![]() ![]() Virgil did a little better in that regard, but he soon started to revert back to old habits. It was always said that he and Roach split because Freddy had lost all confidence that he could work these flaws out of Khan's game. It made for some spectacular, shadow-realm knockouts that's for sure. Adding his speed of movement into the mix, and often it was as much him walking into the punch as it was the punch being thrown. Someone else said above in the threat about him taking one punch too many, and they were absolutely correct. Virgil complained at length about that very issue, even loudly during fights you'd hear him barking at Khan to get in and out, to not hang around in the pocket. Khan could avoid those big shots when he was concentrating, but all too often he just. They don't call him Pretty Boy for nothing. He's that damn disciplined that he doesn't get caught by those shots, and that ultimately is the (humongous) difference between a fighter like Khan and a GOAT candidate such as Mayweather. I mean, do we really know how good Mayweathers chin is? Not really. He went out to prove himself, over stretched and got sloppy, tried to box inside too much against fighters with known KO power, and it got him slept against Garcia. To me, that was somewhat of a robbery, and mentally he never really got over it. Khan's career really started to stumble after the Peterson fight. His resume up to Khan was almost entirely KO's.įor a hand-picked opponent for what was supposed to be a tune-up fight for a very young and green Khan, it was a horrifically bad call. Prescott had knockout power at the level he was at prior to the Khan fight.

Brook insists he is happy to take the minority share of any purse shared between the warring welterweights, but feels 80-20 in the admitted bigger name’s favour is grossly unfair and does not believe Khan truly wants the fight. “It” is the long-awaited showdown between Brook and Khan which may or may not happen this summer. His ego is so big but I’m world champion, I fight for a living so I can bend here and there to make it happen.” Is he a fighter or is he jumping on jets, rolling with the stars? If that’s the case, he should retire. Kell Brook tickets for a mandatory defence of his IBF welterweight title against talented but unheralded Canadian Kevin Bizier have recently gone on sale – they meet on March 26 in Brook’s hometown of Sheffield – but his nemesis from Bolton still occupies the Yorkshireman’s thoughts. “HE should call himself Amir Khandashian,” Kell Brook declares to Boxing News, laughing quietly but vehement in his belief that arch-rival Amir Khan has become more personality that boxer.
