      well if he was boxing instead of brawling then maybe his defense would shine brighter?

        He was boxing against a way past prime Collazo and still got stunned, hurt and had his faced bruised up... He wasn't brawling with Garcia but got countered and dropped... Prescott wasnt brawling with him hell the fight only lasted 90 seconds and he got dropped 2 times...Khan has terrible defense period. Sure he has speed and looks flashy but he honestly is not that good at all

          Khan does not roll punches, he does not slip punches, he either stands there with a high guard and blocks them, uses his legs and runs back in a straight line or he gets hit flush

            Part if the reason he brawls is because he doesn't not have very good endurance. Not like it is a choice.

                I think RH is just being a touch generous to a fellow Brit.

                Khan IS a much better boxer than a brawler, but...

                He still has shortcomings as a complete boxer (inside game) and all you have to do is touch his chin once and he's in trouble.

                Khan did well against Collazo, I thought he would struggle, but he is far from an 'A' level WW.

                  Khan has only been defeated a couple times, so what's the big deal?

                    it doesn't matter if he boxes or brawls, all that matters is if that porcelain chin gets tested, ask Prescott.

                      Khan has only just lost a couple of times? and 1 was very early in his career So what's the big deal?

                      That PEDerson BS loss doesn't count Khan won that fight.

                      Also Khan outboxed Mario Kindlen at the age of 18 just after Olympics and Mario Kindlen was like the Floyd Mayweather Jr. of Amateurs that time.
