Khan says he can beat Pacman

[Rebel-INS]

Just read it on the ESB page, what do you lot think of these comments?
I used to quite like Khan, but now I think he's an arrogant tosser. First of all, I reckon Pacman would ko him early and second, theres no way in hell ****** would risk his moneymaker against a puncher like Pacquiao especially seen as a light puncher like Limond nearly stopped Khan.
How do you reckon this fight would play out?

I reckon Pac would brutalize him.

An early KO loss would be a god-send to Amir in this fight.

[Beeston Brawler]

There would be broken glass all over the place

Khan wouldn't be able to live with Pac's speed and power. If he fancies Pac, a good tune up would be to get in with Katsidis - OK they are markedly different, but a puncher nonetheless.

[BIG WORM]

i think khan would beat pac.

u lot underate khan too much

You serious?

[Rebel-INS]

Also how can we underate Khan when he hasn't done anything yet? If anything you overrate him and underate Pacquiao.

[TFFP]

So what?

Why can't he believe he can beat a guy coming up from super feather? :?

[bored]

Give Khan a good trainer and maybe he can use his size to last a couple of rounds. Maybe in about 8 years Khan can beat Pacquiao

[Maza1987]

Were you expecting a backlash?

Khan is way way way bigger than pac and would stand a reasonable chance against him, depending on how he boxes.

But he needs to fight others first imo.

[Eubank]

I would pick Khan.

[toffeejack]

Pacman by decapitation.

I want wait for this cocky prick to get exposed. It surely won't happen but I'd love it if Gomez destroys him on Saturday night.

[dan-b]

Maybe Khan should actually go about fighting some world class opposition before he talks about beating the p4p number one.

[KCD]

If anyone is surprised how much of a tosser Khan has become lately, dont worry he always has been, its just that it is finally surfacing:yep

I thought he was a tosser from day 1 when he made an insensitive comment (after his first pro fight) about forgetting what had happened in London (with reference to the suicide bombings). What a fcking arsehole.

Fuck the jumped up arsewipe.

The arse is now taking swipes at Harrison

[Only registered and activated users can see links]



Amir Khan has launched an attack on his former trainer Oliver Harrison after learning he has been helping to prepare opponent Michael Gomez for their bout.
Khan defends his Commonwealth lightweight title on Saturday, his first fight since splitting with Harrison and joining Dean Powell.
"You lose respect for a coach when that happens because it is only two months since he split with me," said Khan. "Top coaches would never do that so it shows what kind of person he is." ...

"To have someone like Oliver telling Gomez tips is fine," he said. "I didn't learn anything from Oliver in the way of defence. There are things I'm working on with Dean now that I really should have done in my first five fights.



Arsehole Amir if giving tips to Gomez is fine then why you getting your reebok knickers in a twist.

The only Pacman he is beating is :

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

I hope Gomez catches him and sends him to cloud cuckoo land like Limmond did. It will be funny to see his dad, asif and co getting sweaty like they did when Limmond put him on his backside.

[King]

I doubt he could beat Ms Pacman.

[kurt2006]

I guess everyone has delusions of grandeur. Next he will tell us he could beat Haye at CW and capture the HW crown.

[robpalmer135]

When The Fuck Kurt Did He Make A Comment Kurt About Forgetting The London Bombings, I Seem Remember Him Going Out Of His Way To Mention It In The Post Fight Interview Even Without Even Been Prompted.

Dont Chat Shit! Also who wouldnt be annoyed if there former trainer giving tip to there next opponents. I personally think Harrison is taking the piss.

Manny Pac will have never been in with anyone as big, strong or big a puncher as Khan, you cant deny that. Khan will fight Campbell before teh year is out.

[kurt2006]

Dont Chat Shit!

I think you should stop chatting shit ! Review the post fight interview and then tell me who is chatting shit !

He made comments along the lines of forgetting about the July bombings. The remarks were insensitive to the families of the 52 killed and 700 injured ! If he did not know how to make a sympathetic statement he should have kept his big mouth shut.

[jc]

People are a product of teir surroundings, Khan is surrounded by people who kiss his arse coz they want something or kiss his arse coz they are on the payroll. Let him think he is top boy, but he has to work really hard to get his props off of us, we know how easy olympic darlings get it when they turn pro.

He must realise the jump in class from the shot Michael Gomezs to p4p stars like Manny Pac, he surely cant be that naive. ****** wont put his only ITV contracted boxer anywhere near the current champs, there isnt a weak link between them. His intentions were clear when Gavin Rees was blown off for the like of Michael Gomez.

[John18]

Manny Pac will have never been in with anyone as big, strong or big a puncher as Khan, you cant deny that. Khan will fight Campbell before teh year is out.

