khan k0d him twice as an amateur.....
i think khan is far more talented than any 140 fighter, has better speed, power, movement and the lot. but he looks to have a poor chin, i wouldnt pick him to beat top 140 fighters due to the chin factor...
stoppage does not = KO
also, as the old adage goes "amateurs dont mean sht in the pros." its easier to throw punches in bunches when you have the benefit of headgear.
im not sold on his power at 140 and his footwork/movement is not natural.
no
victor ortiz is

What do you mean by "gifted"? He has immense physical assets but he doesn't strike as the most gifted boxer I ever saw. His ring IQ is low, he's very mechanical and he often suffers lapses in concentration.
quality shout
If Ortiz can shake off that loss and get back to where he was last year he will own everyone at 140...he's got accurate punching power and never misses his targets...And has surpassed athletic physique..
Zab Judah at 140 even now has better physical skills.
forgot about him. you're probably right, barring a lot of slippage.
judah's got a 10 cent brain and the heart of a robot, but there's no denying that he's one of the most physically gifted fighters of all time.
Bradley and Alexander are argueably more talented than him. Ortiz isn't on that list imo.
you must not know the meaning of physical talent then.
ortiz is the biggest, strongest, hardest punching and most naturally athletic fighter at 140.

he has height and hand speed for a 140 lb'er. thats about it. i completely agree with the bolded part though.
hes lucky he linked up with a good trainer early on. he wouldve ended up another jermain taylor...better athlete than natural boxer.
I don't see what the hype is about khan...he's overrated compared to the other fighters..even urango has a better resume...he hasn't shown a shocking performance...he's got ok power and ok speed...I think Roach makes Khan overrated...Had khan never cashed out Koltelnik for a tittle shot we would be seeing Ortiz as the WBA champ and Khan would be taking cautious fights at 140...but because he won the bid against gbp for tge koltelnik fight he is now the world champ and is dedending it against light punchers...smh...if I was Ortiz I'd be calling that fraud out for shitting him out of a tittle shot
I can agree with you about his power although i think his power is decent but Khan doesn't have"ok" speed. His handspeed is awesome. it's his best weapon.
Khan is talented and is argueably the most talented fighter at 140 but certainly not by far.
Bradley and Alexander are argueably more talented than him. Ortiz isn't on that list imo.
you can have all the skills in the world, but theres no way to train a weak chin. thats his one prolem. his only hope is to protect that chin, which means he needs to tighten up that defense.

Benavidez already beats him in sparring and the kid is only going to get better every day.
From what Freddie Roach says the are "dead even" thats hardly beating him
I would say hes the most talented by far.
If he had an iron chin hed wax every 140 Pounder.
