To talk of Khan battering anyone above domestic and dodgy european level strikes me as funny.
He battered Ortiz in the amatuers. He gave him 3 standing counts. He's well capable of battering plenty of decent level fighters. He's also capable of getting ko'd himself. To me that's a good thing. Makes him exciting. That's the reason i watch Boxing. So i'm happy.


Khans speed, power, agility etc just cannot be brought into question. He won silver in athens (won the rematch easily) has already been in with genuinely decent opponents that he has made light work of and has even been taken on by the worlds best trainer who doesnt take on losers.

Without question his chin has been a concern right from the start and the prescott fight highlighted that perfectly. If you dont have punch resistance at 135/140 your not going to get anywhere. Roach can teach khan not to get hit as much but he cant teach him how to take a punch.

Khan has the ability, he doesnt have the punch resistance. What will win out in the coming years is to be seen
