Kell Brook? Who has he fought? You say you do not like Khan because of his arrogance yet Brook a nobody at the top end of boxing also has that arrogance. Khan has been on a great run and is also getting better and has years left until he reaches his peak. Brook does not even deserve a fight with Khan yet until he fights anyone of note. Oh and why is Khan not a 'true British boxer'?
Khan is normally seen draped in a Union Jack but why shouldn't he be proud of his heritage, many American Mexican boxers fly two flags. Haye used to where a Cypriot flag, Calzaghe was known as the Italian Dragon. I'm a boxing fan, I am not that interested in what flag someone flies, I am interested in boxing, the skills of the fighter and the fights they have.
I think Prescott must have hit him harder than we first realised, he is so arrogant its unbelievable, I used to be a big Khan fan but the amount of rubbish he talked really turned me off the guy as a fan. I hope he does fight Mayweather just so he can see how below him he really is. The guy had trouble with Mclosky and was wobbled by Maidana numerous times and neither are the most gifted of boxers. He cant really call anyone a chicken seeing as he dodged Kevin Mitchell before and is now trying his best to avoid Kell Brook.
im thinking Amir kahn could be the best british boxer on the circuit ,hopefully the step up in weight will suit him.he will be more durable hopefully without loosing any of his hand speed .we all know he has the power to trouble anyone out there. as for the comparison with naseem hamed, imo kahn has made the step up to world class with out looking out of place where as hamed took such a beating off bererra he never really came back.
Why people are comparing Khan to Naseem is beyond me, Naseem was one of the greatest British Fighters ever and was arguably the most exciting to watch, Naseem lost one fight in which he did not prepare for, this was his biggest downfall and ruined his career but he could of easily been one of the pound-for-pound best fighters. His natural power as well as his reflexes meant he could take a guy out with one punch while dancing in the ring. Khan doesn't even come close to Naseem, people say Naseem took a beating against Barrera but he didn’t get knocked and at that time Barrera was number one along with Morales. Khan got knocked out by an known fighter in Prescott who has now been shown by other fighters to be very average. Say what you will about Naseem but he was one of the greatest British Fighters, Khan has done nothing so far to be compared to the likes of him.
Khan was young then and very naive. He also used the wrong tactics and tried to go toe to toe with Prescott. Also Khan was drained back then because he had to make the weight. He was never comfortable at Light Weight. He was moved up for a reason and now he is nearly ready for 147. So another jump in weight. Only goes to show how hard it must have been to make weight in the days of fighting the likes Prescott. If they fought now then Khan would box that guys ears off. He is so different now. The guy has speed,power,size,range and is ready to work with one of the best trainers around. Like I said before he still has years left until he hits his peak. At the age of 24 he has beaten the likes of Judah,Malignaggi and Kotelnik. He offered to fight the best in his current division only for that guy (Bradley) to bottle it. Khan has looked and fought the best at the 140 weight and is ready for another step up. The guy is moving up in both senses in the boxing world.
Judah and Malinaggi were washed up by then and lets be honest Kotelnik doesn’t have much power so he was a relatively easy stepping stone for Khan, granted Maidana is a very hard hitter and Khan did well against him, However Maidana is very one dimensional relaying solely on his power and pressuring opponents to win fights his technical ability is very poor yet he was able to hit Khan cleanly and rock him on several occasions and Khan was lucky not to have been stopped towards the end. Khan is moving up and he is one of Britain’s best fighter currently, but he has many weaknesses one of which is his arrogance. Brook might be arrogant but he hasn’t lost a fight and has real power in his hands. I honestly think if those two were to fight that Brook would be too much for him. Also in regards to the Naseem comparison, I think its ridicules to compare one of Britain’s greats to someone who is still hasn’t really achieved anything in comparison. Khan is still early in his career so time will tell how good he is, but if he’s calling the like’s of Mayweather a Chicken who is afraid of him then I think the boys delusional. Mayweather might be a horrible person but he is a fantastic boxer who has consistently fought the best opponents out their and beat them.
hello again boys ,not trying to rile anyone im new to the site but i dont see hamed as a great. he was a great prospect at one time and he was maybe the most entertaining fighter i can remember but i dont think he was great he could have been if he had come back after getting pretty badly beat up by berrera but he didnt he made the step up and got found out . kahn is alreay rated as the best light welterweinght on the palnet and although he comes across as arrogant some times, he is dedicated to the sport .he lost badly to prescott and has come back a much better defensive fighter with imo one of the best jabs in boxing. Hamed lost a bit of respect from me when he relinquished the WBC title because he would rather keep the WBO title.i dont know about you lads but i think he stayed with the WBO so he could pick easier fights
You pour hot water over who Khan has beat yet you big up Kell Brook and think he has too much for Khan. Like I said before, who the hell has he fought? Khan has fought at a much better level then he has. For me Khan beats Brook all day.
