    Possible the most underrated shot out there but why doesn't he use it more often? He doesn't throw enough.. the same one that knocked Maidana down... left hook to the body... Freddy taught him that but doesn't seem like he uses it as much... for someone with a weaker chin and feather fisted hands this is one shot which can definitely help his cause

    well, he's obviously not a hard puncher... pacman, marquez, rios, lucas, russian dude(fought bradley) are power punchers...

    Khan is not feather fisted.

    I do agree though that he needs to go to the body more.

    He would have bossed that fight if he hadn't head hunted so much!!!

    let's not also forget that Diaz got KO'd by Holt... and none of Khan's punches looked like they hurt Diaz... in fact, anyone watching a fight for the first time may think Diaz had an iron chin...

    Yes but there's a big difference between not being a big puncher and being feather fisted.
