Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Gives Blessing: Khan, Hunter a Good Match

[Sparked_26]

You are right

Khan however has no defense, he uses his pita patter flurries as a form of defense

While Khan will always be one punch away from a KO, doesnt necessarily mean he has to let that punch hit him flush

The fact is the kid has zero defense, he doesnt tuck his chin in, he doesnt know how to clinch and tie up opponents, he throws weak flurries and doesnt use his jab....Roach took away Khans jab and replaced it with Clazaghe type slapping

Khan could turn out to be a decent boxer, not elite, but enough to cause problems for most opponents, but he has been taught very little by Roach, the only thing that improved was his strength

I'd don't know if Khan can get rid of all the bad habits since he is older now, but if he can under Hunters guidance, he'll vastly improve.

I agree with that.

Khan's best punch is his jab. He took Paulie out with it because really he landed naff all else in that fight apart from his jab.

Khan is not intelligent enough to compensate for his own flaws and he is always one punch away from a KO. He should limit his own offense for one thing too many nothing flurries with his chin on a plate.

better train him to NEVER get hit ....One good shot and Khan will just go down bad again Who should khan fight next? i think just about everyone @ 147 can beat him bc of his chin. and what fights @ 140? he clearly gets rocked there as well. Maybe he fights Josesito next?-Morales?

Cant teach to have a better chin KHAN... Maybe your D will will be better, but just warning, next time you run your mouth that you wanna fight the likes of FMJ pls beat the likes of C class fighter like Peterson and Garcia... Thanks and have a nice day...

too much about khan wanting to be his trainer's no. 1 fighter...ward will always be hunter's priority and khan has to live with that.

anybody but roach. pacquiao needs to get out too

Pacquaio 1, is at the end of his career. Most fighters who have fought the fights he has are retired or way out of prime.

2, Pac is busy with businesses and Congress so most likely has no time to fly around to look for someone.

3, Roach may not be able to respond fast in the corner, but Pac can most likely know what by looking at Roach's face etc...

True, however Khan had a right to be upset with Ariza for Peterson 2 training because he left Khan for Chavez. Roach then left Khan for Pac during Garcia training.

When you get paid a % and you leave your fighter and assume he is number 3, then of course some will get upset. Most fighters want to be number 1 and have things revolve around them.

Put it this way what would be worse a car crashing into a parked car at 50 mph or two cars crashing into each other at 50 mph.

The shots that have knocked khan out are shots that would damage majority of fighters in his division if not KO them and khan makes this worse as he runs into them with his hands down and chin in the air he backs out from exchanges with his hands down and chin in the air and in a professional sport you are never going to get away with things like that these things can be taught though i am not saying he has an iron chin what i am saying is he has a half decent chin with no defense with properly taught defense khan has a big future if its continuously neglected he will continue to be knocked out even the best chin in the world won't take a full force undefended punch to it without serious repercussions would it ?

So, Erik Morales didn't get hit with the same type of shots that Khan did?

[Gino Ros]

On another note... so will Khan only be fighting in Oakland now?

[Boxing Sage]

That boy Amir Khan a real FOOL! Who does he think he is requesting Freddy drop Pacquiao for him? Always been an idiot, and as far as I'm concerned a finished fighter! You can't go through 2 devastating knockout loss in boxing and still climb back to the top of the game. It's never been done cos boxing is 50% mental and Amir's head is def screwed up! It's only a matter of time before his fickle chin gets checked again and he is permanently retired. Even Chavez Jr. got more promise than his sorry azz! Freddy should have told him to go *** himself! Seriously! Lmao!

[MamaHuevo]

its good for ward to give his blessing but doesnt change the fact he's a biatch for draining dawson and always fighting at home.. maybe with khan around ward will grow some balls

Ward didn't drain nobody Chad Dawson who is a big boy called out Ward and said he would go down in weight to fight him. Ward didn't make him do sh@it Stop your whining!!!!
