Khan What Next

[TheMacMagician]

I think a change of trainers WILL make a difference for him. He still has time to learn more about the art of defense, and a great team to learn that from is Ward / Hunter. He needs to learn how to protect that chin, a little less offense, and also how to fight better on the inside, which he currently has very low ability in. 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.

If all goes to plan Khan will have one or two fights at 140 against nonpunchers he can beat while Hatton gets one or two wins. Then they meet in a massive earner for both of them.

Khan can't really fight any top welters due to his chin. I'm guessing Golden Boy feed him one or two guys he can beat and somehow get him some kind of belt before Khan and Hatton both cash in.

[Tam Seddon]

He needs to stay on the outside and stick and move, get in and get out and not get involved in a war. He has the ability to box and cause any fighter problems with his speed. He can hurt fighters by boxing like that and he needs to be more patient by fighting that way. He would find openings by fighting like this and would have a better chance of winning fights.

He needs a fight back home IMO, I reckon Theopane wouldn't be a bad fight for him.

Khan seem's to get drawn,into a brawl trouble is for all his fight plan discipline goes out the window,
he is a very good boxer and a half descent puncher. So in all he's a pretty good fighter, but when he
gets beat he cant take the blame, its the trainers fault never his own.
When he open's his mouth, he makes himself look a Plonker.

Did he not brag when 23, about retiring at 28 as world champ.

Well he is bang on to retire, not really world class anyway.

Fighters should not predict when they will retire, it always goes wrong. Haye, Hopkins, Benn are some fighters I know who made these predictions and never saw them through. Khan needs to fight in the UK next and forget US but it may be Ortiz.

Also Khan is world class.
