    Needs to sit on his punches but Roach doesnt want him doing that.

    He could punch way harder if he sit on his punch more. His power comes from his speed but if he improve his technique, he'll be KingTFO of everyone.

    Could punch like Nazeem with his speed.

    When he sits down on his punches he puts fighters down.

    When he runs and throws arm punches then they run at him.

    His team need to get him fighting in the pocket.

    I would try and get him to fight like a young Morales , I know a big fooking ask , but there are some similarities .

    This would be a great style for Khan to try and adapt, unfortunately under Roach I just can't see him doing that though.

    Well, I have seen enough fighters that have taken punches from Khan. Don't get KTFO like how Nazeem can do it.

    Khan has power. I honestly thought maidana was done for after that body shot. Judah
    was one of my favs I don't know if he looked for a way out or got hurt. It was a
    close fight but I had it the same card as lederman 114 to 113 for khan. Khan has
    Heart and a chin as well after surviving maidana. Does he have the power to stop
    bradley, iprefer khan in that match

    You have to say most of khan's punches are arm punches rather than power generating from his legs to body to arms.

    Speed = power but if they are arm punches there is only so much power that can come from it.

    You know nothing about boxing. He has proved that his jaw isn't glass. Its vulnerable, but not glass. "Coward" you say? He went to D.C. when he was the star of the show. How many stars will go to someone's backyard and fight them. Not PACQUIAO and not FLOYD. calling him "a glass jawed joke" and saying "he has no chin" is the same thing. You just repeated yourself lol.

    I wouldn't say Featherfisted. He has some pop and some speed (which can lead to him landing punches the opponent doesn't really see coming). That said, you can make an argument that he has the worst chin in the history of the sport of boxing.

    He was suffering from Peterson's body punches that zapped a lot of his energy very early in the fight. And even then, he managed to badly hurt Peterson in the later rounds. So no, I wouldn't say he's feather fisted. Far from it. Peterson, in fact, called his power "shot-gun power". In that, he's not a heavy-handed, but when he hits you, it does sting and stun you a little due to the speed.

    He weighs under 150, of course he's featherfisted. These weight classes win by failing chins, not iron fists or steel hammers.

    This is garbage. Nobody with any sense thinks Khan is feather-fisted.