Khan is not ready for a Campbell or Pacman fight, be serious.

Are you telling me he is going to go from fighting Gomez to 2 top fighters?

Also, does anyone feel we have a gauge for how big a puncher Khan is?

[kurt2006]

Maybe he meant Bobby Pacquiao

[John18]

Maybe he meant Bobby Pacquiao

Bobby Pacquaio has been in with better opponents than Khan so even he might be out of Khans reach as a viable opponent:think

he has kncoked out 15 of 17 oppontents, that says to me big puncher. He stoped graham earl in 1 round. even if people say he was shot, he could still take a punch.

Go watch it Mr Dick instead of pretending you know what he said. Either you have watched it and know exactly what he said or you can carry on pretending and making excuses for Khan.He should have kept his big mouth shut instead of talking shit then if he did not mean it that way.

Some people say there are 2 exciting talents in British boxing. Khan and Haye.

Only difference is that Haye has balls and will fight anyone, Khan gives it the big talk but is shit scared of fighting the big boys. Look at the way he bricked his pants when baby bull walked on stage for the JC - Bhops weigh in.

[kurt2006]

You forgot to add that most those opponents were D level fighters.

Also rather than KO power the stoppages have been more about the quantity and speed of his punches.

15 out of 17 opponents doesn't say anything to me. at the level he has been at.

The Earl stoppage says more.

Just wondering if he faces someone who can deal with his speed, will he be able to truly hurt them? Time will tell.

I clearly remember the interview, and in a itv doco about khan they show it again, and hes says stuff about how we all need to get along. he was also 19 years old when the interview went out, and although what he said were his true feelings, you could tell he was uncomfortable discussing such a delicate matter. I think you will struggle to find anyone on this forum that remembers the interview clearly that agrees with you on this Kurt.

Its not khan thats ducking fighters, its ******. he does it with all even Calzaghe who its was clear to see was world class.

I have watched that weigh in severall times and thats absolute crap and totally in your imagination about Khan crapping himself. you just see and hear what your eyes and ears want mate and cut out the rest, your like the sun newspaper.

[Claypole]

He stoped graham earl in 1 round. even if people say he was shot, he could still take a punch.I think Earl's punch resistance was totally non existant, to be honest. He managed to absorb a huge amount of massive shots against Katsidis, and was still trying to fight back at the end.
The way he fell apart as soon as Khan laid a glove on him tells me he had no punch resistance left at all. I will happily give Khan credit for a good win (eg Limond), but against Earl he had nothing to beat at all.

[robpalmer135]

:patsch You think Khan hits harder then Barrera, Morales or Juan Manual Marquez??? Rob.... I have love for you but that is one of your best ones.

Barrera, Marquez, Morrales all Natural Featherweights. Khan could easialy fight at Welterweight maybe even Light Middle in the future. I would rather get hit by one of those 2 than Khan.

And OY PM about you know what, and the khan/harrison stuff.

OH it couldnt possibly have anything to do with the fact khans a big puncher!!!!

[robpalmer135]

Oh and if Khan really was a bottle job, he would have gone up to Light Welter and fought for a title there agaisnt there weak champions like Rees, Kotelnik and so on.

But instead he is staying at lightweight, probs the hottest division in the world right now with some major talent and no paper champions.

[Fat Joe]

Oh and if Khan really was a bottle job, he would have gone up to Light Welter and fought for a title there agaisnt there weak champions like Rees, Kotelnik and so on.

Kotelnik would beat him

[robpalmer135]

also delving into everything he has said and done since turning pro and twisting it into bad stuff, like this the interview and his driving. (my insurance is £3000 a year cos of 100,000 boy racers, not just Amir Khan)

theres a million and one things you could bring up about the guys in the opposite corner saturday, i could have written my disertation on the amount shit Michael Gomez has been accused of and actually that is worse than anyhting Khan has done.

[Claypole]

OH it couldnt possibly have anything to do with the fact khans a big puncher!!!!There is that possibility. However, Earl took massive shots from Romanov and survived ok, and took big shots from Steve Murray without batting an eyelid, as well as the pounding from Katsidis.
I'm certainly not saying Khan is feather fisted, but he has not actually scored a proper knockout yet. He relies on speed and quantity to get the job done, and that's at domestic level.
Unleashing flurries and hoping for his opponents to fold will not be enough at a higher level.

[robpalmer135]

he hit that fench guy that went 6 rounds with kevin mitchell once and knocked him out clean

[robpalmer135]

deleted

[John18]

Can't agree with saying Morales can't punch like Khan.

Just 2 simple facts. Khan hasn't KO'd anyone with a top level chin, even though he is (according to you) a welter or possible light middleweight fighting at lightweight.

