Is it a coincidence that Khan has now started picking southpaws?

    exactly. Hes suspect to the left hook right?
    with southpaws it gives him more of a chance to see them coming.

    That doesn't make sense ,he closer to a southpaw. If anything he'll get KO quicker because he couldn't see the straight left.

    No...it's just they are the correct opponents for him which also happen to be southpaws which Khan seems to do well against likely due to the lack of leading left hook...

    Alexander/Guerrero are the EXACT calibre of fighter Khan should be fighting next...they just happen to be southpaw.


    Collazo was 147 debut which placed Khan nicely on the edge of the 147 Top 10....


    Who else do you think he should or could be realistically fighting who isn't a southpaw? exactly...maybe Lopez who is the opponent Brook was looking at for December 2014 before he got his leg chopped off...but people were complaining at the thought of Khan fighting him lol.

    I'm confused..
    A southpaw vs a unorthodox fighter means that the left hook from the southpaw is further away from the unorthodox fighter?

    so what i'm trying to say is that with khan now facing southpaws he will have more of a chance to see where the left hooks will be coming from like collazo and judah..

    Its worth noting, correct me if i'm wrong Khan has never lost to a southpaw?
    southpaws dont pose a threat to him unless they get in proper close

    Khan has never lost to a southpaw professionally...but he has as an amateur.

    Also Khan has only ever been dropped by orthodox fighters throwing lead left hooks.
