    Amir Khan's talent?

    I've heard so many ex-boxers/boxers say Amir Khan has a lot of talent. But what is this talent they go on about? I mean, he's got speed, and decent accuracy, but apart from that what is this talent they talk about?

      Its mostly athletic, exceptionally fast hands and good mobility. He also has natural attacking flair, can throw all manner of shots and is a tremendously accurate puncher. It's a real shame he can't take a punch, or implement a sound technical style because if he could he could be a real force.

        As an amateur obviously pretty high. He lacks some of the necessary elements as a pro however.

          He has everything he needs for a complete offensive package. Speed, power, accuracy, his punching is technically very good. He is simply compromised by his eggshell chin in a way that will make it hard for him to succeed. He could get by if he were to adopt a more defensive style but as a defensive boxer he'd be an average professional.

            i don't know

            i'm sure it's most athletic

            his technical ability is poor

            clumsy footwork, bad guard, slow to bring his hands back after he throws a big punch, slow upper body and head movement
