    Callum Smith also throws a very good left to the body... but obviously Khan has produced it at a much higher level.

    As i said already i wish khan would double or triple the amount he uses his left hook to the body. It reminds me a little of hearns left hook to the body

    He cant because he's worried about getting caught himself.

    Khan has 0 in fighting skills which is a shame because even if they only good he would be able to fire the left hook home a bit more. As it is hes very much a jab, straight right and flurry from range kind of fighter

    George Groves thought he had a left hook to knock out Froch

    Mean's he'd have to stay on the inside a little longer.. he's never had a good inside game which I believe to be one of the reasons he went with Hunter... but from what I've seen, it's still not vastly improved.

    In fact, in his fight with Diaz it looked like his style was completely confused... boxing long, then coming in on the inside and hanging around too long etc.

    Against Collazo that looked rectified and he boxed long, putting in a very good performance.

    Amir Khan is made to box at range.

    Also, as every man and his dog knows, he doesn't hold the best of shots so staying on the inside to whip in another 2 left hooks in isn't ideal.

    When he does throw it in singles and spins off though, it's top draw... ask Maidana.

    Its a complete arm punch! However, the one he put Mckenzie down with was decent

    Definetly !! Apparently he's left handed but obviously fights orthodox.
