    No he didn't. I wish people would quit saying this, as it is a total myth. Have you seen Gomez's losses? He was pulled out of a fight by his corner, quit one (believed to be a fix) and he has been stopped on his feet after huge punishment from punchers.

    He has never been KO'd, never been hurt by a single shot...he has taken huge punishment in the fights he has lost and in fights he has won.

    Idiot. Khan does have his weaknesses but he can punch, his mix of speed and power is the greatest I have seen at such a young age for quite a while.

    @ 135, Kahn can't punch. But P4P H2H, Kahn is one of the hardest punchers alive and in this era, just not all time or including dead guys form other eras. Disagreeing with that make you laughable.

    He can punch, his power is clearly underrated.

    Yeah, I've seen Gomez's losses. I exaggerated a bit by calling his chin "weak", but I was talking about the Gomez of recent times who isn't durable anymore and is much easier to stun, not the one years ago who beat Arthur. Anyone with real power at 135 would have taken out this pretty much shot version of Gomez very early, with much, much less flush shots. Khan's power is a little above average.. that's it.

    He's got enough power to get the job done. Not one punch KO power but that's pretty rare nowadays.

    bredis prescott , if khan could punch like him i would see him as a future proper champ, but he will continue to fight superfeathers . How come he is not fighting for lightweight title ? cos the three present champs are all great punchers, fighting a powderpuff lightwelter means nothing. frank warren will protect amir from big puchers.
