how people say he has good defense and footwork is beyond me to be honest

Those are his worst traits for sure. His footwork is a HUGE problem and it doesn't seem to be getting that much better. Chin seems to be improving a little bit though.

thats what im saying,hes a damn good fighter,but people are highly rating his weak points...his only defense is his offense,he has 0 head movement,no hip movement,and his footwork is sloppy as ****,other than that he's ok,but roach needs to focus on those traits especially sense his chin is suspect

power-6/10
skill-6/10
speed 8/10
defense-6/10
footwork-6/10
chin-5/10
heart-7/10
stamina-7/10


his chin is still suspect,power is good but not great,footwork is still sloppy imo but improving,and his defense is wide open

I agree with this the most, except I might change heart, power, and speed a little.

Skip to 1:23 on the video below, even sweat pea would have been proud of that. He should move his head more often he is capable of doing it! I disagree on the footwork part, it was pretty decent against judah.

WTF is with all these high marks in footwork? There's a big difference between footSPEED and footwork. Khan has good footspeed. Good footwork means putting yourself in the right positions for both offense and defense. He frequently stumbles over and gets too close to his opponent after throwing a right hand because his footwork and balance are so flawed. He constantly walked back in straight lines to the ropes against Maidana, who is far from a Chavez in cutting off the ring.

He looked better against Judah, but certainly not worthy of an 8 or a 9 (LOL).

Power- 6
Skill- 7
Speed- 10
Footwork- 6
Defense- 6
Chin- 6
Stamina- 8 (He'd probably be better if he fought more relaxed)

I don't know about heart, but he has shown me nothing to make me think he's anything but a 9 or 10 in that area. He's gutsy and also showed resilience in recovering from the Prescott fight.

Khan is starting to grow on me, I really respect how he's recovered from that loss and his recent level of opposition, but my god do a lot of you overrate him, or just get overly excited by speed.

for me, Khan needs work on his footwork and stamina, but this can come with better conditioning over the years, and his footwork can come through experience. he will have learned from the Judah and Maidana fights about footwork, the kid has alot to work on, but hes only young and has plenty of time. Hes no KO puncher, but the speed and technqiue is definetly there to be a respectable puncher no matter what weight hes at.

Big fan of Khan, he has stuff to work on, but he has time to work on it. For a 24 year old, hes advanced in his progress. I dont know another 24 year old in boxing as advanced as Khan is right now, and Amir still has a way to go

Khan's is an overated bum. He wants to fight Floyd. Floyd would walk up in his local mosque and make him crap his prayer rug. Khan ain't nothin'. Mod's want to censor me and I say "You all are beeeitches!"

this is just sad.
