    He's not overated at all....and you know all the people that usually talk smack about him etc are usually the closet racists, here in the UK, most white boxing fans are of that stupid backward mentality, trust me ive been to a good few boxing shows, you see it all the time. Basically a lot of people in the UK dont like khan because he's a ****stani lad, you can see that even on the brit section of esb.

    Most people keep it real. Good fighter, great potential, decent resume, still developing career.

    Morales could take a punch and used solid defense which Khan didn't use. If Khan's chin was so bad then why didn't he go down from all of those flush shots from Maidana who is still a decent puncher? You didn't watch the fight did you or are you just making baseless claims? Oh and he moved up from lightweight so that Prescott loss is out of the question since we're talking about him as a JWW. Run away while you can as I doubt you'll answer my argument with anything legit.

    I don't know if this true, probably is, at least partially. I find dislike for Khan on ESB comes mostly from some Americans. Because they don't really like to see up and coming British fighters. Not all Americans, just the tribal ones.

    some of the dislike for Khan comes from the fact that he throws uncoordinated flurries and doesn't really throw many crisp punches. Also his defense is basically just to cover up and/or move he doesn't really react to the individual punches that his opponent is throwing. It's like he might as well have his eyes closed. He's not a dynamic fighter in the sense that he is not reactionary at all. He fights like a pre-programmed fighter, not like someone who can give and take. Intellectually he is not an impressive fighter.

    Who the hell has Maidana knocked out at the worldclass level? Ortiz? His chin is less than solid himself, and he ****ing quit. Other than that Maidana's supposedly impressive KO record is based on knocking out Argentine tomato cans. Same with Prescott in Columbia. These guys have been PROVEN to be overrated punchers at the world class level, yet Prescott laid the Konman out cold. And Maidana almost did it!

    Khan's chin is Grade AAA china and anyone who denies it is either a fanboy or some fool who doesn't recognize that glass jaws exist in boxing. Just wait til the Konman gets laid OUT COLD again. Just wait!

    he has flaws, but, so does pacquiao. i think he has shown that he is a fighter that can correct those mistakes and move on

    only by some of his fans.
    He's good, maybe the best 140 lb fighter.
