    Khan is never going to be able to move his head like Morales, but what he can do is cotinue to improve his high guard shelled up defense, he should be able to improve his footwork to control range/angles better - its good but could improve and if his footwork was better should have seen him avoid Maidana's wide looping punches

    I think he probably beats everyone at 140, I don't see Bradley as his biggest threat either, I think JMM and Judah would be bigger threats

    Which is quality in itself, n'est pas?

    You also mention that you saw him apply "boxing skills 101" against Maidana and weren't impressed. If he has learned that and applied it successfully for the first time at world level then wouldn't you say that that, in itself, is a mark of quality?

    The thing that has impressed me most about Khan is that he took his licks and went off to learn his trade better. He is still learning and working to improve so I reckon he deserves props for that because there are plenty who don't.
