Amir Khan

[Knightsworld]

Anyone else see his 75 second win.

The ruskie took 1 GOOD hit and that was that.

 

[Beach Hut]

Need to find better opposition to test this lad.

 

[Knightsworld]

His opponent look scared shitless.

Opponent ? he didn't land a single punch.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

When will Amir Khan get a tougher opponent? I say by the end of the year he will be the next champion in his division.

Beach Hut. 19160 examples of stating the obvious.

Well he swung his arms about for 30 seconds or so

Dont rush him bring him on wioth hand picked opponents. He is going to be good but needs looking after.

Accepted but 75 seconds will turn the fans against him.

He can do no better than beat what is put in front of him. Perhaps his management are under estimating his ability.

 

[Stumpy]

he is the best lightweight boxer around!

 

[Wardy]

They are right to bring him along slowly. Okay these fights are all one sided but it would be silly to stick him a 12 round match and have him struggle with stamina.

 

[Gully]

Can't say that I know much about boxing, in fact very little at all, but I can remember quite a few British boxers who easily beat opponents early in their careers, the likes of: Bruno, Harrison, Naseem and many others come to mind. As Wardy mentions, in a sort of way, we are great at building up the hype when it comes to young sportsmen and women, they are the next big thing, etc, etc, etc.

If you look at the press over the past few months, see how many column inches have been devoted to Khan, Murray and Walcott, all might be described loosely as precocious talents, however they all need nurturing and not drowning if they are to realise their individual potential. If any of them do reach their potential then we may have future winners of World title belts, Wimbledon and a footy World Cup respectively.

Khan is frightening. He has trained with the RN Boxing Squad, and some of the guys there are national standard - they say that they would never want to meet him in the ring. He is too quick, and the power that he gets into a punch is unbelievable, literally. From no "cock-back", he can drive people far heavier than him back across the ring. The Marines that sparred with him were taking it in turns because he was knocking them everywhere, and these guys are fit, hard, and have taken scalps from other top-rated boxers. Finding him opponents is hard because no-one that is climbing the ladder wants to get knocked over by him, and those at the top now that he is a career finisher. All he can get are people who will be happy with a large payday, or people who think that they can get one lucky punch in. And he is a much nicer bloke than Hamed!

Accepted but 75 seconds will turn the fans against him.

Remember Harrison?

Khan was edged out to the greatest amatur at the olympics in Anthens and beat him in the rematch. We already know he can destroy these nobodies.

 

[Gully]

Agreed about Amir Khan, he comes across as level headed, focussed and Bolton Wanderers daft. He will get his chance at a title eventually, those who see themselves as above him in the pecking order can't run forever.

He is not permitted to box more than 4 rounders at the moment because of his age.
