No, Khan is not all that overrated, certainly not on my part. I actually think he is a decent boxer when it comes to what he does well, but he is hideously flawed in the areas in which he doesn't do well. His handspeed and output is commendable, but his inside game and getting away technique leaves a lot to be desired. He is also incredibly stupid and doesn't listen to his corner. It's like Zelenoff with skills at times.
He is a belt level fighter, but he will never build up a number of defences nor be considered truly elite. There are too many belts these days, so it isn't as though he would go down as anything special.
Still, he is young. But Roach really hasn't brought all that much to his game.
Whether you agree with the decision or not, and inept ref aside, Khan lost the fight Saturday. Contrary to what some of you might believe this loss doesn't help his credibility or market value, there's also a good chance that Peterson would win a rematch.
I believe Khan loses to Bradley, Rios, and maybe even Alexander, want me to go on Ono?
