    Dude, I have the Prescott fight bookmarked on my laptop. It cracks me up every single time. I'm no massive Khan fan. Not by any stretch. He's an absolutely clueless boxbot with a big heart and a ton of determination.

    and an absurdly poor chin

    I agree he's pretty brave once he actually gets hurt

    A fat Amir Khan would be the best fighter GGG ever faced by far

    I'd watch that. Pay for it no, but certainly watch it.

    P4P I'm not sure Khan beats Matthew Macklin.

    The attendance for Khan-Alexander was 7,768 which means the arena was half empty.

    I'm pretty sure Khan wouldn't lose to Chris Algieri.

    How do you guys think Khan would do against the FFH Provo?

    FFH Provo could probably KO him, though he is a clueless finisher

    Yeah, I mean if you look at those two fighters, FFH Provo SHOULD ko him without a doubt, but alas he is not a good finisher, and also he was outboxed fairly easily by that horrible yuppie. I wouldn't be surprised if Khan won in similar fashion.

    Ultimately though, I'd pick Provo too. He hits very hard and will be coming forwards trying to turn Khan into the baby deer for all 12 rounds.

    I dont think that Provodnikov is dynamic enough to ko Khan. He probably hurt him a few times, but since he's a terrible finisher, he probably would let Khan off the hook.

    In some circles, Khan is ONCE AGAIN starting to become overrated. It's mostly with the casual boxing fans, though.

    Again, Khan did what he had to do and looked pretty decent in doing it against a guy that was MADE TO ORDER for him. Smaller guy, shorter, with a shorter reach, with no power, and not having the ability or willingness to exploit Khan's lack of infighting and sloppy punching technique.

    Put Khan in there with a guy like Thurman, Matthyssee, and of course Garcia, and once again his flaws would be exposed... Doesn't mean he's garbage. But he's not pound 4 pound material either.

    The horrible yuppie was a good shot or two away from being stopped in the first round, to be fair... Khan is one of the easiest guys on earth ranked in the top 100 to hurt... FFH Provo's sloppy finishing may not matter

    On paper, Provo is a bad match up for him. But dare I say, Khan is fighting SMARTER (Can't believe I used that word to describe Khan:bangh: ) and he's not slugging and getting into exchanges so he could probably use his physical advantages to keep Provo at bay with his jab, height and reach.

    Don't see him surviving though against the likes of Thurman or Matthyssee.

    I don't think anybody overrates Khan. Most people knows that he is not a dominant fighter, since he has such a bad chin and a lot of technical flaws. Still, he'll be very hard to beat for anyone that don't great power, or who is not pressure fighter,

    Is his chin any worse than say, Thomas Hearns' back in the early-to-mid-1980s? Khan has been stopped twice: * clean KO by Breidis Prescott * 4th Rd TKO by Danny Garcia So what? His record throughout has been superior to that of Garcia, yet typical FB arseholes rate Garcia higher. :scratcher:

    Of course we rank him higher, he knocked Khan TFO, you fucking donut :lol:

    His win over Lucas is also more impressive than anything Khan has done.

    Why?
    Hearns got KO'd clean by Barlkey and Hagler amnd stopped late by Leonard.

    How does this, make Khan's stoppages any less?
    Because the former's opponents had belts?


    Don't be a living-in-the-past moron all your life you dumb prick.

    Hearns took shitloads of punishment from Ray Leonard before he fell ... Leonard would have gotten Con's sorry ass out of there inside 6 minutes, believe that

    khan wouldn't last a round with Hagler or Barkley... Don't be such a pretentious contrarian twat, you thick fucking wanker