Barrerra after fighting Morales said that Morales hit harder and more consistantly harder than Naz, who was a huge puncher according to most.

So to summarise/clarify my point, a world class puncher at SFW who moved to LW can out punch a LW who has not shown 1 punch KO power against any of his opponents.

[Smith]

Who said Khan could beat Kotelnik?

Kotelnik would do s seriosu job on Amir at this stage, best believe.


On a side note never have I wanted a British fighter to be knocked out more than Khan. HE WILL lose when he faces one of te belt holders,and the fringe men around the scene as well.

[Claypole]

he hit that fench guy that went 6 rounds with kevin mitchell once and knocked him out cleanI'm not convinced that confirms Khan as a big puncher. It was a good one punch finish, but he still beat the count, only to be saved by the ref.
I think Khan belives too much of his own hype regarding punching power. He gets handed hand picked opponents that boost his confidence, resulting in him thinking he is some kind of power puncher. The safety first way that he beat Gairy St Claire is closer to how he needs to box at the higher levels.

[The Exile]

Khans record on paper looks like he is a big puncher but in reality, how many of his hand picked opponents have been Ko'd cleanly?

A lot of his fights are ref stoppages, and like someone said previously are more to do with the speed, volume of punches and wearing guys down.

Im not saying he is feather fisted but he is certainly not a huge puncher in my humble opinion.

[robpalmer135]

only 5% if that of fights end with a clean KO. Tyson probs the biggest most devastationg puncher ever had may more stopages than clean KO. 30/14

[Claypole]

I suggest you watch it again instead of using recall to back yourself.

I do not read the Sun and besides I saw it on fight network who showed it live. Khan bricked it when baby bull came on stage.

[robpalmer135]

show me it again, i never said you read the sun, i said your like it as you twist words to mean what you want them to. HA you did it again.

I watched it on fight network, and watched it again after people said it, Khan defo did not brick it.

[dwilson]

Khan has gone to fight Gomez because he believes it is the best preparation he can possibly get before he faces Pacman.

[Beeston Brawler]

Khan hasn't KO'd anyone - they have all been TKO's. A few of those have been featherweights, a few lightweights and a light welterweight, but mainly super featherweights really.

To suggest that any of these guys put him in a decent position to beat Manny Pacquiao is a bit dull IMO. He hasn't even proved that he is the best lightweight in Britain yet, never mind Europe, and there are no fringe contenders on his record either.

Unless he does a Timothy Bradley and shocks everyone, I see Khan being KTFO by the first guy he faces with power to KO him, because, in my opinion, he is as wide open as Ricky Hatton, but without the beard or heart.

[Benjiabc]

i think khan would have a shot

[Beeston Brawler]

No chance mate!

[Beeston Brawler]

Baz Carey has had nearly 50 fights, and only got stopped three times. To be fair to Khan, it was only in his second fight as well!

[Benjiabc]

No chance mate!


admitedly khan would be big big underdog, but you and me both know he is very skilled, he has just punching speed and power so he must have a shot? even though personally no, i dont think hes ready yet

[treva1977]

pacman would make him look like a school boy.

[Ilesey]

There is having confidence in your own ability and wanting to aim high but Khan's arrogance is really starting to piss me off. I think the way he has treated Harrison is a disgrace and he seems to be mouthing off at any opportunity. I think he needs a reality check so, whilst I hope he wins tonight, I wish Gomez puts the frightners on him.

As things stand now, Pacman would muller him - easily.

[TheChamp1000]

I'm getting the popcorn out for this one.:yep

If its microwave popcorn, make sure its ready before the fight starts. :lol:

[John18]

I take it Rob couldn't make a case for Khan being a bigger puncher than Morales?

[warrior85]

pac would DESTROY this fuckin weak chinned hype job,wot a fuckin clown

[Broxi]

show me it again, i never said you read the sun, i said your like it as you twist words to mean what you want them to. HA you did it again.

Jarb4PBcvKM

[fletch2069]

It's a joke!! Watch him on youtube vs. Limond, he gets to the 8 count and takes a knee, and the referee stops counting and tells him to get up!! He should have been counted out!! A decent referee would have kept counting and Limond should have marked Khan's record!!

Let's see him fight some fighters with records agains top class fighters. If he want's Pacman, or Diaz or Campbell or whoever let's see him prove he's good enough, I personally think he's naturally too big for this weight class and he's fighting men who have come from lower classes than Lightweight such as Gomez, Super Featherweight!

He really should be around the Light Welter/Welterweight division

[DON1]

Khan needs to humble himself. Pacman would but him on a stretcher.

