He won an Olympic silver medal at the age of 17 without Roach. His phycical tools are oustanding: P4P Speed, feet, stamina and he is very lean for his weight (a la Tommy Hearns). He got a suspect chin but he makes up for it by having a great heart. His jab is fantastic and Roach is learning him new stuff every training camp to become a complete fighter.
His skills havent been tested? He became world champion at the age of 22. Way sooner then the likes of Hatton and Calzaghe. He is fighting a top 10 140 ponder in Paulie Malignaggi away from his home at the age of 23. Way sooner then the likes of Hatton and Calzaghe.
Wait a minute....Didn't you just ****ing read that I asked you how are his skills great if they haven't even been tested? Oh great he just beat a bum for the WBA title at the age of 22 Oh he's so great.... His skills haven't even been tested yet. Of course his speed,footwork and stamina are going to look good fighting tomato cans. Are you serious about the P4P statement? He got his ass whooped against a bum in the FIRST round, No P4P skills would've been KOd in the first round. You're nothing but and Amir Khan nutt hugger.
Im not sure, the only thing holding himself back is obvoisly his chin hense why people think he wont go far. However if he can develop a decent defense i think he has alot of potential but time will only tell once he goes against a couple of punchers. Skillwise Khan has it all, the speed, the stamina, good footwork, and power. Well See..
He is going to have to improve his defense to be great, in order to take on the best....because the fact is, his chin is not good at all....
He has the technique, power, sped....to be a great p4p fighter...but the chin is something you NEED as a boxer....
If he can improve his defense to be very good against top fighter...i will expect him in the P4P rankings for sure
Thank you, At least this isn't as biased as Wazaas nutt hugging. Yes of course he's still young and with Roach teaching him the ropes maybe change can happen. But he's going to start fighting top JWW fighters now that he became WBA champion even though his skills are not that good right now. I really just think he's a hype job by the way they've been controlling his career...But I can't see him going far with that horrible chin he has.

Olympic silver medal at the age of 17 doesnt prove Amir has skills? Kotelnik a bum? I'm done with you.
He fights nothing like Ricky Hatton. A completely different fighter. The only reason you drew this parallel is presumably because they're both British...wtf?

Read my first post and that's the only reason i'm comparing. Both of them being british just made put their names together.

If you turn out to be right though it would be kind of interesting. Two British 140 pounders, and as soon as one's career ends, the other's begins, and they both end up being all hype.
Fighting and looking good against C or B class fighters, Then when the moment comes to step up and fight a top notch opponent after he establishes himself and his fan base ends up getting KTFO. Seriously, How many of you think Khan is a great fighter? This is my opinion i'm just trying to know what everybody else thinks.
lol clearly u don't know Boxing. A silver medalist, a world champion at the age of 22. A FAST AND SKILLFUL KID with a good Boxing brain is MUCH DIFFERENT THAN RICKY.
