.

[Jeff Young]

froch is right, khan is boring, and likes to fight from range......as we know a heavy-hitter and technical pressure fighters will give khan hell...
