Kahn's Next Improvement

[Gocougars3]

That is a very good breakdown of Khan. My son (amateur boxer) and I were having the same conversation yesterday. Khan is athletic and punches well at a distance but most of those shots tend to be glancing blows or hyper extended punches. His feet out run his hands and he doesn't maintain his distancing to land any blows in the pocket. He is a great athlete but we are not sure he trust his chin enough to hit and risk being hit at optimum range. He is quick and a handful at a distance but might not trust himself enough to trade with a high level guy. As a result his fights aren't high drama. I don't think anyone but the top 2 can beat him.

What a great way of putting it!
