Khan has found his level

both khan and garcia will have fought judah but not matthysse boxing!

Remember this was supposed to be a confidence booster, they matced him well so he looked pretty good but didn't show anything new IMO! We will have to see when he fights top guys again. yup...khan didn't show anything new. maybe he looked slightly faster, but other than that he was still being reckless as usual and getting caught with clean punches...matching him up with garcia next would be a horrible move.

i suggest he takes a few easy fights to ensure hunters advice becomes naturally embedded into his instinct instead of it being forced. only that way will khan improve and we'll see a new fighter. it takes more than 8 weeks to improve 7 years worth of frailties. have 3/4 easier fights over the next 18 months, then give the big boys another go. if he steps into the ring with a top fighter too soon it'll be lights out.

I know Khan is saying he has shown massive improvment etc but I didnt see anything new. He looked exceptional at this level though. Molina was a lightweight, who wasnt even a puncher at that. Against these types of guys Khan will look amazing and dominate. Like he did against Malignaggi. I am the level of a giant khans a level of a munchkin

FFS, what were you expecting to see? He's had ONE training camp with Hunter; he's not going to change overnight. Molna was a 5ft4 non punching lightweight. That fight was supoosed to be a confidence booster.

This right here. Same thing with Berto.. Berto is just terrible but yeah kinda sorta like Berto...

I agree. I thought Khan fought a good poised fight against an overmatched opponent. His hand speed is definitely impressive, but he still throws those pitty pat kind of punches like an amateur. Also, although he was calmer, he still fights too frantic for my tastes. That's why he gets knocked out. He doesn't pace himself well. He throws five punches when he should throw three and leaves himself wide open. Like a good power puncher, he's in love with his ability and probably believes his hand speed is the end all be all. If he can refine his technique and be a bit more methodical with his approach, he could climb back up and beat some top guys. But as of now, he gets knocked out again by anyone with heavy hands and good boxing skills. Matthysse comes to mind.

I've always said he will always shine against plodders and defensive midgets. I'm not sure its a coincidence Khan has fought 3 guys his own size and lost every time. You put him in with your McCloskeys, Malignaggi's of the world, he will look a million dollars. People are just blinded by his handspeed. I'm not sure why he is still held in high regard, people/British media should focus their attention to a real fighter like Carl Froch. Khan looked amazing last night. As you said, he's one of those guys who'll look like a superstar versus certain types of fighters. That's partly why Amir's developed a following. But I have a feeling Khan will never live up to his promise. A new trainer and some small changes might give his fans hope, but I think Amir will always fall just short when really challenged.

Vs small guys like Taylor who was a 160'er, Abraham etc he looks good or wins. He has to face old guys like Johnson to look impressive or chinny guys like Bute.

Theres starting to be a lot of parallels with him and Judah. People will probably be talking more about what if he just had a chin or defense. Actually they already have some. Just like there are always what if threads with Judah. People see amazing hand speed and think that should make them an ATG but its not. Its a very good thing to have but if there are a lot of other *****s in their arsenal then slower better fighters will find a way to get through every time.

Was way too quick for Judah and dominated Maidana, who had what 2 rounds over him. Maidana beat Khan to a pulp. That beating was savage. To say he got dominated is stupid.

I was thinking same thing last night. Dude hasnt learned anything new, after he finishes his 3-4punch combo he just stands there with his hands down and chin up, there were a few moments I thought AK was gonna get knocked out. He needs to learn not to do that, he will die if they put him in with a heavy handed counter puncher
