    He just boxed in the biggest fight so far this year. You seem to be very bitter about him, need to get out the house more mate. Get yourself a gf.

    biggest fight this year? :rofl he was the B side... It was a mismatch and everyone knew it was gonna be a mismatch. It was all about Canelo. It was like when Joe Calzaghe fought Peter Manfredo in front of 35,000.

    I'm not bitter.. it's just hilarious how bad his chin is and how deluded him and his fans are.

    I don't know, going up to MW and losing to Canelo doesn't really change my opinion of him personally. No different to me not thinking less of Brook if he went up and got sparked by Golovkin

    Honestly this loss changes nothing in his existing ranking. A ko loss to a low level fighter at 147 would hurt him.

    Khan brings nothing but shame to the UK, a good gust of wind would blow the bum over.

    He's easily the most talented out of all the UK fighters though.

    People really are idiots.. Khans problem isnt his chin its his heart and brain.. He wants to war and out man fights.. He doesn't have the style to do that.. If Khan was able to follow a game plan like Mayweather he would be the best on the planet.. That punch would of Knocked out anyone.. He is the only British fighter to fight the best in the World he deserves credit

    Of course it's his chin! People with good chins don't just crumble to shots like that. How many times does he has to get KO'd before people accept that his chin is absolute GLASS.

    No he wasn't. He was clearly being beat when he got caught.

    The dynamics of the fight changed in the 4th round, and the momentum was entirely in Canelo's favour.

    4-1 Khan - but Canelo was beginning to dominate. (Would have been 4-2 if Khan didn't go down)

    Have to disagree, he didn't war with Canelo, didn't war with Prescott (didn't get a chance to) and Garcia, well Khan reminds anybody who cares to listen he was comfortably in control for 6 minutes, He got greedy with a combination and got caught and it was the beginning of the end.

    In my opinion the problems are his ring IQ, his defence, his concentration and his chin, those four things combined get him in serious trouble.

    I won't even talk about his power, it's average at best.

    We have seen him get three of those things right a few times like against for example Devon Alexander and he looked exceptionally good but when it goes wrong it goes badly wrong.

    Khan has very fast hands, nobody can question that but he lacks a lot of things that in my opinion are crucial if you are going in at the very top level.

    War is maybe not the right word.. Watching the fight when Khan was staying on the outside 2 or 3 punch combinations then getting out of range. Problem came when he tries to throw too many and plant his feet.. The right leg started to square off. You can see Canelo watching his feet waiting for his chance then boom.
