    Found probably the best article I've seen on BN24.

    Amir Khan is one of the most technically complete boxers I've seen in a while. Hands up, jab, cross....and he's fast. Good things to have.

    Khan is the best upcoming boxer in boxing at the moment and if anyone didnt know that before they did after the maidana fight, this time next year he should earn everyones respect

    I know you like Khan and all that, but is he paying you?

    He lacks head movement, any form of an inside game, foot speed, and a proper defence.

    But he has the potential to become great, if he manages to account for the above.

    Maidana he was out on his feet, literally running from his opponent. Now I give him credit for surviving, I give him credit for winning a close fight, but Maidana isn't the last puncher he will face and it's a matter of time before he is put down again. It's not like JMM getting these flash KD's then popping back up ready to go, he was hurt and hurt badly...I know Maidana can punch, so can a lot of guys. Bottom line assuming he can keep from getting caught with a big punch for the rest of his career his future is hella bright, but he'll always be one big punch away from being the next Jermain Taylor.

    Forget Prescott, Maidana is the one who should be getting the rematch

    I think holding your hands up in front of your head at all times when you aren't punching is a pretty good defense. But then again....I'm not that good with the subtle nuances of the game....like I don't notice that a guy drops his hands after a right or scratches his nose after he gets hit or wipes his ass with his left hand.
