Its boxing....

Even the legends lost fights and came back....

Typical british by the sounds of it... love em when they at the top, but as soon as they lose... they become total crap!! and everyone juumps on the hate wagon.. tut tut

But inshAllah he will come back with a BETTER DEFENCE one hopes 🙂

But haters need to quit hating and MOVE ON!

Peace!

Absolutely no doubting it, Amir Khan is washed up. I have watched boxing weekly since i was about 12 and am now 26, having already watched all of Khan's previous fights I and anyone else that had; knew he was gonna be spectacularly knocked out and unfortunately (I really did want him to succeed!)against Breidis Prescott it was very likely as soon as the fighters were matched!

He will win his next 10 fights as again he will be pitted against past it fighters with little or no punch and a far less entertaining Khan will keep out the way of the punches; as much as he can, but the very next time he takes a hit on the temple he will go again.

At the end of the day this is the only formula I know:

Most gifted fighter in the world but no chin = No Hope like Khan
Not particularly gifted but good chin & heart = A chance
Incredibly gifted and a great chin/heart (as in can recover) = Great Champion like Joe Calzaghe/Floyd Mayweather Jr.

I really did want him (khan) to be a world champ, after all i think he seems a good guy, but it will never happen.... wish it could tho!

Yes he won and was not really challenged, but Amir Khan's Glass chin was not tested either.

There is always going to be the suspicion that a single punch can floor him at any time no matter how well he is doing.

Ofcourse that can happen to anyone, but its being built into his reputation now.
