        I agree, can you name any more fighters which use the same form of defense?

          no, but he has a belt so what do i know?
          uses a high guard but hes mostly on the move using his feet to maintain distance and get out of harms way. he goes through long stretches of running.

          i disagree that khan's main defense is a turtle shell, especially under roach.
          roach has him on the move to keep him out of punching range. i think he'll fight similarly to yuri in the future if/when he finally steps in the ring with a dangerous puncher.
          yep, i think khan will transform into a runner.

            I have never seen Floyd get hurt...LOL

            Look I don't like Floyd the man very much but Floyd the fighter is a phenomenon.

            the way he moved against Hatton, Castillo II and DLH was very, very impressive. He may not be as herky jerky as Martinez but he moves in and out of distance extremely well.

                    Mayweather, Pac, Martinez and Foreman come to mind.
