yo End of the day Tam Tam, Khan can only beat whats in front of him and except the slip up against Presscot, he has.... Also he has obviously improved under the guidance of Roach, by a million miles and can only get better. Salita was mandatory challenger! khan cant help that, no one has beat Salita that easily or ever before. Anyway, Khan can only improve on a very successful career he is having, and that knock out will open the door to big and exciting fights for him for the future. Plus Roach would not have him in his gym, if he felt he wasnt good enough to deliver world class perfomances like that..
Erm So what part of his performance's in his last 4 fights look like a failure??????? ermmm...... Won come back fight easily Beats an old legend, Something that Chad Dawson wont stop doing. Wins World title Defends it with perfect performance in mandatory defence Now wants to take on the worlds best:atu::atu::atu::atu::atu::atu:
yo Anyway dude im out, i hope Amir Khan keeps failing like that! cause that would be terrible,oooo :hammert:
:: You need a little 'get some' ..after your Puerto Rican boy was beaten by a jew,.....a jew Illuminati,.. that never happens,.. I know you may claim to hate Santos,.. but I know, through your personal way of thinking,.. that it had to hurt a bit,..it hurt,..:crafty:
He could do all that whilst balancing a unicyclist and a tangerine on his head and I won't GIVE A FUCK.
Beloved? I'd never even seen the guy fight before :: He is awful, I'm truly perplexed at how he was undefeated.
Khan will always blow out a few guys like this Judah-style, unfortunately doesn't tell us much about him we didn't know relative to a few years ago, in fact it did look near identical to the Earl blowout
Learn how to fight on the back foot, how to fight on the inside, some defense beyond covering up and just getting out of range and increase his IQ by about 15 points.
That's a good comparison. Obviously different fighters, but both are so quick that their speed can just immediately overwhelm some opponents. Judah could dispatch of bums better than guys who could beat him. No one could have done a better job vs Salita the other night...but ultimately that doesn't mean much. It was very similar to the Earl fight. Like i said, i don't think there is much disparity between a british domestic guy like Earl and Salita. I've just been hearing Johnny Nelson on the radio, saying how the WBA had Salita as no 1, so it means that Salita is the best non-champion out there.....who is he kidding? The IBO rankings have Salita, going into the fight, ranked number 46!....Well done Amir!
Don't know if anyone posted the video but here it is: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g34uGs6UzEg&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g34uGs6UzEg&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> PS- There's a "Haveeb" sighting after the fight is stopped. The 5'3" 240 lb. guy that jumps in the ring to congratulate Khan.
physical gifts = highlight reel showings against bums. Rounded skills & top class fundamentals = the ability to hang with great fighters.
Insane speed, only Manny is faster. I wish Naz would go away, his time is over, let Amir do his thing.
He's pretty fast, but nowhere along "insane". I like his style though, he always keep his hands high and uses well his legs. He got a pretty bright future if he takes care of his chin.
Outside of Manny there's not many I could definitively say are faster, Dirrell possibly, Floyd has a shout, but not many, that's for sure. Good shout on his defence though, has improved a hell of alot within the space of a year.
he actually doesn't have too much time for Warren, or at least didn't when i interviewed him some years ago. It might well be a Sky bias, but i just think some of these pundits are just suckers themselves for the hype. I don't think they really know boxing from a world standpoint.
Right on the money... On the recording of the pre-fight business I watched, I clearly heard Glen McCrory, who now sounds as if he is brain damaged, state baldly that Salita was 'a step up' and 'the biggest challenge of Khan's career'. What profound bollocks, as ANYONE who had seen Salita fight beforehand knew only too well. As I alluded to in my pre-fight preview, there had been legitimate concerns in some quarters that the fight was a potential mismatch. Concerns that turned out to be well-founded. In fact, Salita was CLEARLY a step down from Kotelnik, who has been a consistent, top-5 LW for the last five years or so. Either McCrory had never seen Salita fight (which would be shocking for a supposed 'expert' on the broadcast panel- I mean, even I watched a few of his fights on YouTube and did some other external research prior to writing about him!) or he was simply towing the SKY PPV line. Both are plausable explanations IMHO and both are completely inexcusable. It's not so bad when 'hardcore' fans hear this sort of thing, because most of us can see straight through the bullshit. But when casual fans hear this, it creates myths, illusions and eventual resentment when the 'step-up' fight ends in a minute or so or, as has happened of course to Amir, the guy compared by Barry McGuigan to Sugar Ray Leonard (!?!), the seemingly unbeateable fighter gets KTFO. MTF
I still don't understand how he was unbeaten. Were his opponents even worse than Chavez Junior's? Just how bad were they? Jr Chavez would thrash Salita too.
At present, Jr. Chavez is 2-3 weight divisions above Salita. By all accounts, Salita had one or two gifts against mediocre competition along the way - not much was expected of him, and thats how it played out.
