Khan with a chin still sucks, just not quite as much. I still cannot believe the amount of "Khan's style is a nightmare for (insert name here)" and anyone who thinks Khan's "style" is good doesn't know what they are talking about. For starters Khan does not even have a style. He is that bad.
Khan's fundamentals are way off and it is evident that as a youngster he relied on his speed to win amateur bouts and never had to perfect his technique because he could score points without good basics.
I will be the First to say Khan Khan is one of the fastest LWW fighters I have ever seen but that is half of the problem, he relied on it too much when learning the game and now he is stuck with bad technique and a poor understanding of the game.
His footwork is some of the absolute worst I have ever witnessed, he can't fight coming forwards or backwards. When he is coming forwards, he starts from really far out and then literally jumps in throwing two shots at the same time trying to land a combo. That is not how you box, you can't just land combos at will, it takes setting up, if you do try without setting it up then you get timed which is what always happens then he gets hurt and starts going backwards and that is when it just becomes embarrassing. He starts moon-walking and bouncing around like a pogo stick.
His punches are terrible, he never turns his wrists, he never gets full rotation and he starts the punch from the wrong angle. Basically he sucks chin or no chin.
