Of course it's like watching a volatile explosive you dont know wtf is gonna happen it can always go either way if you touch the wrong spot too roughly he blows up.

The only boring snorefest Khan fight i can recall was the Paul McCloskey fight where Paul was tucked up in a shell while Khan was throwing hundreds of punches so that was not his fault the guy did not want to engage.

He was exciting when he was with roach but now all he does is punch, push, then hold.

One of the most exciting actually.

I voted no. I think Khan brings about an average level of excitement to most fights. When he fights a good fighter who comes at him hard he does lots of holding, running and pushing as in his fights with Maidana and Peterson. In those fights I thought Peterson and Maidana brought most of the excitement to the fight. Sometimes Khan can be exciting as in the Judah and Paulie fights and sometimes he is not exciting. Overall I'd rate him average for excitement.

You just convinced me to vote no.

Exciting within the ring or not?

Well, he use to be an exciting fighter until he got with Hunter. Now he's boring and has become a clinch machine. Like Ward. Only thing about him is he can get clocked n maybe hit the deck a few times in a fight.

yes. i love watching him reel around the ring.

peterson, maidana, were classic fights.

hell, even garcia was a freakishly fun fight.

watching khan go on bambi legs and start throwing back is one of the more exciting things you can do as a boxing fan.

dude is exciting. he is vulnerable to offense, has very good offense himself, and he has a crap chin.