Khan has become an annoying twat, he needs to knuckle down and attempt to clean up the British division first. Calling out one of the worlds best after 17 fights. Idiot.

[Top Dog]

Feck me:lol: some of you guys think Khan will beat Pacman:lol: Get a grip, he would get pumped rotten, Pac would murder the glass chinned fanny

Do you think hes capable of cleaning up the British lightweight scene.Im having my doubts about him even managing that now after Gomez.Murray or Thaxton could well put him to sleep!

[ron u.k.]

i don't think there's anything wrong with him saying he'd beat pac,where have people been the last 100 years or so most fighters say such things?however i think he would be badly knocked out by the pacman.

[Max Molyneux]

The one fight I'd root for Khan In, but Pac Is too good at the moment for him.

Hell I want Hatton to smash Pac too.

[KCD]

Do people still think Khan can beat Pac after tonights performance by Pac??

Pac ko in 4 over Khan.

[antcull]

after seein Pacs mediocre performance i would have to say Khan KO Pac in 3.

On a serious note I see Pac KO Khan in 6 in a superb fight, I think Khan would give Pac trouble for those 6 rounds, but would take too much punishment

[D_XZ]

Khans reach advantage coupled with speed and accuracy might keep Pacman at bay for a round or two until Pac gets the measure of it, then Pac starts to slip by the fast but predictable longshots and Khan takes a beating for as long as the fight lasts.

[Olu G. Rotimi]

Feck me:lol: some of you guys think Khan will beat Pacman:lol: Get a grip, he would get pumped rotten, Pac would murder the glass chinned fanny


Top Dog you are so right brother. Putting Khan in with Pacman would be like leading a lamb to slaughter. Khan and his fans are delusional. I am not sure that Khan is the best lightweight in Britain. I mean he struggled with a Michael Gomez that has seen much better days. Hell based on last night performance and how strong and comfortable he was at 135 pounds I can envisage him doing Hatton at 140 pounds.

[trotter]

Hell based on last night performance and how strong and comfortable he was at 135 pounds I can envisage him doing Hatton at 140 pounds.

So can I, and I'm a big fan of Ricky. I see no reason why Hatton-Pacman would be anything but a competitive fight.

Pac weighed 147 too.

[John18]

At this moment in time, Pac KO2.

Maybe in a years time, assuming Khan matures (style wise) it could go for 6,7 before Pac winning by KO.

[John18]

So can I, and I'm a big fan of Ricky. I see no reason why Hatton-Pacman would be anything but a competitive fight.

Ricky was so open against Lazcano I'd fear for him against any good puncher. Hopefully he'd perform and take Pac out, but I'm no longer sure.

[Eubank]

Changed my mind. Pac looks even better at the higher weight but the good news for Khan is that it shows that Casamyor/Diaz/Campbell are nothing special.

[dan-b]

[dan-b]

Most people ranked these three at about level and Pac has shown that this level is shit.

I think you're confusing your Diaz's.

[Eubank]

Nate Campbell is even older than Casamoyor and has lost to very mediocre fighters and Juan Diaz lost to Campbell. Of corse they are not shit but this division was nothing spectacular until Pac stepped up.

[Betty Swollocks]

:patsch
right now Khan would get smashed by Casa, Campbell.......and he would get knocked out in NO TIME against Pac.

[D-MAC]

The feeling is that Campbell fought the fight of his life against Juan and even then it was close. Both are elite talents, depsite Nate's inconsistency over the years.

I think you need to see more of these guys and, in Campbell's case, look beyond the losses to what he does at his best.

With Juan Diaz, his one loss was close and until then he had taken apart fighters much more skilled than Khan. Julio Diaz would beat the living shit out of Khan and Juan made him quit on his stool.

Very true:good

With Pac, Marquez and Guzman moving up LW is arguably the best division in boxing at the moment (between it and WW, even with the retirement of PBF).

Khan may need to take it easy on the world title talk, because he would get the shit beat out of him by the majority of the top 10 at LW as of now.

I know that David Diaz has his limitations but, Jesus Christ, what a performance by Pac.

Manny struggles against slick boxer types (like Marquez); Amir Khan is not in this mould. True, Morales (who is not a slick boxer type) gave him trouble, but the Morales that beat Pac in the first fight is a legendary Mexican fighter; Khan isn't on that level.

[Broxi]

Amir Khan right now, couldn't stand with Campbell, Juan Diaz, Pacman, Casamayor and I doubt even David Diaz. Maybe he should consider Thaxton, Romanov & Katsidis first before he starts spoutin off about Pacquiao.

I doubt he'll even go there soon though.

[JonOli]

i think khan would beat pac.

Cross them two of the list as well.

FW wouldn't put Khan anywhere near them.

