What is your guys opinion about Amir Khan's dodging skills?

[AnimalisticMeth]

He makes prime Pernell Whitaker look like a punching bag.


WTF what a joke thread

Not as good as Floyd's...oh wait you mean defense?

that's what i was thinking!!

[frosty-g]

definitely improved. . . but i still don't feel like his defensive elusiveness match his hand and foot speed. . . it's like his reflexes are slightly behind his explosive speed. . .

but he's still just so fast in general he's good. . . and he's been improving with each fight. . .

it's easier to do things quickly when there is no real thinking going on, as when khan just throws a whole load of punches with his already fast hands. can't defend very well without using your brain though. khan really isn't a thinking boxer anyway so doubly bad in this area.

that said, he certainly has improved his tactical game from not having one to being able to follow what roach instructs him to do between each round. he'll never be like a calzaghe or someone though, able to figure out his opponent and make his own adjustments for example. i just don't think he has it in him.
