    I think its more of power last night. Khan isn't even landing accurately - his percentage was terrible. There is also a lot of times he pulled back his punches while Zab is in full retreat.

      Woooooo the Ariza shakes medley. Who cares, man says he'll take the test, has been talking about fighting Floyd since he was a kid and he's gonna do it.

      Amir is a boxer, he's no politician, gameshow host, karaoke siger, movie star and part-time boxer.

      Khan is a three fights a year professional fighter.

        the only problem with Khan back then was his lack of defense, his hands were always too low, and his accuracy was not good. Roach has fixed up alot of Khans weaknesses, and they have taken all the bulk away from the top half of his body and put t on his legs

        Khan will take any test, he is with goldenboy and the Floyd fight will be made and all the olympic tests Floyd wants, Khan will be happy to do, it's nothing new to him.

        Khan is dying to fight Floyd, that all he talks about and i bet his dream is to beat him before Pac does
        Do you think he can maintain speed and power after OST? I know Mosley can't. I think this version of Khan has a good chance against Floyd. I'm not too confident to place a bet if there is OST.

          Yeah, it's called conditioning and a good game plan.

          Roach is getting seriously underrated for his Boxing IQ.

          He's gameplans make fighter's look amateurish and ******.

          Khan's ability to be in shape and execute gameplans to a T just make him look all the more dominating.

            Pakistan is next to Afghanistan, so Khan must be taking A-side coke.

              khan is slowly becoming a legend

              a warrior- yes, he had a rocky start (get it- rocky start)

              but now he's really come good- if he beats floyd before manny- they wil have to fight each other

              khan vs pacman

              dream fight- i'll support pacquiao but if khan wins i'll be happy

                I think you may be right with this one. It makes me think its not Khan that won the fight but Roach and Ariza.

                  Zab has a longer reach actually.

                  It is not easy to get on the inside of Khan, even Maidana didn't until Khan got hurt once for 1 minute.

                      I didn't know that Zab had a longer reach. You hit on my point though, you have to be able to get on the inside to beat Khan. It is a tough assignment but outboxing Khan is really not the way to go. You have to rough him up and force your way inside and beat him with short shots. You have to be really aggressive and force the issue, Zab didn't do that.
