    Yea, it's like, look at one of his videos of him doing mit work with Roach, then all you have to do is put an opponent in front of him and he moves the exact same way. Nothing adaptive about him.

    Poor mans pacquiao agreed.
    Ameturish style
    No power and no accuracy.

    How anyone puts this guy as a future P4P guy is staggering.

    Rarely in a boring fight however so you have to give him credit for that

    You have to include the neck twisting headlocks he applied against Peterson. Therefore the answer to the question has to be yes :deal

    I've seen much uglier styles in recent memory. Hatton (in the latter part of his career) was infamous for wrestling people around and making things awkward and sloppy. Calzaghe had his 'slapping' flurries, which didn't even look like proper punches but were somehow very effective.

    Khan often looks sloppy or stiff, but I've never really thought of his style as ugly. Unpolished and flawed, certainly, but not offensive to the eyes.

    And to think there are some people who call him a future p4p number 1 and the guy to take Floyd's "0". :lol: :lol: :rofl :rofl :patsch

    Well, it was a cleverly scripted run to the top for him until team Roach thought making a certain fight in DC was the thing to do. That train was seriously derailed! :|

    If you think that's an ugly style, then you need to watch some other fighters. Oh wait, you only watch 'slick back fighters', right? :lol:

    Khan's style is undoubtedly flawed, but ugly? No. The TS is just a hater and a ******. Been proven on here already.

    Hatton came to my mind as well but I was trying to avoid being banned. It's a lot safer to throw Ruiz's name out there.
