    Hindsight has blinded your opinion. Harrison physically is VERY blessed. But he`s attitude is entirely wrong. He was a businessman first and treated boxing as such. The BBC bought his act and lost a cool £1m as a result. It was a poor investment with no return. Audleys career has been exactly the same. Now its far to late to change the cards he`s already dealt himself.

    :thumbsup He`s reaction was alarming. He`s legs were all over the place. Not a good sign at all. He carried that same chin into the pro`s and naturally with he`s prorous defense and high chin got sparked.

    Khan has such a terrible Glass Jaw that anyone that can punch is going to put pressure on him and knock him out. His Chin might be the worst in Boxing today.

    don't agree . harrison has never looked anything special to me. khan has some obvious natural attributes , harrison has never displayed anything special, and i include the olympics in that. he won gold in a weak year without displaying anything out of the ordinary.

    Im only speaking of his physical talents in terms of his size stature length speed etc. He needed a sound coach who could get the best out of him. But Audley is an ego manic who listens to no man. Agreed he`s Olympic medal in my opinion was flattering but he could have built on that. The reality was he only turned pro because the BBC gave him a million.

    i think harrisons a bit of a disgrace to be honest. that first williams fight told you all need to know about his backbone and will to win. he's got neither. at least khan seems game. its good to see him wanting to be straight back in the ring after such a devastating ko. i know if i got knocked out like that i'd be a nervous wreck. credit to him.

    That Picture could mean:-

    1) Khan got Sparked and fell down shortly after the picture was taken
    2) Khan moved out of the way
    3) Pacman missed easily, and if he did that, ODLH would left hook Manny to death

    This should be a confidence builder for Khan, and is a good sparring session for both Pac and Khan,
    Khan has great handspeed, and has height, something which ODLH will have on Dec 6th.

    khan is a very good boxer who cant take a punch,there is nothing you can do about his glass jaw but you can train defencively so you dont get hit or at least hit clean anyway.

    Nah, even Sweet Pea and Roy Jones got hit flush many times in their primes, Khan is inevitably going to get hit too, the only difference is that he can't even take an average punch.

    i dont think there's ever been a fighter who never got hit hard on the chin. that video of him in the amateurs says it all, he hardly touched khan yet he started going wobbly.
    shame really.

    Unless Khan took a bath in Wite Out that is certainly not Khan. Last I looked, Khan is dark skinned. Besides, wheres the rest of the video its barely a 4 second clip.

    Amir can come back. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He's still young and has the potential. He was caught on a bad night. It happens to the best of fighters.
