    'You know what I mean'? He keeps saying that all the time and I'LL knock him out.

    Barry Macguigan is by far the best boxing pundit around.

      Seriously, Khan's style isnt good enough,

      He concentrates too much on offense and doesnt pay attention enough to what his opponent is doing, his counter timing is off, which leaves him open, he leans in too much, i see too oppertunitys to hit him, jabs, right hands,

      He needs to change his style, less punches, he's gotta pace himself for 12 rounds, and not go to knock people out in 3 rounds, he just doesnt have the stamina yet.

      He has plenty of heart tho, he needs to make some defences of this title, and no world title shot anytime soon, guys like casamayor would hurt him real bad.

        With a fighter of his type, those are always the last things to develop. Hopefully this will be the wake up call for him to concentrate on them more.

          Good points, but a lot of people forget he's still a baby in boxing terms, he has an age to iron out some defects in his style.

                Wow what a fight! Firstly Khan showed amazing heart to come back from the brink. In the 7th round some of the combinations he was throwing were world class and he also showed improved punching power. But you cant get away from the fact he did the funky chicken due to a light hitting fighter. Khan is packing glass for sure and the day he faces a real puncher he is in a world of trouble.

                  Limond's face was pretty ****edup, he has got his nose broken, lips cut and eyes swollen badly, his face was covered with blood before Khan knocked him down in the 7th and start pounding on him in the 8th.

                  Heart, Stamina, Power, Speed

                  His chin still is'nt tested IMO, i think he needs some time he has only had 13 pro fights, if they rush him it will be another vargas... i say 20-0 and then he can go for a world title (7 fights which would happen in about 18 months probably).

                  Still though Limond is a decent fighter, and Amir fought him in his 13th pro fight.

                      Oh yeah, but he was talking about a world title very soon, he should forget that, i hope his trainers do the right thing and sort of his defense, its not good enough for this level, audley was the same, for years you could see the same flaws, he could cope with someone get under his jab, khan's problem is quite simply when he cant hit and hurt guys, its too much of the same old 3/4punch combo's,

                      And by the way guys, Hatton mayweather isnt gonna happen it looks like, i can put up the link why later on in time, but ricky will only do it at 140, his dad said so apparently, that fight looks like its not happening.