[faisal]

diaz is a very basic fighter hes strungled with journeyman and hes gotten lucky in fights like the KO of santa cruz a fight in which he was behind on all 3 cards, the fight on paper should be easy for khan

[Uppercut83]

This shit is hilarious Khan is an idiot.

Pac would beat him so bad he would never be the same, Pac KO 2.

[Claypole]

At the slow rate that Khan seems to be progressing, he will never be able to beat Manny Pac. There is a huge difference between their respective levels.

Khan is domestic level at the moment. Any high rankings by the governing bodies is based on potential, rather than achievement.

[rooq]

the best thing for ****** at the moment would be for pac to unify the lightweight belts and then move up to lww leaving 4 vacant belts.

can khan really beat a southpaw who is almost as fast, has ko power, a better chin, better defence and better footwork? naaaah.

[Top Dog]

Olu, my man, how are you getting on? Glad you agree, Khan would get mullered against Pac, hell even Diaz would kill him. I see Ajose is back on our screens soon, good stuff. Can Ajose not just squeeze half a stone off and go and KTFO of Khan for me:lol: He'd beat Khan in my opinion, someone who can punch and take a punch, and has a good tactical brain, sorted!

[Top Dog]

This shit is hilarious Khan is an idiot.

Pac would beat him so bad he would never be the same, Pac KO 2.

Man, we read from the same page!:good Some of these muppets need medial help if they think Khan would have a chance against Pacman. Pacman by decapitation inside 3 rounds.

[brown_bomber]

khan would get killed

[FLINT ISLAND]

Khan - I dont like him

He is conceited

He was a millionaire by age 20

Better pros than him have never had that golden path he walked from the olympics to ready made fame and fortune in the pros

He might go on and win multiple world titles and earn a £100,000,000

So what?

I wont be pleased for him

I hope he fails - dont like him - he is asking to be taught a lesson

He was a innocent 17 year old lad

But now his ego as swelled to the size of the moon

He knocked down and injured a guy playing the cocky youngster in his super mercedes car

He is young and talented but he has a glass chin - I honeslty believe that

Naz was way tougher - he could take a shot

But this Khan guy is getting knocked out as soon as he starts taking some real punshiment

I will be watching on with glee

You know you see some guys like Lennox Lewis and you know you seen a great fighter - or Roy Jones - or Evander Holyfield

But Khan I dont seem him as the same

I dont think he is the same real deal as those guys

Pacman would smash him - do you think Frank ****** would let his golden glass chinned goose in the ring with a fighter like him?

I would not hold my breath

Pac Man stopped Barrera - he fucking swarm all over Khan

Gomez also said Khan has no power

So he is fucked - thats the one thing that got Naz out of jail so much

Khan - I hope he loses - If Khan succeeds and proves me wrong I still would not be happy for him

He spent a £100,000 just to have a boxing glove drawn out at the bottom of his swimming pool - what a ego mad maniac

to think that better pros cannot afford to do that

Khan is flash with heart - when he is hurt he comes firing back - cos his ego is so big and intense he cannot lose - he is very prideful

So yeah lets be fair he is a good fighter

But he is certainly not a likeable person in my eyes

[dan-b]

Khan - I dont like him

He is conceited

Better pros than him have never had that golden path he walked from the olympics to ready made fame and fortune in the pros

He might go on and win multiple world titles and earn a £100,000,000

So what?

I wont be pleased for him

I hope he fails - dont like him - he is asking to be taught a lesson

He was a innocent 17 year old lad

But now his ego as swelled to the size of the moon

He knocked down and injured a guy playing the cocky youngster in his super mercedes car

He is young and talented but he has a glass chin - I honeslty believe that

Naz was way tougher - he could take a shot

But this Khan guy is getting knocked out as soon as he starts taking some real punshiment

I will be watching on with glee

You know you see some guys like Lennox Lewis and you know you seen a great fighter - or Roy Jones - or Evander Holyfield

But Khan I dont seem him as the same

I dont think he is the same real deal as those guys

Pacman would smash him - do you think Frank ****** would let his golden glass chinned goose in the ring with a fighter like him?

I would not hold my breath

Pac Man stopped Barrera - he fucking swarm all over Khan

Gomez also said Khan has no power

So he is fucked - thats the one thing that got Naz out of jail so much

Khan - I hope he loses - If Khan succeeds and proves me wrong I still would not be happy for him

He spent a £100,000 just to have a boxing glove drawn out at the bottom of his swimming pool - what a ego mad maniac

to think that better pros cannot afford to do that

Khan is flash with heart - when he is hurt he comes firing back - cos his ego is so big and intense he cannot lose - he is very prideful

So yeah lets be fair he is a good fighter

But he is certainly not a likeable person in my eyes

A pint of bitter for my man here.:lol:

[john b]

Khan would smash David Diaz.:good

No I meant with Pacman. I still see you are subjected to that avator bet, with TFFP, how long is that lasting for.

