    I don't understand why people say Khan has a weak chin. He DOESN'T. Take a look at the Maidana fight. He took some wicked shots and stayed upright. His problem is he loses focus and gets hit with hard clean shots he doesn't see. ANYONE would be hurt so gtfoh with that lame argument. A person shouldn't be able to take those. About three pounds of pressure is all it takes.

  • @tsenkov
    @tsenkov 5 лет назад +2

    Notice Virgil didn't say (nor was he asked if) he supports taking the Crawford fight.
    I would love to see Khan being competitive in this match up and he may be for a couple of rounds, but I just don't see any way he can win this. Worse I can't see him finishing the 12th round - he is likely going to get knocked out. :(
    One thing Khan definitely deserves credit for - he doesn't break down after defeats. This is a huge asset. I would bet a guy like Spence for example would completely collapse psychologically if/when he gets beat.

    One of the best trainers of last few decades probably...many fighters may have had much more successful careers under someone like him, intelligent, philosophical and knowledgeable... I think Goosen was good for Khan as well though. Khan had a successful career but probably could have had much better with more discipline and more development of tactics and techniques rather than just relying on the blistering speed.

      Khan gets an unfair amount of stick from the boxing community. Everybody knows that Khan is a talented, gifted fighter. He knows not to build Khan up before a potential fall against an opponent like Crawford. If he had no confidence, he wouldn't be training Khan for this fight. It would be foolish to lack confidence in Khan anyway, he's got the ability. Bags of it.

    Respect to Virgil, enjoy listening to him but Amir Khan is a con artist. Amir Khan has promoted two fights we knew as fans he would clearly lose and made $11 Million dollars. $6 million dollar payday against Canelo and $5 million dollars against Terrence Crawford SMDH. What a fraud!

    Crawford fought and went 12 rounds with a disabled person

      Was he disabled before the fight? Let’s not forget presscott put him to sleep and bud fought him on two weeks notice and outclassed him.
