    Honestly, the pure boxing ability of the guy is insane. And he is getting better with every fight. Now I think the whole chin and 'glass jaw' business has gotten out of hand, but I am willing to accept that for the sake of argument.

    His defense is better and he doesn't get hit a lot nowadays. And if that chin has gotten much better at 140, or actually wasn't even that bad to begin with, WATCH THE **** OUT!

    I am talking purely about his boxing, not how big a **** you think he is or whether you actually like him as a person. I think he is a good boxer.

    Now I just hope he doesn't go and get knocked out because this thread will get bumped :rofl

    His pure boxing ability is far from insane. He's barely heard of moving his head, a left hook or any body work. I would have thought they were prerequisites for a great pure boxer. He has hardly any variety in his boxing which works when you're fighting limited opponents.

    His athletic quality probably is insane.

    IMHO most people on here who don't like Khan don't like him for genuine boxing/ personality reasons. "Most".....

    Very true. He is good to watch aesthetically (dunno if thats spelt right) cos of his hand speed but he really needs to improve the variety of his attacks now hes at world level. His straight shots are accurate and effective but you need more than just them to beat a good all round fighter like Bradley. Saying that I think he can unify 140 and if he does start mixing up his offence better whilst continuing to be stable defensively I think he has the potential to get high up on p4p lists in the future

    the problem with khan is that he needs a few more tough fights against capable operators like lamont peterson, Paul Mccloskey,Juan urango before hes ready to step up with some1 of bradleys calibre
