What is it that Khan lacks that stops him from being elite?

The things Khan lacks to be an elite are the same things he lacks to be an A-grade boxer. The hype that surrounds him is simply absurd.

 

All Khan has is freakish speed and that's where it ends. Once he gets tired it becomes obvious that he's lost, extremely basic and predictable. The only reason he gets away with his predictability is his speed, even with his speed, fighters with power can literally blindly time him. Khan is staying away from fighters with power because his management knows that if he hits the canvas again, he's finished and all the dreams of a big payday are out the window.

 

If Khan had a strong chin, he'd never be beaten.

 

So you believe Khan outboxed Garcia?

It's a boxing match. Someone is going to outbox the other unless it's a dead even draw.

So... Khan outboxed Garcia is what you believe, yes?

Interesting. Oh yeah. Some of my favorite examples of someone being outboxed are when Tyson was outboxed by Holmes and when Ali was outboxed by Foreman. A recent one is when Sonny Boy Jaro was outboxed by Pongsaklek Wonjongkam.

 

I've said before that as fast as Khan is, he's also predictable.

 

Should rename him Mr. Dumbchin.

 

You could well be right there B.

 

It is more than just his Glass Jaw he has zero Ring IQ for one. He gets tired after about the 4th or 5th round and just looks to pitter pat and survive.

Khan's biggest issue (other than his Chin) is he has no power to keep the opponent honest. If he had power it would really make his opponents think twice about coming in or trying to time him and he could protect his Chin better.

 

Khan's fanboys say Floyd doesn't have the power to hurt him. Khan's not exactly Julian Jackson either.

 

An inside game

 

Khan is feather fisted. His best KO is Glass Jawed Salita :rofl

Other than that all his 'KO wins' are pretty much British stoppages where he was flurrying his opponent against the ropes. The Judah KO was Zab just trying to fake a low blow and get a point deduction he could have continued. Other than those 2 Khan's doesn't have one legit KO on his resume :rofl

 

Khan is a very overrated boxer imo. He's also past his peak in all honesty. Hes peak was the zab judah fight, he'll never get back up there. The guy might aswell retire if he ain't gonna fight brook.

 

Yes. Watch the fight: Khan boxes the ears off Garcia, making him look pedestrian and flat footed, but then gets caught with an eyes-closed-hope-for-best haymaker of a left hook that puts him on ***** street and, ultimately, leads the fight to be stopped. An easy fight to summarise.

At no point before that left hook landed was Garcia outboxing Khan.

 

Watch the fight again. Garcia was timing Khan throughout the fight.

 

Khan won the first round and that was it. He got his Glass Jaw obliterated after that.
