    Regrettably even if he has top scores for all the rest, which he doesn't, his chin scores a zero, and even against the likes of Vargas he fails to keep his chin away from trouble, so this negates any positive attributes he has when facing any decent fighter.

    • Hand speed
      5/5 Can't really get any faster, unless you are a truly gifted athlete. Khan is just a good athlete.
    • Foot speed
      Don´t know how to answer that. His speed is good but his technique is lacking. Poor technique, hood coordination. 3/5?
    • Chin
      3/5 Not pure glass, but not one to take into a brawl. (and boy oh boy does Khan love to brawl)
    • Defense (encompassing defensive skill and instincts/reflexes)
      2/5 Tends to just cover up, no real backup plan when hurt. Often drops his guard when counter attacking. He seems to panic and just try to force the opponent off of him. His hand speed seems to keep opponent at bay.
    • Ring IQ
      That boy has very little. He knows he needs to rely on his feet, reach and speed. But he overestimates his reflexes, his timing and toughness.
    • Power
      3/5. Will keep anyone honest, but not enough to KO title level guys. (4/5 being guys who score stoppages and KOs, 5/5 being guys who KTFO people)

    Overall, to me Khan is 3/5. He can sometimes shine and then look mediocre the next time.
    All in all, Khan is a better athlete than he is a boxer.

    Give him Porters durability and chin and he would have won all his fights with ease.

    • Hand speed - A-
    • Foot speed - B-
    • Chin - C
    • Defense (encompassing defensive skill and instincts/reflexes) - D
    • Ring IQ - F (he has absolutely no Ring IQ, to score him at all would be an insult)
    • Power - B-
    • Accuracy/offensive skill - B-
    Makes for some exciting fights, mind, but he's a poor fighter really. Perfect fight for Pacquaio, really - gives him a highlight reel KO and probably gives him one last big fight.