[dan-b]

No I meant with Pacman. I still see you are subjected to that avator bet, with TFFP, how long is that lasting for.

My point being that the fact Pacman battered the hapless David Diaz shouldn't be your sole reason for thinking he would do the same to Khan. I happen to think Khan would also hammer a limited fighter like Diaz.

The bet was actually with 196osh & it runs out on the 19th of this month. It was a 3 month bet.:-(

[Broxi]

I don't think he would. David Diaz is head and shoulders above Gomez and Khan was struggling at times with Gomez, he didn't seem to have the power to put him away.

Pacman just made Diaz look average but he's anything but. ****** should set up the fight if that's the case. After 18 fights, the guy has made a shitload of money while fighting no one who has shown us what he's capable of.

[dwilson]

Jeez you guys are all talking shit. :-(


I have searched for what Khan actually said and you have all gone off on the wrong meaning. :verysad



Khan said "I too fast for these guys, no one beats me at Pacman".

[nicofly]

A pint of bitter for my man here.:lol:

loving the quote on the avatar dan,

:rofl :rofl see what im gonna do when i buy it?? Im gonna stick some on 17" amir khans on it! :rofl :rofl pure gold that. might have to listen to it again on youtube. :rofl :rofl

[FLINT ISLAND]

Khan needs to humble himself. Pacman would but him on a stretcher.

Khan has become an annoying twat, he needs to knuckle down and attempt to clean up the British division first. Calling out one of the worlds best after 17 fights. Idiot.

spot on:good

Khan seriously needs to humble himself

he is just a prospect

Pac is a multiple weight World Champion pound for pounder who has beaten modern greats Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales

Khan's ego has grown in the last few years to a unlikeable level

Did you see what Khan said early on in his pro career after only a few fights?

He could beat world pound for pound NO 1 Floyd Mayweather over 4 rounds if they fought each other now!!!! - this was said when he was like 18/19 years old

what a big headed twat - even over 4 rounds I'm sure Floyd would have exposed his flaws and inexperience

[FLINT ISLAND]

thing is with Khan he has had the golden path

he has been treated special by Frank ******

and was a millionaire as soon as he turned pro

think of other good fighters like David Haye they never had it that easy

Khan's ego has been nurtured and accomadeted too

he is used to getting his own way and being the pampered star

cant wait til somebody spoils the script and puts some serious abuse on him in the ring

[Beeston Brawler]

You will only have to wait until he faces a genuine puncher at his weight, with the stamina to go 12 rounds, and it will happen.

Unless we get a repeat of the Sven Ottke years, where a guy can be DQ'd for punching his opponent in the face.

[dan-b]

Flint you just sound like a bitter hater. I've been there myself but the question you have to ask yourself is this. Would you turn down any of the things that have been offered to him? If you answer yes then you are a liar. Its little wonder its gone to his head a little with the money hes been making.

I do think hes talented & ambitious though & I think he will win a proper world title. If he doesn't then you can gloat & laugh & continue to spread your bitter rantings from the safety of your keyboard. Until then can you give it a rest because you're starting to seem a little obsessive?

most laughable moment in a boxing ring was when Robin Reid got stopped and warned for punching Sven Ottke fair and square in the face with a geniune shot - the ref warned him for a landing a shot!!!!

Khan will become a World Champion - ****** will see to it - some WBO/WBU/IBO/WBF/IBA title will become vacant at some stage at ****** will secure a vacant shot against a ordinary opponnet.

Wether Khan is able to beat the very best in the world??????????????

he is a good attacking fighting

but flawed and fragile

and come on guys admit it - I'm not usually a hater - I use to love Naz and stuff - but it would be nice to see Khan get knocked out - the big headed unlikable twat.

You make a intresting point. And No I would not turn down the nice things he has had. But the fact is it dosent make him very likeable.

Yes I agree it is bound to make a young lad big headed with all the money and success he has had - but what this makes is people resent you if you act and talk in a certain way. I am not the only one who says he dislikes Khan. But yes I am just going over the top because we are on a boxing chat room and I am just making topics to discuss.

But I dont hate Khan with a passion - I dont wish no misfortune on him or his family outside the ring - but I would like to see him get beat in the ring - not to laugh or gloat - but to see his reaction and how he responds to that.

He may well win a proper world title he may win multple world titles - but it dont mean I will be pleased from him.

I got nothing to gloat about Khan for anyway - even if he never wins another fight - he has still been rich and successful.

