Teddy Atlas questions Amir Khan’s heart

I can't stand Khan, as he's a bit of a *****, BUT, I'm struggling with this. He's fought plenty of top guys (and lost, sometimes brutally) and it just seems strange that he would quite against Crawford of all people. Bud is an amazing fighter and I really do rate him, but he's hardly the type of guy to strike fear into you and at the same time he's not the slick type to frustrate someone into quitting. I actually thought he was starting to slow a little (but still thought he'd knock Khan out).

 

Maybe but I still can’t remember a single fight with a ruled low blow where a guy just quits

I’ve seen fights with a low blow ruled a legal punch and the guy can’t beat a 10 count but this isn’t the same thing

 

It doesn't matter! Hunter called it off. Regardless of communicating the 5 minute rule. You honestly think if Khan had th KD in the first round, had Crawford hurt in several other rounds an believed he was winning the fight he would have quit?

 

but the ref should have told Khan he had 5 mins he didnt obviously he didnt see the punch as low

 

Very sneaky, this one. reminded me aylot of Cotto- Judah.

 

Shows how little you know about boxing. Being shot can came come early for boxers who constantly get their brains raddled. He is considered old base on his time in the ring and the punishment he has taken.

But of course you are to dumb to grasp this.

 

Khan should not have quit! That's the bottom line. Slice it, dice it, conspire all you want! When it's all said and done, Khan quit before his 5 minutes. Do you think Khan would have kept fighting if the ref told him he had up to 5 minutes?

 

Who knows ?? The ref was wrong not telling him he had 5 mins. It was like Areyou ok? Wanna box on ?? instead ofgiving him the 5 mins he was entitled to. Hunter never wanted Khan to take this fight anyway he didnt help

 

What would deducting a point accomplish. THE FIGHT WAS OVER!!! Khan losses by TKO and loses 49-44, 48-45, 48-45 on the scorecards. Feel better?

 

It's not even questionable. Khan has zero heart. The quitting bum.
