What Did You Think Of Khan's Power With Everlast 8oz Gloves?

Yeah not bad actually.:good

he threw some monster shots, and a nice power shot to the body pout maidana down on his ass so cant be that bad! (well on his back!)

Lovely body shot, but Khan is clearly feather fisted. With a porous defence (although his survival ability in the tenth really impressed me) and only a half-decent jab and fast hands.

He really won't go on to do too much after theinevtable Tim Bradley fight IMO.

 

atsch

come on man........

 

Bradley is the feather fisted one only 11 stoppages so far.

 

If you boys wanna talk boxing lets talk. I can guarantee you will both end up looking '****s at the end of it, but if you're game, let's go.

Why is Khan not feather fisted?

 

He needs to improve his power, it has got marginally better with each fight, but it's still not that powerful. It's looks better than it used to be though.

 

What do you define as feather-fisted??

 

Malignaggi is featherfisted.
I think Khan has reasonable power to cause damage..not the single knock out power.

 

At Elite level, below average power. Calderon fr instance, although, even he buzzed Segura. Won't put a dent in Elite level competition, although, as I previously conceded the 1st round body shot was wonderful ad precise.

Khans problem is that he falls in with his shots, back foot comes off the ground when he's throwing his flurries, even when he digs in he doesn't seem to do much damage.

He pummelled Paulie, who was never anything special anyway, but durable, and whilst he marked him up and knocked him around a bit, the frequency/speed with which he landed wouldve suggested Paulie being flattered.

-Salita. **** fighter, stunned early with some
precise combos, not sparked.

Kotelnik-Super durable so no shame there. Never bothered him.

-Maidana; vulnerable early, but Khan barely marked him up and couldn't do much to stun him. Beautiful body shot as I say, but Maidana is known for being susceptible to early kds with head shots, again Khan peppered h throughout but did little.

People will now say that Khan didn't plant his feet because he had to be mobile....the shame that claim he took shots on purpose and was lax with his jab to give Maidana more scoring oppurtunities.

Khan is quality but has several stylistic deficiencies. Gameplans aside, it is Amir who will be easy to form a gameplan against, he has several big fallacies in his execution, all he can do is use his decent jab to set up unharmful flurries, or run for dear life.

Can't see him beating Bradley, but of he does he will struggle further north. He doesn't have the physicality. Okay, he cn survive, but he's hardly iron chinned. Iron chinned fighters take on bigger punchers than Maidana and don't wobble, flinch or have to get on their bikes.

Khan has two gears, and his offensive one isn't complete. Of course people will say 'he's young, he has time' but the way he's going he's looking at a short shelf life.

People seem to think saying 'he'll follow a gameplan' means he'll be able to do what he wants, forgetting that there are more well-rounded fighters that him that know his main deficiencies.

I'm a Khan fan now, but there is nothing special about him other than his blistering handspeed (hardly Camacho-esque in terms of variety though) and big heart, which could well see him take more beatings and threaten his career any more.

People just need to stop hugging his jab. Nothing special at all.

 

Other then the body shot and the odd accurate punch that caught Maidana's attention and respect Khan shoe shined his way through the fight.

 

In Khan's next fight, I can really see him sitting down on his punches and generating more power, I think in this fight he just wanted to prove a point about his chin which I think he did that in spades.

IMO, if we are going by your (Flea Man) logic we would have to say Joe Calzaghe was feather-fisted because when he stepped upto the real elite level he didn't stop anyone and no-one on here would say Joe Calzaghe couldn't punch.

I don't care what anyone says if you stop 17 opponents in 24 wins, no matter what level it is at that stat says Khan has got power, it might not be concussive power but it certainly is power nonetheless.

 

Yes, Calzaghe was a below average puncher too, mainly down to bad hands, but no, I'd say he couldn't punch that hard. Bar winging away at a B-class fighter at Mitchell who did he stop?

Hit Lacy and a shot Roy Jones **** knows how many times and couldn't put 'em away.

Sorry, I forgot Tocker Pudwill.

Calzaghe, average puncher before consistent injuries, when he actually stepped it up I remember a nice body shot to Kessler in the 8th round but little else in the way of power. When his hands were at their absolute best he caught Eubank cold with a flash kd. Eubank had an iron chin, but the above is hardly proof of him being anything above average.

So yes, I am saying Calzaghe could t punch.

 

And yes, it doesatter what level it's at. Classy fighters stop lower level fighters (Earl, Kristansen, Salita) regardless of their actual power, that's down to levels.

Sometimes a half-decent puncher pulls genius out of their arse (Nunn-Kalambay, Martinez-Williams II for instance) but the stoppage wins Khan has had are not proof of his power. The fact o's he only stopped those guys due to his flurries and handspeed, he hasn't sparked anyone, let alone anyone of note (unless you count Oisen ***en )

He has below average power, especially considering how many shots he lands with his flurries.

 

Who would you rate as average power and what do you think of Hayes power at heavyweight considering he couldnt KO Ruiz a guy that was KOed with almost the first shot he recieved from Tua.
