Lets see Malignaggi is a fast punching counter puncher who gets out of the way of punches with a good jab to keep people at a distance and Khan sort of goes into a defensive shell when people throw and then throws back hoping they'll stand still and when they do his combos flurish. He is Juan Diaz without the proven chin and a lot faster with more power.

I actually think this is a bad style match-up for Khan, because Malignaggi could get off on that defense and be out of the way before Khan can throw his combination in return. Khan would have to fight outside of his style to beat Malignaggi. And in order to beat him he'd have to come forward, I don't see him out-countering him. Malignaggi may be a light puncher but he is as fast as Khan this could be a very good fight but its a bad style matchup for Khan. He'd do well against a Marquez type of style and defense, but Malignaggi is the kind of style he should stay away from.
