http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipsyWURr1yU your thoughts? :bbb that uppercut 0:30 is nasty :thumbsup and that straight left 1:25 :!: both were extremely damn fast..
Im not particualry a Khan fan but there was never any question about his offensive ability. However until a decent hitter lands on his chin ( without headgaurds or giant gloves ) the questions will remain.
I think Khan was training like a tosser model before Freddy told him whats what, you can tell he was getting to big and muscle'y, his chest and shoulders were to big and he was working out with kettle bells and weights like a bodybuilder , plus he has a small head and temple, that means there is very little room or fluid to absorb impact and shock, if he can stay behind his fast jab with his long arms and keep a better defence he can be in the top 10, it's a long road and who knows if he can learn everything he needs to, he has time at 21, ****ing 21 is a baby! lucky wee *******!
khan is a fantastic boxer and probably improved pacman. it is a shame he can not wear that head guard in a pro fight though.lol.
lol. it's the other way around. pac improved khan by sparring with him. sparring and training w/ the #1 p4p fighter in the world can only make you better and it showed in khan's most recent fight. and that was a a very fast killer left pac landed on him towards the end. if it wasn't for the head gear, khan would've tasted canvas again.
Khan's always been good offensively-fast as fcuk, lots of combos-but his defence is non-existant, Pac countered a jab with a four punch combo in that clip and they all landed. Having a weak chin need not be such a cross to bear if you're very hard to hit but Khan isn't. I really can't see him going all the way, no chin, no defence, no inclination to fight defensively. Recipe for another disaster. Didn't see any improvement in the last fight.
Of the videos I've seen of Manny sparring Khan does a lot better than most. To me it looks like Khan has reduced the head movement but tightened the guard which is a better strategy for his style and weaknesses obviously. No doubt that chin of his is always going to limit his success but **** the guy has some skills and a good style.
