Khan could be so much better....

So true, Khan has zero defense, none and Roach hasn't exactly helped in this respect either.

 

Some people say that Khans strength and conditioning coach isn't up to the job as Khan seems to tire from the 7th round onwards. Personally i put this down to Khan spending most of the first 7 rounds hitting thin air and wasting energy.

His accuracy is also ****, throws loads of shots but most hit air/arms etc.

Someone mentioned before Khan has a poor variety. I was talking about this a couple of hours ago. Whenever you see Khan on the pads with Roach its always the same combo he throws. Left, right, Left, Right, Left to the body then step to the left to create an "angle" to throw a straight right hand.

 

The OP has to be one of the most amateurish posts I've read recently. Come on, man. atsch

 

Let us take a moment to applaud how monumentally pissed Earl Hickey must be at the moment. These posts have the grammatical correctness of a ******. Staggering.

:thumbsup

 

Khan has no problems with his stamina, Peterson put a hell of a alot of pressure on him and landed bodyshots and Khan was not breathing heavily, infact Peterson was gassing from chasing after Khan.

 

You're spot on. Khan's conditioning is one of his big strengths. Supremely conditioned.

 

I think Khan's conditioning was largely what got him through the Maidana fight, too. Without it that tenth round would have been his undoing. Trouble is, he thinks he brings a lot more to the table than just hand speed and conditioning, so is constantly trying to walk before he can run.

 

I agree. he's one of the dummest boxers ever

 

Khan simply needs to learn how to fight on the inside. If he can improve his inside game, then he'll be a very very difficult fighter to beat.

 

Khan isn't perfect but people seem to forget what they once said about him pre Freddie Roach and post Prescott. Even Pre Prescott. Ultimately, at every stage of his career Khan has been tipped to fail but pre Peterson was 1 or 2 fights from mega P4P showdowns.

 

People being bit harsh on Khan, remember he went to Peterson's backyard and it back fired on him, I think Khan was over looking Peterson and was not ready mentally for the type of fight Peterson brought to him.

People can say what they want, Khan will be back better than before, He is a winner, and winners hate losing.

 

It's seems Khan been around a long time yet he is still only 25yrs old, he is younger than Degale for example.

 

Flurry and move may work against basic European operators with no punching power.

 

Not only is that not simple but it's not just that:

Foot positioning
Punching form
Defence
Economic movement

Are 4 major issues. And there are more.

 

I'll roll with that. Well done Earl
