Amir Khan has become the most overrated fighter on this site.

Khan's got a respectable collection of wins. He's recovered nicely since the Prescott massacre.
I don't think too highly of his skills though. He still seems to be getting by largely on his physical gifts and his skills are very unrefined. No inside game, flawed footwork, poor defense. Obviously his round 1 bodyshot that dropped Maidana was terrific, and I did like the way he caught Maidana with some short right uppercuts (I think round 8) as Maidana was coming in.
I don't expect him to be anything more than a decent champ though. Some people think of him as being this "thing of the future" and I don't see it. He had a distinguished amateur career and still is sloppy and makes these fundamental errors. Despite his speed, not much else impresses me. Sure you can say, "well he's only 24 and he has Roach, look at Manny before, etc...". Well expecting someone to be like Manny Pacquiao, he's most likely going to wind up short.Comment
