    Khan is a very skilled fighter...with a weak chin. He has poor defense, it is really easy to hit him with straight rights. Look at the knockout punch. My God, a junior fighter has better defense than that. Khan has speed and movement, but nothing else that would make him an elite fighter. If he is not careful he is going to get seriously hurt in the ring.

    So in the conference Canelo legit said he'll fight GGG at 160. Forcing Oscar's reluctant hand?f

    Cotto never got hit flush like Khan did though, it was always through or around the guard. Khan seems to take punches full on flush because of major lapses in concentration.

    I don't see it as a lack in concentration, just poor defence

    I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't think it would be as good a fight as it was, but Khan came to win and actually showed us something. Shame he has no chin.

    This was the weakest? Are you crazy? Khan got knocked out ricky hatton style. The additional collision of his head hitting the mat made it even worse. At least the other two he made attempts to get up.
