love him or hate him, one thing that's undeniable, is the fact he took so many risks and did it the hard way. He's always exciting to watch. Hope he wins the world title again.

The saddest thing is that’s an actual FACT. Kell Brook best wins a close win against Shawn Porter and then beating Matthew Hatton and Frankie Gavin .. Khans best wins - Marcos Maidana who took Floyd to the distance twice , the great Zab Judah , Devon Alexander , Paul Mcloskey etc etc .. how Brook fans believe Brooks in the same league ASTOUNDS ME.

The only reason he lost to canalo is because canalo had at least a 20 pound weight advantage when he stepped in the ring , he was on juice , Khan is going to beat Crawford because Khan his the naturally bigger fighter and alot faster and hes british

[@sami2865]

I love Amir Khan ❤️🙏🙏

[@user-pn6sk9vb6n]

Thing with Khan is he is to wild at times and needs to keep his guard up, that would make him one of the best in history. Now if he did lot of neck work, he would have a better ability to stay on his feet as I feel his balance can be a little off at times. (though he is working on this) but he is so damn good technically and has excellent accuracy and hand speed with fantastic stamina to boot.
