the biggest myth is the weak chin imo. his biggest problem without a doubt is his own total lack of punching power. he took so many off maidana and never went down and same with peterson. im not saying hes got a good chin but its not as bad as ppl make out. he just seems to have basically no core strenght and cant fight on the inside. guys walk im down now knowing full well there is nothing in his fists to trouble them

i like everyone else also fink hes a wankka but imo he can quite easily win another world title. he would get beat by matthyse probly kod but there are fights out there 4 him still i mean it wudnt surprise me to see him fight junior witter next then beat mallignaggi for mallignaggis welterweight title. like that ppl dnt rate garcia i have a feeling hes on the upgrade big time.

See where you're coming from Oli, but having a daft world title doesn't make you world clas these days. Think the thread starter is suggesting he'll never be in line for a super fight with Floyd etc ever again

I don't think fighting Paulie Malignaggi again would happen, because it would be such an obviously weak-ass move that he would generate a mountain of criticism about protecting his chin by facing total non-punchers. I think he'll stay at light welter and face people along the lines of Humberto Soto (older, beatable) and Brandon Rios (up and coming but hittable). I agree with Duke - super fights are not realistic. But there is a world level that Khan can still operate in, with some care and luck.

One of the things I think went wrong with Khan is tactically he made a terrible choice to not grab hold for dear life when tagged. In his mind there was that over-confidence in his punching power and he tried to bang his way out of trouble. I don't think Khan is really a big puncher, especially when he forces it and tries too hard. He needs a defensive overhaul to go with that reality check he just had.
