    Got knocked the fuck out by a nobody. Khan can take his olympic shit and chew on it. Has HBO ever gotten it more wrong? Than to think that Khan could possibly have any appeal in the U.S.? HBO needs to know, if Khan wins, it's because his opposition is shit. If he loses, it's because he sucks. And the reality is, he sucks.

    Yes. Ok. Let him do something other than duck punchers and prove otherwise. For example, why in the fuck hasn't Khan been matched up with Ortiz? Why in the fuck hasn't Ortiz called him out?

    The reality is, Khan can barely make 140, but has no shot at 147.

    Khan would fucking demolish Ortiz, he made that boy quit on his fucking stool after two rounds as an amateur.

    Khan can fight, anyone that says he can't does not know jack shit about boxing.

    Does he have a great chin catching one from a pure puncher? Probably not, but a lot of champions didn't, including Thomas Hearns and Curtis Cokes, but both are in the Hall of Fame.

    It remains to be seen if Amir can ever get there, but to say he can't fight is just idiotic.

    You and I are in total agreement.

    Khan is trash. I dont' think he could beat either Bradley or Alexander. And I still think that Maidana has a chance to KO his ass. Mayweather and Pacquiao both sodomize him.

    I personally can't stand the cocky little shit.

    "Has HBO ever gotten it more wrong?"

    ....you serious?

    I don't know where i am with Khan....he's undoubtedly improved, but to what degree?....his opponents of late have been cherry picked - there's some questions yet to be addressed since Prescott (!) brought his world crashing down. Hopefully we'll find out the answers soon.

    :giggle: Just a year ago they were hyping/building up Angulo, Ortiz, and the fat mexican heavyweight can't remember his name at this moment....and they all loss soon afterward...

    he's a gimmick fighter for sure. he's got a rotten promoter. and he's half as good as he thinks, whether his promoter's to blame for it or not.

    Amir was helping the people of Pakistan with their flooding. Apparently their country is nearly as leaky as his defense.

    He has undeniable talent.....just a questionable chin and he thinks he is already the shit, when he hasn't really proved much as of yet.

    To say that he isn't verry good is a bit presumptuous.

    Alexander is so fucking awesome he gets schooled by Khans leftovers. Yet Khan is trash? GTFOH

    Of course Mayweather and Pacquiao would beat him, just like they would pretty much every other boxer in the world. No shame in that. I haven't seen anyone on here saying he could beat either of them. What is your point?

    HBO are fucking idiots. Or is that is fucking idiots? I don't know I'm an idiot myself at times.

    Anyway, my point is HBO needs to decide if they want to be corrupt or straight shooters. If you're going to be corrupt you can't get mad when Khan matches up with a guy like Maidiana and then gets laid out like some freshly cleaned linen. You have to protect the guy, you have to do it for a long time and consistently, and that goes for all your future stars.

    Get a clue HBO, shrewd matchmaking and protecting your overrated fighters are the keys to maximizing your dollars. You'd better act fast too, because it's not like a lot of these talented front runners are just dropping out of the sky.

    I bet the guys who run sports like the NBA and NFL shake their heads when the look at how HBO runs boxing.
