    It was Maidana who finished him.

    Garcia gave him the worst beating of his career. He ate a ridiculous amount of hard, clean shots in that fight.

    Dunno. The punishment he absorbed in the later rounds v Maidana was brutal.

    The man who destroyed Khan was himself really..All of the above capitalized on Khans inablity to play to his strengths..Khan should be counter punching out of a tight guard. Its comical the positions he ends up in after one of his trademark combinations. Both Maidana and Garcia caught Khan with his hands down round his waist. Even when he throws a jab his right hand drops. All decent opponents just have to wait for the opening and they can swing freely at his chin.

    I reckon a juiced-up PEDerson beat the prime out of Khan.

    **** it... Khan ain't destroyed.

    Look at that 10th round against Maidana..., the beating he took last night, the way he got up twice against Prescott, getting up and trying to go to war with Garcia. The guys had some big fights, some notable successes and some notable losses and always come back.

    The guy should be a British boxing legend. I can't understand the hate, and now people revelling in the consensus that he's 'shot' at 27. ****ing grow up.

    Vargas was shot by age 25. Also, Tyson arguably wasn't the same fighter post prison. I don't see why saying Khan is shot already is so absurd. Some fighters peak early and fall early. Khan has always had a vulnerability about him, however, last night he didn't look the same guy that fought Maidana, Peterson, or Paulie. Khan just hasn't really developed or learned anything from his losses.

    For me, Khan didn't good at all night, considering he was fighting an old Diaz. I don't see any improvements. I think he's two fights away from another KO loss, sadly.

    Khan voluntarily went for a brain scan of his own accord after the Maidana fight so I think that alone speaks volumes about the punishment he absorbed that night.

    I can't recall the article, but I do recall it saying that his brain scan wasn't normal procedure and it was his idea.

    This......its RIDICULOUS the amount of **** he has had over his career.



    Some people don't even realise there own agendas......

    Probs be surprised at the fighters that go and get checked the day/week after a fight etc.


    Fair play to him......looking after himself like the professional he is.
