    Obviously somebody like Mayweather is 100%, but what would you rate Amir's as?

    He's comparable with Victor Ortiz.

    Both of them would struggle to beat a chicken at tic tac toe.

    Dumb as ****. He's great when he's trying to exert his own game plan (which has been drilled into him to the nth degree), but as soon as the other guy does something he's not been trained for, he looks like an amateur.

    50 points.

    If he is in a fight in which he feels seriously threatened and he knows the opponent is dangerous he will fight more cautiously and stick to a game plan. I am recalling Mandaina here.

    In most of his fights against fighters he expects to beat due to his hugely inflated ego, he is completely inept and allows his chin to be hung out to try on occasion whilst walking back in a straight line. He lets ego dictate that he needs to trade at some point with guys he could easily beat on the outside.

    Kahn defiantly has the natural fighting ability. thank f**k he's not as boring as Floyd though or taking on almost everyone when they are over the hill and done.

    Virgil I hope has realised he ain't changing Kahn much, just equip him some tools to stay upright when in deep water. Virgil is clearly trying to get Amir to do the right things However, by the time that Kahn finally realises being a good boxer means to be boring not get hit, box and win fights like Floyd or his stable mate Ward, it'll probably 10 years after retirement assuming he didn't get knocked out into an early grave.
