    How would you rate Amir khan's technique?

    I'd describe his style as, run around on the outside being not particularly elusive and most importantly NEVER moving his upper body.

    Then jumping in at regular intervals, planting his feet and throwing 6 or 7 low power shots insanely fast and then holding on to his opponent.

    How would you rate these tactics?

      Terrible tbh
      He was just blessed with such incredible handspeed it allowed him to overwhelm and fluster opponents. Put them in a shell really.

      In terms of technique I think he's very poor.
      Bad balance, hands already turned over, constantly pushing his punches I could go on all day I've never seen the supposed skills he supposedly possesses.
      Considering how awful his technique is and the fact he possessed zero ring I.Q, plan B and can't adjust or adapt I think even with the backing he had he's seriously overachieved.

        You shouldn't be winning an olympic silver and being a two weight world champion in any era really when you have little more than just blazingly fast hands. As much as I think he was handed a lot on a silver platter, fair play too him. I've dozens of far better boxers not achieve half as much as he has.
