    His accuracy in particular is embarrassing for someone his level.

    Silver medal at the Olympics at 17 years old losing only to Mario Kindelan e.g one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time. Have you ever boxed?

    I think you are just confusing terms here. There are appropriate praises you can reasonably lavish on Khan.

    "He is an amazing athlete."

    Yep.

    "He is a real warrior."

    Yeah, I'll definitely give him that.

    When you say "he is an amazing boxer", in the strictest sense you are calling him a master of ringcraft, possessed of highly developed skills and ring intelligence, up there with a Hopkins or Mayweather. That simply isn't the case. Khan owing to his positive attributes is a very good fighter but his pure boxing skills for an Olympian and pro titlist are lacking. He was an amazing amateur, yes, because he was very fast to make up for that lack of skill and because the amateur scoring system suited his style and strengths more than does the pro game. He has done very well in the pros to hold titles getting by on his speed and guts in spite of his relatively poor (at best mediocre, as said above) boxing skills.

    i refuse to watch a suckback interview to give that guy any views but that roger mayweather interview is old.

    suckback is known for cutting up interviews and waiting to post parts of it.

    khan is next.

    no way floyd would discredit his own mayweather promotions poll in favour of other polls which have maidana leading.

    "mayweather promotions is the past, present and future of sports and entertainment" - floyd jr.

    "amir khan is a young,strong lion" - floyd jr.

    I understand that but trust me, you can't win worlds titles off hand speed. There are millions of little things that go on in the ring that can't be seen by most. But I will agree that he's not a clever boxer.

    Do you sniff it as a powder or smoke in its crystallized form?
