    I know how everyone says Amir is overrated and Amir cant hit, but looking at this I can already tell a few things. For one, Amir looks a lot muscular and im sure he hits harder now. KO power? no, but its going to help him. Second, his

    is still there, i was impressed when he threw off the 4-6-8 combination punches. Hes growing into a welterweight and I think he will do well in that division if he keeps looking like that.

    Who cares? The mitts don't punch back. Khan has no power. None. No Chin either and his fighting 'style' if you even want to call it that proves it.

    He looks better in the Seconds Out video and this one. In Seckbach's it looked like he had slowed, but that was just the beginning of the workout. His back has definitely gotten bigger. Not sure if that's a good thing, though. Hope his legs are strong.

    Anyone can look godly in the gym.
    Amir is very impressive against equipment.

    Khan has the skills nobody can deny that.
    Just wish he would fight that way in the ring.

    khan makes alot of weird noises, not like bitchy screams that alexander does with his slaps, but just strange noises.

    I don't think he has. Khan's body has just matured for the most part. They have made his back slightly bigger, but he's actually not much bigger than he was before at all. Ruben mentioned how they're not actually building muscle till he goes to 147. They're just strengthening it, hence the reason he looks a little more ripped.

    It makes it easier for him to sit down on his punches knowing that Roach isn't going to counter that Fragile Glass Jaw while he's doing it. Khan has no power and no Chin. None.

    Fast hands. But mostly noticed shitty stance and even sloppier foot work. Mitt-man Roach is not doing this young fighter a huge favor.

    This. He's so authoritative with his punches in training cause he knows nothing is coming back at him. Stark difference to his fight performances.

    No power pfffttt, tell that to maidana.
    No chin pfffttt, he hasn't been put down once since moving to light welterweight and you're still saying that.

    He has no rhythm or groove.none. Looks stiff and awkward. Needs to take dancing classes as cross training.What would help is put rnd or hip hop beats when he's training, IMO.
