I stated in one of my previous posts to the fact that when Amir Khan fights good Mexican or Puertican boxers he will be given a boxing lesson. He has been given a lesson much before that.
There was a talk of him fighting likes of Juan Diaz; I bet he can't wait to fight him now.

He has lost the world belts earlier this year; but before his loss there were talks of Amir Khan fighting him.
This possibly may well happen at some stage; however if Amir Khan doesn't imrpove his defense than they will keep him away from Diaz as he is likely to get another battering from the 'Baby Bull'.

Black guy got strong punch.
Amir khan left him self open Like amature fights. Got caught with Left hook.
Even when he came back after count , If he had experience he wold have kept his hand up protecting his chin. But Amis again went amature scoring style.
I guess pro boxing is different than amature.

every once in a while i would google amir khan and see his progress. one day i google and was very sad to hear about his defeat and how he got defeated. he was becoming really popular in england and espn also ranked him 8th i believe. i still hope comes back strong from this defeat and do well in future
question is did he let his own hype get to hsi head and not prepare well enough, and with this schooling in boxing that he received is that a slippery slope for his career now or would he reinvent himself and become a better fighter

Trust me pal, the hype for Naz during the 90's was very well deserved. He was making alot of good boxers look pretty ridiculous.
I second that. Prince Naz was a good boxer. His unique entrance backed up by some good KO's and excellent post match interviews made it a complete package.

well deserved or not, it was over the top, overdone and done in a cheesy manner.
as far as how much he deserved it, his legacy can be debatable based ion qiuality of boxers he faced and how he did against them. was he a good boxer, no doubt about it, was he a great boxer..convince me

His hype was certainly well deserved. I dont quite know what you mean by overdone and cheesy unless you're talking about his entrances, which are a seperate matter.
I personally believe that Naz was a very good boxer, who never achieved his potential of being great. Its no secret that during the latter part of his career he got complacent and neglected his training. If he had worked on his defence a little more and taken his training more seriously who knows what more he could have achieved. Not that dominating your division and holding four major world titles is a small feat.

the entrances, the guest rap on records, and his major world titles, were they really world titles? u know what I mean.
We are saying the same thing basically, that he did not achieve what may have been possible, you attribute it to him being complacent later, and my point is that I dont know if it was because he was compalcant and if he was not he would have reached those possibilities, my point is that its an assumption and I dont know that comapred to the competition in other areas, that even if he had not gotten complacent he would have achieved more.
we dont know whether he had more talent and he just did not apply it, or whether he had reached the limit of his talent.
I am saying that we dont know if he was that great because we did not see that no matter what the reasons
his major world titles, were they really world titles? u know what I mean.
I dont know what you mean. Anyone who knows anything about boxing knows they really were world titles (WBC, WBO, IBF, IBO).
The IBO title is the only one thats not part of the big four and the only reason he didnt hold the WBA title was because the fighter who was holding that belt, prior to being beat by Naz, was stripped of it by the WBA because they didnt want it unified with the WBO belt. If they didnt do that he would have been the first fighter to hold all four major titles in his division.
Say want you want about him being overhyped, cheesy etc. but you cant knock his achievments. Unlike Amir Khan whos accomplished nothing in the pro game, Naz actually delivered the goods, and at the same age was already a word champ.
yeah maybe I am discounting his talent based on his lack of character, he was just so lame with his antics. I also can not really forget how arrogant he as about barrera and got beaten, although i congtinue to say abrrera fought dirty especially with the turnbuckle incident.
Naz had a god given talent, but he did not have the character to harness it fully being all occupied with the legend he had become in his own mind, so he had talent and results to back that up with, in amir's case it looks like the eaw talent is not there but he is picking pages from naz's playbook on image and attitude..and u know what such an attitude with nohting to back it does?

wait and see.
Totally agree with you on that, and its been my main gripe about Khan. Hes not been helped by everyone around him hyping him up as the next Ali. And i cant believe Sky Sports had the audacity to put him on PPV before he'd acheived anything.
If reports of him moving to America and training with Freddy Roach are true then this is an ideal oppurtunity for him to get back to learning the basics and isolating himself from bad influences. I still believe that if he can work hard on his defence and become a counter puncher who relies on his speed to get in and out then maybe he can win a world title. But he's going to have to prove himself on the British scene first.
