    If the fight gets changed to a NC, expect to see a rematch.

    His wife is hot. He should stay at home with her. :good

    Deadly accurate here. Calzaghe was selling out 80,000 seat soccer stadiums. Mayweather had trouble filling Mandalay Bay in his prime. It's all about low risk/high reward with European fighters. Actually, that is the name of the game for almost every fighter, just like any other profession or business.

    Roy Jones Jr was earning PPV millions all the time in the states. Mayweather had trouble filling Mandalay Bay in his prime. It's all about low risk/high reward with American fighters.

    How can it be worse than the Prescott loss? What can give Khan tons of confidence is that he's through the worst, in a fight he was knocked out clean and he could do nothing about it. From here, another big KO is just the repeat of what happened before, and he came back strong, so it's nothing special. He'll never get brutally KO'd, because he's now too hard to hit, and if he goes down from a clean big blow, he won't get up to take the rest of the beating. His weak chin is the guarantee that he'll take SIGNIFICANTLY LESS DAMAGE in his career than a Margarito type of iron chinned fighter, who takes more damage even in a winning effort than Khan in a losing one.

    He'll probably win some and lose some, but despite half of the world looking for his blood, I think he'll go out without any serious brain damage. That can't be said about someone like Israel Vazquez or Erik Morales.

    hmm says...
    In the shape he's in, I'ld say about mid 30s. He'll do alright if he continues to work hard. I just look at Khan like this since some of you are mentioning his knockout loss.... he went down....so the only direction to go is back up.

    Recently there seem to be loads of undefeated boxers and ridiculously good fight records. Khan may have a loss, I think he'll go one to get a few more, that doesn't mean he isn't a naturally skilled fighter with good footwork, power and speed.
    He may well avoid the biggest punchers in the division but it doesn't spell the end of his career. He will continue to improve and provide entertainment for us fans, and I agree with people saying he will box past 30.

    Who knows in few years when Khan moves up in weight 140, 145 his body matures and is not weight drained at 135, he fills his 5'10 big frame and his chin improves enough for him to take a good shot or two.

    Then people alot I mean alot of fighters are in big big trouble. Think Khan is now 26 fighting at 145 his chin has improved, he has taken that mad hand speed to 145 and is already a 2 weight world champion, and is like the new Floyd Mayweather of the sport with his perfected counter punching style of in out. He can be P4P KING

    Remember Khan is still only 22, at 135 with a 5'10 frame and i feel is weight drained and that could be effecting his chin, and has very skinny legs moving up weight a can only make them stronger.
