    Khan hasn't improved, he's just a more cautious fighter with an amateur style picking on midgets & static, flat footed fighters.

    This is where Peterson fits in, too try debunk this fact & the only reason this fight is interesting is because of Petersons height/reach but reality is Peterson can't particularly box well at range & he can only get inside if you let him, to top it all off he is feather fisted.

    Khan outboxes Peterson easily I'm afraid & as fragile as I reckon Khans chin is I'm not even sure Peterson particularly has a punchers chance.

    Khan is a fast starter that fades in the mid rounds, Peterson don't even get started for 5-6 rounds. Peterson likely rallies back late on & takes a few of the later rounds providing he's being competitive enough to not get stopped.

      He has improved. Caution is an improvement in itself.

      Barry Mcguigan complained Khan never puts his hands up. He does now. That is an improvement.

      His Jab is much stiffer.

      He rolls with shots.

      He holds on when in danger. Before, he would just get up etc and be a target, now.

      Khan resets himself, which helps conserve energy and play to his advantage, if speed.

      His footwork, balance, chin and concentration go up and down. They need work.

Your response implies Khan is an Elite fighter and i think he is overrated. That is also why I think the fight will be compelling. Add to that the only thing Khan has talked about the last month ios who he is fighting next and his move to welterweight. All this together could spell upset. Not to mention Peterson has the edge of experience. Who has Khan been in with that is on the level of Ortiz or Bradley?
        Bump dilly umpski!!!

                He looked a lot thicker than Khan on fight night. How much did he weigh on fight night?

                    I told everyone Peterson was very live and a test to see if he could beat a boxer,i never knew he would do the opposite be the aggresor,those body shots he hit Khan with will hamper khan throughout his career they were thudding and won him the fight.
