    He has good range of punches

    Has a good jab for the first 6 rounds before he seems to lose it as he gets a bit tired

    He is good at tying people up now Thanks for hunter

    His footwork in and out is very good and add that with his speed and his speed is really good faster than any other guy at his weight you get a good boxer

    His weaknesses are his laziness when he gets tired he is open to shots and his head movement is pretty poor too imo

    And of course his chin is there to be shattered if someone lands clean which should not happen now but you never know

    He can easily win a decision vs anyone and that includes pacman or mayweather due to him being quicker and him doing the hit and hold tactic

    That's my opinion

    But God he is a pr disaster

      That's not how boxing works chief.

        Compared to Floyds 150 punches that landed most of them being non-scoring shots but you know how things go score shots that don't land for the moneywhore.
        Floyd was 37 years old..Khan was in his early 20's i would hope he would land and throw more

          Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

          No steady jab.
          No inside game.
          No counter punching.
          Terrible defense.
          Zero upper body movement.
          No existent head movement.

          He throws combinations............................. but he usually makes sure he keeps his gloves low away from his head, which leads to overhand rights and counter left hooks landing flush.

          He has fast feet................ but it's not like he uses it well to set up any of punches and set the opponent into traps. He just walks around.

          All you hear is speed speed speed. Probably why Oscar picked him. Thought he was a fellow crackhead.

              He is naturally athletic to an elite level. He has length and extreme speed which is a very difficult combination to deal with. Its 3 natural assets that he has of fast hands, fast feet, and length. To add to this he pretty much has every punch in the book, if there was a shot he doesn't throw well I would say its a right hook. He is sound in a lot of areas, people just don't give him the credit. He is good and above average in a lot of areas

              Apart from that I think the thing which is most overlooked with fighters is there mentality. He has a winners mentality and an incredible fighting spirit, a lot of fighters don't have that even some world champions. The guys that have it are notoriously difficult to beat. Khan has it in abundance, even this weekend, Canelo will have to pin him to the canvas, he won't quit and won't be stopped unless he is out cold or the ref or corner save him from himself. Danny Garcia is also a winner through and through, Tim Bradley, these guys have winning mentalities but aren't necessarily the best of the best.

                  Floyd has never been known as a volume puncher though. He rarely threw punches in bunches. He was methodical and conservative with his punches. He might only throw 35 a round but he was landing 20 of those 35. While others would throw 100 and only land about 10.

                    And not to mention he compared a 23 year old Khan to a 37 year old Mayweather
