    Spot on

    Whenever Khan fights i always have this sense of fear - one punch and the momentum will all turn against Amir. And that's what makes him so entertaining to watch

    He's also either brilliant or absolutely maddening. The first couple of rounds where he was outboxing Peterson were great, and at times he was turning away at angles brilliantly. And then occasionally he'd just put his earmuffs on and take shots, and i was like 'goddamit Amir - MOVE!'. I also always felt if Khan really wanted to he could have hurt Lamont, but he just seemed content to run around (i have to admit he ran in spots)

    That moonwalk he did was hilarious too. NO other boxer could run like that and still be exciting

    War Amir

          I'm indifferent towards him. I simply can't bring myself to hate somebody I don't know and who hasn't affected me personally. He shows a lot of potential due to his hand speed and punching power but the guy has a lot to work on if he ever wants to be considered elite. His inside game is basically non existent and it's clear he gets tired as rounds progress. He also needs to work on his head movement. I think the media hype Khan gets and admiration from his people is blowing his ego out of proportion. If he doesn't fix all these things soon he's going to lose again and possibly get KO'd.

          That's just my two cents.
