Hunter and Ward can help him with all of that.

Khan also needs to learn how to get in and out a little quicker IMO, by maybe putting together one or two less punches at a time. I know he's very quick, but putting so many punches together in one combo actually just makes him slower and more open when he's letting go, the gaps are there for a larger amount of time, and thats what Garcia seemed to capitalise on. Just let your shots go when Khan opens up his light punching combos of five or six shots. He can really help himself defensively if he keeps the 5 and 6 punch combinations to a minimum and only when his opponent is in a poor position to provide anything in counter. you'll rarely see Ward putting that many shots together in one go, he's far too smart defensively for that

Hopefully that isn't a bunch of rubbish. Going on my prediction scores this week it may well be..
The thing is his opponents, no they have a good chance of beating him, were doe's Khan go he has to face top opposition.Let's face it not all are feather fisted,if he moves up in weight they will punch harder. So he is between a rock and a hard place, may be a fight with Hatton if he is successful in his
comeback, some were down the line.It's a fight the Brits would watch,and would make the both a lot of money.
He needs to learn how to defend his chin better. Hit and not get hit. And he needs to learn what to do on the inside or up against the ropes rather than just freezing and cover up. Maidana and Peterson both smashed him up when on the inside and Garcia let the punches fly when Khan opened up on 5 and 6 punch combos when he's chin is dangling about like a carrot unprotected.

He has the speed, reflexes and athleticism to still mix it with the top 10 if he defends himself better and uses his quick feet for better angles rather than running backwards or freezing against ropes.
