    See I may of agreed with the heart comment before the maidana fight but not know! And no chance on skill.

    Khan has heart, lots of heart, he showed after getting banged by Maidana.

    He is a predictable offensive fighter, though. But I see no Maidana @10th in a Khan Bradley fight. Likely more hugging. Not much headbutting because that only happens often on lefties vs righties.(Bradley/Alexander, Pascal/Dawson etc)

    some heart he displayed...running away from chino almost the rest of the way....khan showed a chicken heart....after getting rocked, he was not there to fight but to run....
     
  4. yes he is , he has no head movement , no defense at all he doesnt no how to clinche or fight on the inside , he just stands on the outside and lets his hands go real fast and uses his legs , pretty effective for him so far though !

    Is Khan one-dimensional? Not really. He's basically a speedy outside, fight from range type of fighter. But he's got a good variety of punches to head and body. He can fight inside if he needs to.

    Plus, he's improving all the time under Freddie Roach...........much like Pacquiao did.

    Obviously he'll never be Pacquiao.............but Khan is a multi talented fighter who will keep on improving and one dimensional he ain't

    i dont think khan can fight on the inside, even at this stage pacquiao isn't great at inside fighting either, both are best at mid range.

    we know Khan can box on the outside. what else can he do? Can he counterpunch effectively? can he swarm his opponent? can he slug it out?

    I'd say he's pretty one-dimensional. You can be one-dimensional and have success though.

    yup being one dimensional isn't a bad thing, jsut look at tito, he was one dimesnion but that one dimension was enough to beat many multi dimensional fighters.

    This is a problem with roach shame he cant spend a bit of time with Mayweather.

    on the contrary Roach is the best thing that could ever happen to Khan but these things take time and also natural talent.
