    Doesn't move his head and is easily countered.
    only has one style of fighting
    Has no inside game, apart from pushing

    Believes he can fight a Ricky Hatton style take a punch to get your own off

    Also, doesn't adapt in the ring, sloppy footwork coming forward (often mistaken for good footwork just because he is quick), squares his feet when attacking and often overbalances and ends up falling into his opponent, moves back in straight lines too much instead of using lateral movement, throws combinations with no real thought of what he is doing, open to the straight right/southpaw left when coming in an attacking, leaps in, ala Pacquiao, when attacking (although he does seem to be doing this less lately), wastes best years of his career waiting for a May/Pac fight instead of earning it.

    Khan has a ridiculous amount of really noticable flaws that he can usually get away with due to his great athleticism. When this goes he will get KOed more often and brutally than Roy Jones does. In fairness to him, he is starting to reduce some of these flaws now that he is with Hunter.

    Drops his right when he throws his left leaving him up to a well timed 'punch at the same time' counter ala Garcia

    Great post. Khan at the age of 28 or whatever he is still needs virgil hunter to yell constant instructions at him. Someone like that wont beat pacman or mayweather.

    Punch resistance and defence. Power and strength isn't what it was at the lighter weights either.

    Pretty much a little lack luster at everything IMO. Just a very good athlete with solid boxing skills

    I'm going to go out on a wild shot in the dark here, and say his chin.
