'Traditionally' Khan does better against defensive fighters...

[Tom Cruise]

I actually liked Khan's performance vs Diaz minus the knockdown, which seems to be the only thing this forum saw in that fight. Khan picked his shots well and was calm instead of his usual "uhh ush ush ush" b.s.

Khan was born with that speed and it will always be there ofcourse with age it will diminish. Hunter is teaching him to be accurate and efficient with it.

The way I saw it was that he looked calm and picked his spots, which was good, but he also was still making basic mistakes leaving himself open when he threw punches, which was bad.

I think the fact that Diaz isnt especially good let him off a little in that fight. There were holes everywhere.

do you think the reason Khan gets caught in between his own shots is that he simply isn't punching hard enough?

I don't recall Kotelnik and Zab doing it to him and they are good counter-punchers.

It is his technique or lack of it. Khan keeps his hands up just before he engages in a flurry then drops them and is really open. If you watch him in slow motion you will see how open he is and the fact he gets countered so easily is not a coincedence. The fists should travel to the target and back to the start positions giving some protection (watch Ward) Khan's don't they drop down leaving his face and chin exposed.

His natural speed will always be there, it is being confused and in 2 minds that will slow him down and make him hezitant if anything.Under Roach he was flawed but confident and his speed let him get away with a lot but he was also fighting smaller men where he had a height and reach advantage which really aided his style.

good points.

Khan will probably beat Collazo because Callazo is not very good but he is in the limelight for his KO of Ortiz. Khan is not very good these days and looked much better a few years ago. Khan has no chance to beat Mayweather in my opinion. He is not a big enough puncher to even have a puncher's chance like Maidana.

collazo's win over ortiz, and the attention it brought, are the reason hunter/khan has picked this match-up. an opportunity to win against a "name" at welter - even though collazo isn't one of the top welters!

He does better vs smaller fighters.

Good stuff.
