People always mock him but he’s probably the most exciting fighter in recent times, never dodged anyone, his fights are always great

[@jamielewis2601]

Bruce Wiedemann he’s a world level fighter😂

[@Abdullah_Chill]

Khan may or may not be an ok guy. But as a fighter, I lost interest in him after this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYa6aJqNnpmpkJI He's had speed but I don't rate him as a fighter. Fair play, he's made more money in it than me. Put it this way, I'd think twice about meeting Mike Tyson down an alley even now. Amir in his prime....I'd skip down there.

Canelo beat Khan with skill no necessarily his size. Yeah it could have factor into his power, but he was timing Khan and feinting him out of position. Canelo made adjustments. Canelo has that special ability to adjust on the whim that many fighters lack.

True. It was clear that canelo was starting to overwhelm Kahn and going for the body more and more. It was only matter of time before he got caught.

Longarms canelo is now campaigning at light heavyweight so he probably was 185 vs Khan makes sense because when I seen the fight canelo looked freakin huge like a monster compared to khan. Khan looked tiny against him

[@arbaabasif2653]

Khan will come in with the heart of a lion but then get caught in the 5th imo. His heart comes in front of his head, look every fight he lost this man was winning on the points.

[@frankwilliams5802]

Winning on points because he relies way to much on speed I don’t think it’s his heart I think he was just sooooo cocky because he knew he was faster and doesn’t fight smart cause he thinks his speed kills and goes for the KO when he has no power cause he only punches with his arms I love Amir khan he’s a great fighter but he needs to realize the formula to beating him is timing cause timing always beats speed and he needs to stop using his speed ALL THE TIME and try to learn how to set himself up to use the speed

[@ericbillion3731]

I have a lot of time for Amir, he always struck me as a good lad as well as a super-talented boxer. I don't completely buy into the weak chin thing, I just think he needs to tighten up his defence a little bit.
