    His inaccuracy and predictability limit him a lot.

    Among other things, Khan uses his height and reach effectively, unlike PW.

    speed kills, and he is improving in other areas

    he killed judah, you would think judah is a talentless scrub the way khan treated him

    Handspeed: A (By far his strongest asset. Some of the fastest hands in the sport today.)

    Footspeed: B+ (Pretty good, but not on the same level as his handspeed. He's not as quick on his feet as someone like Pac.)

    Head and Upper Body Movement: C+ (Needs to improve this, although to be fair he has quite a tall, lanky frame, so he's not really the type to get under shots like smaller guys. That being said, he can still be a bit too stiff like Wlad, which is part of the reason why Maidana was able to continually land those overhand rights.)

    Blocking/Parrying: B (Fairly tight, but not exceptional. Needs to practise dealing with shots like the uppercut up close. Mostly serves him well, though.)

    Heart: A (Very gutsy. Even when he's hit with crushing shots, he always makes an effort to come back stronger. In his only KO loss, he was still desperately trying to get up when he was counted out, and a lesser fighter would have crumbled against Maidana.)

    Ring Intelligence: B- (Not as bad as he used to be, mainly due to Roach's training. Still gets too heated and overexcited at points, though.)

    Chin: B- (Seems to have improved due to the higher weight and the new conditioning. Still questionable, although the tenth round against Maidana seems to indicate that he's much tougher than many assumed.)

    Stamina: B+ (I haven't seen anything particularly worrying on this front. In fact, to use constant movement and throw combinations in every round for the whole fight shows a pretty good level of stamina.)

    Power: B (Not a power puncher, relies on his speed. However, he's developed more power since he joined Roach, and he sits down on more of his shots. Particularly nice body shots against Maidana and Judah.)

    General Offence: B+ (Nice ability to throw combinations, particularly effective against 'boxer' types who can't match his output. Good jab. Not the most accurate guy around, but not bad either. Goes to both body and head. Not devastating, but good offensive abilities.)

    Technical Ability: 7- looks great on the front foot and throws a mean, lightning fast 1-2. Very hard to beat if you box him from the outside. However his lack of inside ability and the sometimes cumbersome looking hooks he throws lowers this score somewhat.

    Defence: 7- His hands up style lends to a susceptibility for the hook and uppercut, though he showed during the Zab fight that this has improved. He's also improving a lot when it comes to turning his opponents and using lateral movement to offset their offensive.

    Offense: 8.5- One of the best offensive fighters currently, especially on the outside where I would only favour a select few fighters to beat him. He's also turning out to be a mean body puncher.

    Accuracy: 7- When he picks his shots they land and land consistently, however more often than not he opts for the "quantity over quality" approach instead.

    Power: 7.5- When he really sits down on his shots they look like they hurt, he was bloodying Zab up and noticeably hurting him after 4 rounds.

    Speed: 9- Lightning fast, especially in the early going, making him very hard to counter. It's not a 10 because he seems to slow down somewhat towards the championship rounds, and even then he's still faster than a large majority of fighters.

    Versatility: 7.5- Since the Prescott loss he's been in with a wide variety of styles and looked impressive against most of them. He can box extremely well when in his element, though he tends to stand and brawl FAR too much for my liking still.

    Heart: 10- Has one of the biggest hearts in boxing, never gives up or quits even when under extreme pressure and hurt badly.

    Chin: 7- Ever since moving to 140 he's never been down once, and has only been noticeably hurt by the biggest puncher in the division in Maidana, after shipping hard shots to the head and body for ten tough rounds. Judah never seemed to faze him despite landing a few good shots.

    Stamina: 8- He seems to slow down somewhat over the championship distance, but never to an alarming degree. Always seems to finish his fights strong too.

    Overall: 8- A solid fighter with immense physical gifts, that has the potential to be a P4P top 3 talent in my opinion.

    Ummmm......no.

    Khan has a subpar inside game. Without that aspect in your asrsenal, you cannot possibly be rated an 8.

    he is able to fight on the outside and he stays there, you cant say someone like Wlad has a poor offence because he doesn't fight on the inside, lack of inside game effects his versatility rating in my opinion.
