    I saw him doing mostly what he always did. getting too close to get extension on his punches, throwing shoe-shine combo's where most of the punches missed, getting rocked by innocuous looking punches. He did keep his hands up more though.

    Khan is unbeatable at any weight below 175.

    He looked good but i think we need to see him in with a younger world class fighter next time out.Preferably one who is a natural light weight.Khan has improved under Roach and looks like he could go a long way but to say he is unbeatable is going a bit far.

    Khan gets knocked out the first time he steps up in class, and the two punches that Marco landed, not even that hard, had him rocked.

    The guy has no future at world level, but could gain quite a few fans at domestic and European level.

    So now you are saying MAB was not a step up?

    You haters are stupid. Khan is already the greatest lightweight on the planet. No one can touch him.

    Untouchable? WTF are you talking about man?

    He beats a shopworn legend thats fought for 20 years and has a huge gash in his head and you've somehow come to the conclusion that he can be unbeatable?

    Get a grip of yourself.

    In time 'IF' he keeps improving the counter punching, maybe the Unbeatable is misleading.

    It won't happen. He didn't remove any of the doubts over his chin, he confirmed them. And he is going to get hit against better opposition. It would be an insult to world class lightweights to think they wouldn't be able to touch him a few months after getting sparked in a round. He might have improved, but not that much. Everybody gets hit.

    Floyd Mayweather has done it and has never been beat, hit and move, Khan has faster hand speed then him.

    Considering he's in your avatar you havn't been watching very hard. Mayweather has been hit. Less than nearly everybody, but hit nonetheless. If he had Khan's chin he would have been knocked out by Castillo, Corley and Judah at least.

    Mayweather's defence is about 100X as good as Khan's particularly inside.

    Floyd vs Khan would be great next year. Maybe we have somebody in Khan capable of destroying PBF.

    Yeah has been hit but not many times, and not cleanly. Khan can use his feet more and is faster with his hands. I am saying not he is there now, but say if he keeps improving under Roach say another 2 years he will be.

    We'll see. It's a very large 'if'.

    He would literally have to become Willie Pep to avoid being knocked out 4 or 5 times in his career.
