I hear sparring sessions between khan and Pac man are hard to choose between the 2. Khan does better at the start and then Pac grinds him down at the end.
So Khan is a lucky son of a gun to be training with this type guy.Comment

We will only know if Khan has improved when he takes a hard shot flush on the chin and shrugs it off.Comment

Well he's not gona have gotten worse is he. Of course he's improving, question is how much. Sounds somewhat promiscing if this is what's being said by everyone round him out there, including Manny. And sparring well with that guy is going to help you.
Only complaint is, I think Khan needs to be in a harsher, less star stricken environment. He's too comfortable and naive which showed in the ring. He needs to toughen up and get the eye of the tiger, along with some defence, confidence and tactical ability.Comment

We will only know if Khan has improved when he makes opponents miss instead of taking hard shots flush on the chin.
Getting hit with hard shots flush is not a good thing at all.Comment

You can't learn chin. You are either born with the ability to take a shot or you aren't, and Mr. Khan I'm afraid was born with the need to wear a helmet. What will show improvement is if he can avoid being hit flush on the chin and take his time to carefully demolish his opponent. If not, he's going to be doing his jelly impression every time he comes up against a big-hitter.Comment