I'm only ranting over the keyboard cos this is a boxing website - when I switch of my computer thats it. I dont worry about Khan then - only when we discussing boxing.

If I was at a Amir Khan fight - I would not be shouting abuse at him from the crowd - or anything like that - but when he was in trouble against the likes of Willie Limond and Gomez I was willing the other guy to beat Khan.

I dont hate Khan - I just dont like him - I dont warm to him - and I'm not the only one

[dan-b]

Okay well I can empathise with what you're saying because I have kind of been there myself with Khan. The thing is, though, after the last fight I realised I was wanting to see him lose for the wrong reasons. Namely him being a bit of a prat & my dislike of ******.

I realised, however, these are not good enough reasons for me, as a boxing fan, to want to see a British fighter lose. I really do believe Khan is talented & ambitious & if he can give us some great nights fighting for proper world titles then I'm all for it.

[Raashid]

I wonder, would the fans who hate Khan for his cockiness and the easy ride he's had admire him if he lost but demonstrated tremendous heart in the process, say in the manner that Holyfield first got respect as a heavyweight when he was beaten by Riddick Bowe in their first fight?

[Raashid]

Holyfield had achieved a lot more than Khan. He got respect because he was an awesome cruiser, who stepped up to win the HW title, then fought an excellent HW in Bowe who was stylistically all-wrong for him.

Holyfield was winning that fight till he unwisely elected to trade with the bigger, harder-hitting Bowe. Khan wouldn't be in the same position: Manny would just knock the shit out of him from beginning till end. Amir has no advantage that Manny can't neutralise with:

superior timing
superior speed
superior punch slection
superior inside game
superior footwork
superior power

Khan would be like a pinata. Khan hasn't done anything to prove he can hang with Manny - this wouldn't even be competitive. I can't admire someone just for getting the shit kicked out of them.

Agreed, but I'm not suggesting Khan lasts the distance or even troubles the Pacman, more about if he demonstrates real fighter's heart, whether that would win him respect from boxing fans and pundits that he doesn't have at the moment. It wouldn't necessarily have to be against Pacman, say any other world class opponent.
Holyfield was heavily criticised for defending against Bert Cooper and the aged Holmes and Foreman, so his first heavyweight reign wasn't really respected.

He had just unified the cruiserweight division though, you seem to be forgetting that part. Personally I would respect Khan for taking on Pac but I actually he can go places so I'd rather see him knuckle down & wait for the right moment to fight for a legitimate world title. I personally dont think Pac will stay at 135 long so if Khan can pick up at least one of the three belts that would be a huge achievement for someone his age.

[Beeston Brawler]

It was by me!!

Erm.... back to topic.....

Khan would be battered - he doesn't have the skills to keep Pac off, neither with the jab or with footwork to get around the ring, and despite his fast hands and good combos he would just be walked down. The guys that give Pac most trouble are clever counter punchers (eg JMM) and your typical warrior (EM) - Khan is neither.

Bearing in mind the fact that Khan isn't exactly Oliver McCall in the chin department and Pac can seriously punch - not to mention their respective abilities on the inside, I see only one winner.

Khan has already shown heart in his fights

Holyfield is one of the most popular fighters ever because he is the opposite of Khan - a humble guy who has achieved alot.

THE REAL DEAL

I know Khan has got heart - but he is still not likeable

yours the intresting thing though - If I had met Khan when he was say a 16 year old boy I would have probaly found him ok.

but alot of success and money and fame has turned him into a big headed young man

alot of young lads his age 21 yrs old are big headed - and they are just regular guys

Khan is the same - but the difference is he is driving around in a top of the range mercedes and a few million quid in the bank - so it is obviousy gonna swell his head

[Beeston Brawler]

Good point Flux - better for a guy to have a real go and get taken out rather than running away to a wide UD loss.

The list of opponents is pretty good - though you could shift the top 20 and Romanov around, I rate him pretty highly but, each to their own.

I think there is a chance he could lose against each of those, for varying reasons, hopefully we will learn whether or not he is indeed the truth or just another Sports Network fighter being spoon fed.

[Beeston Brawler]

Romanov stopped Thaxton pretty impressively, though Thaxton does take a while to get going. I would still favour Romanov in any case.

It is a fight that apparently Romanov is up for, and why not?

Nothing better than knocking a jumped up little shit off his perch.

[ishy]

John Murray has just called out Khan, saying if they both win their next fights then they should get it on for the British and C/wealth titles. Murray claims that Khan isn't even the best LW in Lancashire yet.:lol:

[Beeston Brawler]

Khan would hammer Murray.

Not even worth bothering - Murray probably knows and is after a payday, because he won't earn a great deal boxing on Froch undercards.

