PROPS TO KHAN.................

[Autobarn]

khan showed a great jab vs a guy who is hard to hit. it was a solid night's work but it was not spectacular. khan doesn't seem to have a very good right hand. he seems more of a virgil hill type of fighter (ama pedigree, jab and mover, lop sided style favouring one hand) than a sugar ray leonard style of fighter. he did show signs that he could fight with variety, such as the body shots in one of the middle rounds, but that was only in one round. it was a mature performance and khan can continue to be successful. but it's not a performance to justify the superlatives that are being thrown around in some places.

Paulie isn't that hard to hit, Cotto certainly found his chin plenty, as did Hatton.

he's pretty awkward and elusive. not easy to tag with more than 1 shot at a time. cotto did have some problems in that fight, though he did land some great shots.

Supermiddles .. very average guys. One or two who may be already past their best ..
