    To be fair, Bute against Andrade was just pure survival. He wasn't standing and punching back like Khan. And against Froch, yes, he was punching back, but he was never hurt like Khan was.

    Yeah I remember that :good. I also remember you being one of the few here to remind people Khan hasn't changed from his amateur days. And the Judah fight was worrying because Judah was more than capable of doing what Garcia just did, and worse. So yeah, the trick is to punch with Khan if you're a boxer.

    Come on, King. Let's be real.
    • Stoppage was a brilliant one. I wouldn't have argued if Bayless stepped in sooner. He did everything he could to give Khan a chance. Bayless proved again why he, alongside Weeks, is my favourite ref.
    • Khan is probably more talented, but he's not as smart as Garcia.
    • Garcia don't need to do anything. Khan's the one who needs to go back and re-group.

    YDKSAB if you think Khan is remotely anything like the GREAT HITMAN. Please do not put that FRAUDS name in the same sentence with one of the best ever. Khan was nothing more than a hype job . . . PERIOD. To be honest i like the guy and I wish him the best (and a new trainer), but when the TS dares to compare him with one of the four kings it pisses me off.:bart

    Stop overreacting. The only comparison he's making with Hearns is that he stands and trades back when hurt. That's it.

    Reminiscent as in how they respond to being hurt.

    Pretty sure Magic was just comparing Tommy's tendency to stand and slug out even when defeat via KO was inevitable. It's clearly a justifiable comparison.

    Judah similarly to Garcia has a good one punch counter but in Judah's case it's the uppercut where he literally can stop an oppenent flat in his tracks like he did with Mabuza and I can't remember what round it was but he ALMOST got Khan with it in their fight.

    khan catches a lot of **** but maxie was right...he has conducted himself the way big names should as of late...or at least the we would like them too.

    he really will fight anyone anywhere and you can tell he tries his heart out. its such a shame that his downfall is something he'll never be able to work on in the gym. freddie shouldnt catch **** for that either. guys get hit in boxing and khan doesnt react well to getting tagged. his legs go straight to ****.

    Why would Garcia want a rematch? He has bigger fish to fry now hes number 1 at LWW

    He destroyed Khan, 3 knockdowns in 4 rounds,

    Khan needs to stick to some soft punchers for a while, Garcia has Khans number, and Im sure the result would be the same if they rematched.

    Khans got good speed but thats about it, his footwork is lacking, his headmovment is non existant, power is over rated, and he has no defence (struggles even to clinch). Also its proven he cant take a punch

    If I was Khan I would look at fighting the winner of Mitchell - Burns in a comeback fight at 140, then move to 147, fight 1 or 2 contenders at that weight then go after Brook. He needs to start building his career back slowly and realise he is not the animal that he thinks he is.

    He got him with a counter right once when he [Khan] rushed in, and in the round the fight was stopped, he caught him with a left uppercut to the body which stopped him in his tracks (2:10):

    Yeah, it is a pretty bad curse, isn't it? Punch resistance like that makes you wonder whether you're even cut out for this sport.

    unless he gets floyd or pac next, khan is still a big money fight for him. and if the first fight is not a fluke, it would be another easy work for him, so why not?

    I know I am just busting his balls a bit. the guy is the biggest troll of bute's out there so I had to give him some heat. like I said I like Khan, it actually makes him look worse in my eyes when you but him up against any of the greats.

    Now if you want to compare Khan to Bute that is another story:deal
