By Scott Bells: Former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) still has lots to accomplish in the sport, and can become world champion once again.
Yes, Khan still has momentary lapses where he admires his fast combinations as he steps back and leaves himself open to a counter (the fights against Danny Garcia, Carlos Molina and Julio Diaz all show this). However, he IS improving and becoming more patient in the ring.
Having watched the Diaz fight, it made me think that he needs to go back in with a top level pressure puncher and show his improvements now that he is a couple fights in with new trainer Virgil Hunter. I say this because he has fought a number of pressure punchers and looked in control before struggling later on in fights.
