His power is fine. Ortiz couldn't drop Peterson late on... Garcia also has a tough chin.

I actually think khans lack of power is the problem

That's why people often compare his style to amateurs. His style hasn't evolved to a pro one.

For a “great" fighter this dude sure has a lot of flaws. Just sayin'

Roach has trained him to be a Pacquiao-esque flurrying puncher. It works for Pacquiao because he can hurt you even with those kinds of flurries.
If Khan would just calm down, throw less, stick the jab and sit on his punches more - he'd be a pretty formidable fighter.
The Paulie Malignaggi fight is the blueprint for me. He beat Paulie basically with a stiff jab and eventually broke him down to the point where he could throw bigger combos n get the stoppage. That's when I believed Roach was doing the right things with him but they seemed to deviate from that towards the end...
If he could maintain his composure and stay calm, his offense would be much more accurate.

He has decent power.
His ring instincts/IQ and numerous technical flaws are the big issues, not his power.

I don't think anyone ever called khan great
He's GOOD though, 2 world titles and an Olympic silver, how many percentage of all the boxers out there can claim better? Maybe 1%
So yeah, good but not great