[gutto]

Pac man makes Khan his bitch and then steals his dinner money :good

[FLINT ISLAND]

Khan has got a short career anyway

he wont have the hunger to stick around too long

he already rich

when he wins a world title if he wins a world title he will proably have a few defences

if he loses badly then dont be surprised to see him just fade away like Hamed

and live quietly away from the limelight with millions in the bank

[elle]

Khan would hammer Murray.

I know Murray hasn't looked too impressive in his last couple of bouts but I still think Khan v Murray could be a decent match up - especially IF Murray does become British Champ.

I'm growing tired of seeing Khan fight Super Featherweights or boxers who are not in their prime.

At least Murray is a young fellow unbeaten Lightweight prospect and is more of a pressure fighter who can punch and give/take a bit.

[treva1977]

sorry khan you lose this one .all pacman has to do is get close and it is all over.ko.

All he has to do his hit on the chin and its over because unlike other superfeatherweights manny as granite in both hands.

[ron u.k.]

Khan - I dont like him

[TheChamp1000]

Folks might not like Khan's but he does do some good,

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

He does do a lot for his local community and working with/to help people from poorer backgrounds.

[Future]

pac man would punish him so badley he might never fight again

[millingcove]

Khans comments about his erstwhile trainer Harrison are a bit rich especially since the poor geezer was apparently ditched via letter slipped under the door with no prior warning

I wonder who this could be.:think

[D-MAC]

pac man would punish him so badley he might never fight again

Nah, it would be a one-punch KO, and Khan would be able to come back, living in denial by defending some bogus title against a bunch of blown up SFW's who can't punch for shit, while all the while FW tells us the Pac defeat was just an abberation and could happen to anybody and that he has big things planned for Khan blah, blah, blah, blah, blah etc.

[scurlaruntings]

I wouldn't give Khan much of a chance beating a guy like Robbie Peden much less for Manny. Manny is a volume puncher and equally as fast as Khan. Khan just doesn't have the experience or fundamentals to beat a vet like Manny.

[Taffyy]

From getting shook up by a past it scrapper & then mentioning a potential p4p is just plain cheeky.......As it stands Pac puts him to sleep....!!!!

[John18]

I think the issue with Khan is that he is arrogant/comes across as arrogant but cannot back up that arrogance.

He can't claim to be world class when he is stepping in with the guys he is stepping in with.

I don't know if he can win me over now, regardless of what he does.

I think the same can be said about Alex Arthur here

Arthur is not arrogant like Khan but he has talked about himself in World class terms and I just dont see it - he is British / Commonwealth level fighter - Europeaen at most

But now he is a Paper World Champion

I think he would have been stopped by Guzman

Of course Arthur is well hyped up because he is Scotlands best fighter
but that is nothing when you are talking about the whole world

Khan is a typical big headed young man who thinks he is invincible

notice when he got floored against Gomez he had like a smirk that said "this is embrassing I'm too good to be floored by the likes of Michael Gomez"

evidently not Khan - you were floored because you are flawed with a shaky chin.

I don't know what it is Scurla, but the way you say things sometimes just cracks me up.:lol:

[John18]

Yeah, I can see where you are going with Arthur thing, but he has fought better opposition than Khan and was going to fight Guzman.

Also, he hasn't ran his mouth anywhere near the level that Khan has.

[scurlaruntings]

Also, he hasn't ran his mouth anywhere near the level that Khan has.Agreed. But both have shown similar deficiencies and both have had alot of smoke blown up there assholes. AA`s found his level thats for sure. The jury is still out on Khan. May be he can improve. That remains to be seen. Going by the way he looked against a shot fighter like Gomez my reservations arent too promising. Even Ricky Hatton knew how to eat up a club fighter..

[FLINT ISLAND]

O no - Arthur is nowhere near as bad as Khan

Khan is pushing 22 now and he is not ready for the worlds best - thats the majority of what people feel is my impression

but how much better is he going to get

I fear Frank ****** is just going to play it all safe

Khan will be a paper Champion with easy defences making lots of easy £££££££££

[John18]

Agreed.

[girv]

Khan just doesn't have the experience or fundamentals to beat a vet like Manny.

Exactly, he should concentrate on stepping up his level of opposition bit by bit. It will be a long time (if ever) before he can realistically talk about facing the likes of Pacman.

If they were to fight now Pacman would completly ruin him and effectively finish his career.

Frank ****** may be a lot of things but he certainly isnt stupid and would never consider that fight.

[achillesthegreat]

Khan would be eaten up by Pacman. He has nothing for that whirlwind. He's still learning to deal with domestic/European whirlwinds like Gomez let alone Pac, Diaz etc
