May 15th: The decade of Khan begins

[DR.ORGYY]

War paulie!!!!!!

When was Khan almost ko'd by Willie Limond? When he stopped him and broke his jaw and nose. Oh yeah.

How does that change the fact Limond had him shook up and in survival mode in the 6th?


Just sayin'.

War paulie!!!!!!

Yes, Bossman!!!!!!

Khan is athletically gifted and works hard, but he has inherent problems that i don't think he can solve, or at least can't improve a whole load; his fottwork is terrible, he's very linear/robotic, and he has zero ring IQ.

Someone like Paulie with good speed, lateral movement, and a host of tricks up the sleeve, has the potential to make a speedy 1-2 artist look very limited.

If Paulie can't cope with the speed and Khan's offence he'll fold, but if he can get his jab going, start moving, getting Khan to miss etc, then I think he has potentialto take a decision, while making khan look foolish.

Nope, but just before that.

Nice analysis.


I agree to degrees with the bold, I've been saying similarly for a time. He can, and has, improve(d) on all those to a point, but I don't think the window for improvement is that great given his athletic and cerebral limitations.

Khan's a fine athlete for what he does, and I've seen him praised a lot for his athleticism, but his is a stiff, limited athleticism in a boxing context IMO.

Yeah, you put it better than I did certainly.

I agree he's improved, but like you say, I just see inherent behaviours and limitations in him that lead me to beilieve he's near to peaking in those facets.

I'm very stoked for this fight tonight
