Khan: Offensively, I'm a good fighter. Defensively, I'm one of the worst fighters"

Despite his losses, I've seen significant improvement in his arsenal and even though it's been a little, he's defensively a lot better than he used to be back in the old days. Losing or getting knocked out doesn't always mean that the fighter hasn't improved.

Well I think in Hunter's case, it's the trainer who makes the fighter. By the way, I'm not saying we're going to get some Khan 2.0, I just appreciate his honest assessment of himself, which he never used to be too smart on.

fair enough laz,not argueing,can't be arsed,its been proved he said it in that other thread thats appeared

but im standing what i said about trainers,its the fighters that make the trainers

Always the trainers fault

I have a feeling that much like his time with Roach we will see Khan improve rapidly only to slowly decline again as he builds in confidence.
