    We all know his jaw is weak. He's lost 2 in a row one being controversial. He gets KOd by Garcia who had a hard time beating a washed up Morales. Its gonna take him a while to get back to this level. Maybe he ought to work on his defense and ego. Or maybe he should just retire. Im thinking retire.

    I don't think he *should* retire - but if he came out and said that he had reached the highest level he was capable of, made some good money, and won some world titles, and was happy to retire with those achievements, I would think that was a sensible enough decision.

    Don't think it's likely though. Expect to hear about plans to fight whoever the top dog is after another 3-4 comeback fights.

    no.

    but now we can say pretty definitively hes not a hof fighter. hes not a top 10 p4p fighter. and probably wont be either of those things.

    but hes still pretty talented. he makes more than a mill/fight and hell make that much back in europe fighting bums. if he adopts a safety first style and works off the jab and tightens up his defense he might do well. if hes matched carefully and if he finally stops believing his own hype he could make it back. zab did.

    Anyone who says no is just a hater. Amir can improve his defence. Hell, he can improve his chin too with the right training. He needs Roach to improve his defence first and foremost.

    No.

    He's still a young man and he's a tremendous athlete.

    If he gets the right team together, works on his defence A LOT, stops trading heavily in fights i think he has a realistic chance of being world champion again at some point.

    He's gotta learn to protect that china chin though, guy trades shots like he's got marvin hagler's jaw. crazy fool

    Not a HOF fighter? well, maybe not yet only having WON the title twice before hes 24 years old.

    Damn...he shoulda fought Clevel guys and padded his record until he was 25 before taking a world title and leveling off with HOF credentials.:rofl:rofl:rofl

    no he should make another title run, he could get a belt again but one more brutal beating and he needs to call it day. he'll never be the same after that beating but if he's matched carefully he can win another belt before calling it a day on a good career.

    No. He should hire another trainer to help correct his flaws.

    He's still young, and can still have decent career.
