    people go on about his improvements but for me khan looked better against non punchers with roach the key is once he fights a known puncher at 147 then we will see if he has improved.

    people forget khan only looked bad with roach when he fought against punchers so far he has not fought a puncher with virgil so i feel the jury is still out

    I was more concerned about how his new style would work against boxers....

    forget about punchers... The way Roach guided Khan was horrible for Khan if he were to face punchers.

    Khan is definitely improved. He'll still get knocked out from time to time but it will be harder to do now that he has some defense.

    Khan is better off with Hunter, if he stayed with Roach he'd end up like a future Pacquiao and Roach himself, punch drunk with parkinsons. Pac is heading that direction but thanks to Bap he's fought feather fisted guys like Bradley, and Algieri the avocado man.

    His 2nd fight with Hunter I think it was. Against Peterson he was well settled with roach.

    Pacquiao is much better no doubt, but you'll see the repercussions he has to deal with within 10 years of his retirement.

    Hard to tell, he looks better defensively with Hunter but I think he might revert back to the Khan of old when he faces a puncher.

    yes he does but same could of been said when he was with roach fighting paulie,judah infact he looked better the only problem was when he fought a known puncher only when he fights one at 147 then we can judge

    His defense is just terrible. He can't even turtle properly. Virgil has Khan being more patient and keeping balance a bit better but other than holding...hasn't improved that much.
