    in his first fight i see what you mean about looking like an amateur,maybe the first couple,but as time has gone on i can see what he has been working on in the gym,his foot movement has become alot faster,his power,straight shots to the body alot more not just head hunting,he has stopped taunting,he doesnt stick his chin out anymore......

    things i think he needs to improve are - holding his gloves a little higher,which is something that can be debated,many great fighters do extremely well with the style of holding there gloves low,but it will leave him open to shots. leaning back from shots,i think thats a dangerous move,if you get caught off balance like that there is a good chance ur gonna go down hard shot or not.
    flurries,when he has drilzane in the corner and he was throwing a big flurry,he looked abit messy,he didnt cover up after he finished throwing the shots,and to be honest he looked abit girly lol,but that can be worked on.

    khan is a very good prospect,hes stepping up somewhat in his next fight and i cant wait to see it,with a good team in his corner and a good trainer and dedication which he has,along with the talent,he can be 1 of the great british fighters,i just hope he doesnt waste it.


    Defence, not defense. Please don't use American spellings, they're gay.

      yeah them flurries are jk. n he throws lil pitty pat punches tha makes him look a bit girly.
      well lets hope so he does gd. i think he wants to move up in competition to early but i dont think frank will let him as knows he aint ready. there are a lot more things he needs to work on and it can take very long. his inside fighting for example is terrible, really needs to something about that before he steps up to the next level.
      hopefully he learns from his next fight and also i think a better trainer may be usefull to teach him new things as he seems to be doing the same things.

                  So many people WANT to see Khan hit the canvas. He's knocking his opponents out very quickly and has already shown he can last out in later rounds. He's only 20 and still improving. I think Khan is going to be world champion when he's 21.

                      I dont see why anyone WOULD want him to hit the canvas. He seems like a nice personable local lad, he isnt overly arrogant like Naz or Harrison. He isnt claiming to be the best in the world. He is paying his dues and taking his time. He is fighting regularly, giving enough respect to his opponents and is doing the job in the ring all the while admitting that he is learning as he is going along. He isnt a fake, he has talent, anyone with a brain can see that. He isnt even overly hyped as virtually nobody outside of the boxing world and the UK know who he is. Everyone who has met him outside of the Ring says that he is a nice enough guy who is simply working hard to try and fulfil his potential. He never asked to be thrust into limelight and the public eye, it was his incredible boxing at the Olympics that caught people's attention.

                      I can only see wanting him to get KOed at this stage in his career as jealousy To be perfectly honest.
