true, but who really gives a shit, his fights are good to watch, and he captures the publics imagination with good self promotion, as a viewer thats all that really matters isn't it, what do you care if he can't defend himself or take a punch?

Soon to be Ex-Boxer.

He could have been one of those mainstream fighters everyone knows about in the UK, like Bruno, Benn, Eubank and more recently Hatton and eventually Calzaghe were, but in 2008 he took his fights to sky box office and since joining Freddie Roach has been fighting in America mostly, so that's cost him the exposure he used to have over here. Meanwhile, he's not become a big draw over in America, and after 2 losses including another embarassing knockout he's unlikely to. His stock's pretty low right now.

Khan chin is ok, Garcia just landed a well placed in his neck and timed shot, Khan did not even see it coming, them ones hurt the most.

That can happen to any fighter.

Son Stop with the Bullshit No Fighter see's the Knock Out Punch coming if So they would Get the Fuck out the Way or Block it!!!!

Stop acting as if the Garcia Punch was a Lucky punch Re-watch the whole he was trying to time Khan with that Punch the Whole Fight
Just like Mayweather Check hook Against Hatton.

He's becoming the new Audley Harrison.

Rico Spadafora · 08-05-2012, 09:05 AM

Wealthy? He makes like 2 mil a fight plenty of fighters make more than that and his last fight had more tickets given away for free than paid for

The guy is a Glass Jawed Fraud. And he can't fight. His career is over the ONLY people on here that think he is still relevant are the delusional Brits and people from a country that ends in 'stan.

I am not sure why all the hate for him. He seems like a genuine bloke and won an olympic medal which they don't give away. It is not his fault his management have over hyped him and compared to a lot of UK "World Champs" his record is reasonable and he is still young. He is entertaining to watch and has made a nice chunk of change so all the best to him.
