Khan lacks real power at 140 to gain full respect, he needs to move upto 147

Taylor has the W over old man Hopkins and the draw with Winky - two legitimately great fighters.

Who has Khan ever beat?

 

Only been Maidana???

Who at 140 hits harder?

 

Winky is not a great fighter. I wouldn't go that far. He is good and maybe HOF. Hopkins was good when Taylor beat him, but Khan has beaten some good guys also. Not the quality of Hopkins, but he has done well. Similar style.

 

Khan hasn't beaten anyone the caliber of Hopkins or Wright. Not even close.

That said, Taylor showed a lot of promise before he ran into Hopkins. I truly believe Bernard ruined Jermain. Even post Hopkins, Taylor put up some good performances. He was beating Froch and even put him down on the canvas.

Outside of both having a shaky chin, I honestly don't see any similarities between the two. Khan is all hype.

 

Hopkins didn't ruin Taylor. Pavlik did. But besides that, Taylor fought the same way. fast hands and no game plan. Hopkins doesn't have those fast hands but he has a great gameplan. And I don't think you can teach a guy who does not have a gameplan how to fight that way.

 

the more he goes up in higher weights the more he needs not to sit on his punches fight a fast face.