opinions vary kah would never get in the ring and do opponents like naseem did ,he may think hes naz but he never will be fact
Give Khan a break. He is undoubtedly a knobhead but to deny his talent is churlish. He'd have a scrap with anyone. He appears desperate to secure his legacy and would get involved in a tear up with anyone. That "Team Khan" are unprofessional simpletons is poor judgement on his part, but the further he moves away from that, the better.
Who has Khan fought that is so impressive in your eyes and why does he deserve a fight against Mayweather then?, I merely stated an obvious issue with the people he fought in that they were washed up which is a fact, I haven’t bigged up Brook at all, I merely stated his strong points and why I think he may win against Khan, that’s hardly bigging him up now is it. And as for why he should fight Khan the answer is simple, Brook is the best British fighter at that weight after Khan so it would be great for British Boxing if those two were to fight. Tell me why are you so convinced that Khan beats Brook just because he's fought better opponents? The calibre of a fighter isn’t solely determined by his opponents but rather by his performance in the ring, in this regard both fighter have performed well however Khan has been dropped a number of times including against the likes of Willie Limond who isn't known for his punching power, even Puali Malinagi who arguably has the least power of the well Known fighter managed to cause a lot of swelling and bruising under Khan's face. Brook on the other hand hasn't come close to being hurt let alone dropped in a fight. The only difficult fight I can remember Brook having was against Jennings who also fought the likes of Cotto and even then Brook was in command. You can rave about Khan as much as you want but the guy is a hypocrite, he spouts nonsense about Mayweather avoiding him while he does the same against the like of Brook. Once Khan steps up against the likes of tougher opposition then we will see how good he really is but as of right now i’m not going to consider him among the best simply due to the fact that there are so many good opponents in the weight division that he hasn’t fought and by all right is behind in the pecking order. I want to see Khan fight the likes of Marquez, Mosley or even someone like Cotto to really prove how good he is.
This, Prince Naz was a beast of a man who could drop opponents with his jab, He had all the talent in the world but ruined himself in the end, he undoubtedly would be up their with the likes of Mayweather and Pacquaio if he had just stayed focused and trained properly.
I'm not denying his talent as I believe he has great potential and it's there for all to see, his hand speed and combinations are phenomenal, however what i’m trying to highlight is that he is too arrogant considering that he hasn’t fought anyone that is anywhere near Mayweather’s ability and yet has the nerve to call Mayweather afraid of him, also he hasn’t fought at full welterweight yet he wants his first opponent to be Mayweather. Most fighters need a few fights to adjust to a new weight but he wants to go straight at Mayweather which quite frankly is a suicidal idea and could really damage his boxing career.
Anyone who calls anyone out in that way is just doing his job. They have to make those noises. Surely we can see past the ****e....even if it is Amir.
Yes I understand that this is part of the business and boxers have to talk them selves up in order to generate certain fights, however Amir is actually that arrogant, he has been shown in interviews to constantly talk rubbish and im afraid to say that this has increased greatly since he left to train in America, it seems to me that he has a bad crowed around him that have been manipulating him, and now he believes his own hype. This is a big issue when you are unproven on the big stage and have already come undone against an opponent who was unknown and has been proven to be very easily beatable. He could be one of the world best in a few years but boxing is all about timing in regards to fighting the right opponent and right now I don’t think Khan is ready to fight the likes of Mayweather.
Already told you about the weight problem and that goes to explain his problems with taking punches back then. Not to mention the fact he was a kid who did not know what to do when he got hit. Against the biggest puncher in his weight class he took a shot and was smart in the way he got out of it. That is what you call learning and growing. And this guy is 24 and will learn even more. Judah was the IBF champion and so Khan fought him and took that belt. We already know about Marcos Maidana. Khan wants the big fights and offered a fight against Bradley twice only for him to not accept. Also he even wanted JMM. Khan is talking about Floyd because he wants that fight. He wants to fight best before he is 26. Khan has more right to fight Floyd then Brook does fighting Khan. Amir is a 2 time champion in his weight class. Brook is not. Khan has seen the likes of Ortiz get a shot at Floyd and thinks he can get his chance. No problem in that. If Jennings is the best fighter you can come up with regarding who Brook's has fought then thats all you need to know. He has fought nobodies and he is a year older then Khan.
