    Option A: he retires

    Option B: leaves Roach for emmanuel Steward. Wladimir was in a similar perdicament as Khan is in now and his career was reserrected.
    Khan also needs to get rid of ****ing Tabares which already raised my eyebrow before this **** happened. There is no question he was far more durable under Ariza.
    btw check out Arizas twitter, hes feeling rather smug lol


    my thoughts regarding the fight where that all that trashtalk by Angel worked and did affect khan mentally. In addition he didnt fight his kangaroo style an had his feet planted trying to walk down Garcia. He fought similarly like in that sparring footage where and got tagged but said the right way to fight is "boring". regardless of how bad that kangaroo style may look, it is more effective for Khan

    He should focus on the task at hand instead of Mayweather and Bradley.

    Stick with who hes with if they still want him. Move up in weight and fight smarter. Hes been stopped twice and wobbled ALOT now. Hes gotta realise his talents and his limits.

    If he wants to knock his opponants out he wants to wait till hes boxed at range and worn his opponant down then when they are tired and ragged go for the knock out. Or just do a Mayweather and keep it safe and smart all the way through and if an oppertunity rises take it.

    Its quite clear he should not be trading and going toe to toe early in the fight.

    Couldn't agree more about Steward, Khan is the perfect fighter for Steward's system. Jab, jab, jab, fight tall then lower the boom.

    I don't think the trash talk really got to Khan. Khan was winning the rounds convincingly. One game changing punch and that's all she wrote. Credit to Garcia and back to the drawing board for Khan.

    Amir should go back to the style that made him.
    **** all the people who hate on his "Kangaroo" style go back to it.
    That flatfooted **** you tried tonight don't suit your liability (Chin).

    Amir needs to go back to basics.
    Maybe Roach ain't for him.

    Wlad is a ***** with zero heart, but he actually has a high IQ and was able to change.

    Khan has more heart than Wlad could ever dream to have............. but he's dumb as a brick, and he'll never change.

    Stick a fork in Khan.

    I completely disagree with this

    the heavyweight division is the strongest it has ever been and will be stronger again in 10 years then stronger again in 20 years. why dont the top 30 in the world get the respect they deserve they are hard mother****ers

    Exactly. Amir Khan isnt built as a fighter who can trade shots in the middle of the ring. He needs to realise that. Roach is not the right trainer for him. He needs a defensively orientated trainer like Steward.

    I have given up on Khan completely though tbh and it pains me because there is so many jewels in his skillset to make him a great fighter but sadly he has serious limitations in a few departments that will hold him back for the rest of his career.

    Yeah man both Khan & Linares are afflicted with the same bad trait.
