    If you think he got his ass handed to him just there, you either haven't watched it, or are an idiot.

    Outside of actually getting KO'd, that's the worst he's ever looked.

    He is, but he just has some major flaws to go along with it.

    bangla , your boy is very lucky it wasn't garcia tonight, because his paqi glass jaw/neck would have been shattered again . He got KD and was on spaghetti legs quite a few times ,sure he still won , but it was close.

    He won the boxing match but lost the fight. If this had gone 'to conclusion' Diaz would have won. It is what it is.

    Define elite cuz Schaefer has already said his next fight is for a title. Kahn still has the uneducated Brit population throwing money at him and they need to cash him out coming off this win. You don't seem to know the business side of boxing.

    Can't see how he is rated #1 WW. Floyd needs to jump on this fight after the Ghost. He'll make a ton of money and destroy this clown.

    Yea he better fight in England for the rest of his career, fighting B-Class fighters because if he fights in America again he won't have one.

    wasn't a terrible performance for Khan, but definetly far from great and much room for improvement. Khan's head is somehow a very easy target for opponents. you can't really say he has no chin, because he took some hard shots from Diaz and stayed up. harder shots then the one that put him down, which was a glancing punch where Khan just was off balance and didn't have his feet under him.

    basically this is your run of the mill average Khan performance. He's had much better performances like against Maidana, Zab, or even Peterson. But he's also had much worse performances like against Garcia and Prescott.

    Virgil Hunter certainly hasn't made Khan a new fighter. it's still the same head sticking out waiting to be rocked Khan, but in portions of the fight, he provides good sustained combinations by Khan. this turned out to be a pretty good fight. Khan has problems with guys his size, guys who are bigger, or guys with long arms, plain and simple.

    I'd say his balance, sometimes ploddy footwork, and his positioning is more of a problem then his chin.
