Amir Khan helps plot Ricky Hatton's downfall

[Asterix]

I think Khan is forgetting who he is for a minute here. Its all about Khan learning from Pacquiao, not the other way around! So Khan saying he will HELP Pacquiao beat Hatton is like another way of saying Manny will be learning from me in training camp on how to beat Ricky!

If Hatton beats Pacquiao, I wonder if Khan will be so eager to actually get in there with Ricky? Forget all the talk of helping others plot the downfall of another fighter. Get in there yourself & do it!

As I said above, Khan will be helping Pacquiao to sharpen his skills.

I think half the problem is that everyone likes Harrison, and we don't want to criticise him. But being nice and trying his best doesn't mean he should escape criticism.[/quote]


Thging i think your forgetting is Khan was and still is a big headed little shite and could'nt and would'nt be told what too do , I don't think for one minuite Harrison does'nt know basics and i don't think for one minuite he never told Khan where he was going wrong , what i do think is Khan would'nt listen , but after getting knocked out HE HAD TOO LISTEN OR THE GRAVY TRAIN STOPS.

aNOTHER THINGEVERY ONE COMMENTS ON HOW HE DOE'NT KEEP HIS HANDS AROUND HIS CHIN

The biggest problem he has /had is that when he throws a jab he drops jis right hand he throws a right he drops his left hand.

Watch the prescott fight again , his hands were high he threough a jab , he dropped his right when doing it and BANG .

Watch the Barrera fight his hands were high he through jabs AND STILL DROPPED HIS RIGHT , bARRERA WAS HALF BLIND AND COULD'NT GET THE DISTANCE RIGHT IF HE HAD ,,,,BANG..so basicly he has'nt improved much just learnt to hold when his opponent moved in and throw a couple with fast hands and jump back in a SRAIGHT LINE .

Against a bigger stronger boxer it won't matter jack shit because they will be able too use body pressure and force him back .He is flash and he's fast but against guys his own size at that level he don't have the two most important things you need , A CHIN and A punch.

I agree. It reminds me of Junior Witter. Everyone was talking about how improved he looked against Harris, but he was making the same mistakes he always had, and then he goes on to lose his next fight to a young, strong, fighter in his prime. I think Khan will get knocked out as soon as he steps up and fights another young guy in the top 20, as long as they can punch a little.

Not even that mate.
Come on mate, there are tons more fighters who are more "Confident" than him.

Compared to the Media hype and and air time Khan gets, Khan comes accross very quiet and keeps himself to himself.
I mean he says whatever it is other fighters say imo, Nothing new

Witter looked good because he was fighting a guy who was proven to have no chin and after the Bradley fight I'm now certain that Hatton would have beaten him but that doesn't excuse wicky for not fighting him

Khan and Pacquaio are in the same camp so it would be strange if they didn't spar.

To be honest I am getting fed up of hearing about them sparring. Khan boasts about giving him problems. I have seen some of the footage and the gloves are about 300 ounces and they are wearing Spartan type head gear so Khan's china chin is not exposed.

As for styles I don't see how sparring Khan would help in any way to be honest against Hatton.

[Autobarn]

I don't know. Perhaps Pac would spar him for speed and spar someone else for pressure. Or perhaps Khan has to mimic a pressure style in sparring, being that he's the bigger man, near light welter etc.
