    Limited.
    Tried to slow him down and burn less energy but Khan was never that type of fighters.
    Hunter wanted him to be a ring general but he never had the IQ for that.
    Roach had him at his best using his fast hands and feet and raiding in and out.

    Khan was NEVER going to be a great technician, no matter who trained him.

    It`s a boxing contest and his defense wasn`t marvelous.

    That means he was not world class and any elite fighter would have destroyed him, Maidana was a poor man`s Duran.

    If you are rated top 10 your world class.
    He was top 5.
    Maybe short of elite but Maidana was very good.
    Poor man’s Duran is actually a compliment to him.

    I'm watching highlights of Khan's fights with Collazo and Alexander, and even with the so-called "improvements" under Hunter, he's STILL constantly off-balance, and STILL overextending when he punches. Look at how often he lifts a foot off the ground in his fights.

    These are mistakes fighters learn to stop making in the AMATEURS, FFS. I just wanna yell at the screen, "STOP CROSSING YOUR ****ING FEET, YOU DUMB****!".

    Even under Hunter, Khan's footwork is still TERRIBLE.
