    against devon alexander he might have looked very good but like i have said before it wasnt the first time in a big fight that devon hasnt turned up.

    lets go through this again, imo since joining virgil hunter khan has improved his defence/shot selection albeit against opponents that are not top class.

    the side of his game that hasnt improved under virgil hunter is his footwork, amir used to have very fleet footwork for getting in and out but virgil has changed that and amir is much more flat footed.

    overall amir has improved as a fighter but until he boxes one of the danger men in the division that can punch hard we wont actually know if he has improved that much to say that virgil has transformed him.

    the one thing that vurgil cant help amir with is his intellegence and his bravado so that when he is hit he fires back to show he hasnt been hurt. if that has improved we wont know until he fights a puncher again.

    on him beating mayweather imo it will never happen, once amir starts hitting fresh air or gets clipped by a few counters he will get careless and walk onto shots.

    nobody at welterweight beats mayweather not khan/kell/bradley/alexander/gavin/thurman. i dont have anything against khan, he is always good value when he fights and he is british so i will support him against other fighters.

    Billy you should get you face up from between Khans legs because if it was not for the ref holding Amir Khan up he would have lost that fight and should have so Amir did not school Miadana......:nono

    Chinny Con Khany's chin has about offers about as much resistance as a champagne glass.

    At some point Kell Brook will fight him and as soon as he lands a chocolate brownie right hand, Khan gets put to sleep or at best does his Harlem Shake.

    Maidana hit khan flush nd never put him down, now khans defence is much better and I'd say Kell doesn't hit as hard has carlos

    Brook is a true ww he defo hits harder than maidana. Brook and Thurman are the hardest punchers in Divison for me.

    All this talk...

    Yes he can, no he cant, he doesnt do this, he does that, his left lace wasnt tied proper, he cant move/punch, his feet are slow, but his are quicker bull****.

    Lets have a bit of respect here for once, for the fighters, regardless of who they are or where they come from...

    And most importantly,

    When ever any fighter climbs in to a ring, he/she has every chance.

    And every now and again a fight happens and somebody comes along and rips up the script...

    So to claim or state Khan has no chance of beating Mayweather is absurd...

    He has every chance.

    i wouldn't be so sure that Kell punches harder than Carlos, just because your natural at the weight does mean your the harder puncher
    Yes Kell is by far the more skilled

    its Brooks timing that does it for me....he may not have the single hardest 1 punch but the way he lands the long straight right makes it a very powerful weapon

    yes I agree Kell's timing has been excellent of late, but punch for punch I'd say Carlos punches harder
