Isn't this down to his shocking defense rather than offense?

What I was getting at was, you can't claim to be the best offensively if every time you attack your opponent you leave gaping holes and get caught with KO shots. That's not good offense, that is uneducated wild attacking and sloppy boxing, it's a pretty ridiculous statement to make. It's like a football team that just got relegated saying "we were great going forward" when they'd lost every game, what good is that? Also I think it's fair to say that Khan isn't anywhere near the best going forward in any case, he doesn't carry the power to claim to be the best offensive fighter, the best offensive fighter is the most effective, ie throws the least and causes the most damage.

I'm sure that Uzzy Ahmed video has been butchered I may be wrong but I thought that entrance was prior to his points loss to Chris Edwards.

Yeah it's two different clips, he actually boxed well against Edwards and showed a good chin!
