    You picked a battle with me tough guy, not the other way around. Now if you don't mind I'm trying to get back to talking boxing and resume the conversion that was going on before you derailed it.

    This isn't healthy. Try saying two sarcasm free, honest-to -goodness, nice things about Khan. You'll feel better.

    you could have stfu after my first post, but you didnt. now you want to blame me for derailing a thread, like a child who cant handle his own responsibility in a situation, which proves what ive been writing about you, and you denying. do you see how we are true to our nature, and why i will always be 3 steps ahead of you?

    The truth is that Amir Khan was hit low and while taking his 5 minutes, his trainer decided to stop the fight. That's what happened. How you go from that to Khan wanting out or quitting is quite the leap. But you wouldn't be the first one to spin what happened in such a way. If you want to say Virgil Hunter wanted Khan out, then that has some merit to it. But Khan himself is a warrior and never indicated he wanted out. He was simply hurt and trying to recover.

    Now if anyone "wanted out" history tells us it's generally the guy who resorts to hitting a man low, rather than the guy who got hit low. The guy who hit a man low's name is Terence Bud Crawford. Now did he want out ? Khan was startin to heat up and just before the low blow Bud got tagged with a well timed one-two by King Khan. So the fight was starting to heat up and Bud Crawford proceeded to aim low and hit Khan low. While Khan was taking his 5 minutes, his trainer made the surprising decision to stop the fight. That's what happened. Any attempt to spin what happened to make Khan look like a quitter when he was the one who got hit in the nuts isn't gonna work as it's not what happened.

    Hey loser, we're trying to talk boxing here. You've already made a complete fool out of yourself. You've severely harmed yourself as a credible poster by your outbursts. My response was fully justified after your belligerent outburst, and it was very effective in exposing you as somebody who is not on the up and up. You've demonstrated you are a poor excuse for a poster, and I doubt you'll ever come at me again seeing how you've been thoroughly dealt with. Now do us all a favor and take your mindless insanity elsewhere so we can get back to talking boxing.

    are you mentally handicapped? have you no ability to discern the difference in respect your posts get to mine?
    in your mind, do you actually see yourself winning here, and me being somehow leery of challenging you? is this how far college helped you in seeing reality?
    so your minds ability to gauge a situation, has you believing that you have "dealt with" me in a manner that has me afraid to tackle you, lol. is this really how far your ability to reason has taken you? lmao! you are a bigger clown than i ever even suspected. and now, everyone else now knows what a clown you really are, if there was any doubt before this.

    Him leaving roach was an ego thing

    Honestly best a trainer could do with Khan would be to get him to box tight and only let jabs an 1-2's off and spend most of the time running and stealing rounds.

    You wanna talk about clowns ? You're the king of the clowns, complete with full on make up and the whole nine. If you think you're gonna pull some kind of jedi mind trick so we just forget what just happened then you're even more delusional than I thought. This must be related to your massive ego, you're nothing but a glorified spin doctor who just keeps coming forward n just get smashed in the face over and over. You're gonna end up looking like GGG after Canelo gave him that Mexican Style beating over 12 rounds.

    It just seems like you really want this work bad, and lucky for you I'm happy to give it to you. When you bark up the wrong tree you're wide open for such effective counters. You are bound to meet some swift painful resistance. I gotta feeling you're gonna be eating some more devastating uppercuts. You'll be icing down that jaw in no time.

    this is just sad now. i can already tell the life youre destined for, and its sad. but not for you, you have the capacity to convince yourself of anything, no matter how ridiculous it is, so your coping mechanism will keep you from just eating a bullet. but seeing such mental deficiencies just saddens me.

    You're getting tagged but I don't need to pummel you. Being so far ahead on points, I can just cruise to victory, but if you really want to push your luck, you will never survive the uppercut straight combo. You'll end up face down on the canvas before you even know what hit you. "He's not getting up, Jim!"

    The fact that you're still standing after this beat down, well it's like Sam Eggington vs Beefy Smith. How much brain damage can one man take, after a couple of rounds you know it's an unwinnable fight and after a couple of rounds in a fight like this it's best for the ref to step in and put a stop to it before someone gets hurt badly. What's the point letting a guy like Sam just keep coming forward round after round and take that kind of punishment ?

    I think in a funny way, both had good points here. Khan, leaving aside his flaws, has build a fine resume which most fighters could only dream of. But it's also probably true to say that he looks very good against certain types of fighter (mainly boxer/ technician types who are not huge punchers and who he can use his speed to overcome - i.e. most of that list). There are also certain types he doesn't look all that against (mainly big punchers or guys who will bring it, i.e. Peterson, even though he got jobbed in that fight, Maidana, even Julio Diaz he struggled with). It's just styles.

    He has a very solid resume. Better resume than Spence or Crawford for example. Well at least arguably.

    And it certainly isn’t 100% he gets knocked out every time he steps up because he didn’t get knocked out by Maidana.

    Maidana, collazo, algerie, Peterson (he clearly beat him), Judah (who was coming off a win vs mathyssee), malignagi (coming off a win over Juan Diaz), Alexander, kotelnik.

    Far worse fighters out there. I mean how is his resume any different from say Hatton who fell short wverytime he stepped up to elite level except for Tszyu, and Maidana-tyszu at that stage of his career.

    You've been beat up and the ref has stopped the fight because you're a bloody mess. You're not protecting yourself, you're just eating shots against the ropes. Cuts have opened up, you have huge swelling over your eye. You're like Sam Eggington after a couple of rounds against Beefy Smith. The ref is tying to do you a favor and save you from further punishment. He's trying to step in to waive it off but you keep insisting you are OK to continue. Problem is bud you don't look OK. Your face is badly damaged at this point. Your defense is nonexistent you're just standing there eating big shots like a punching bag. You are refusing medical attention though and keep telling the ref you are OK but he doesn't like the look of you and insists that you are done. I know how badly you want to win but you need to start thinking about your future. The ref is trying to save you from unneeded punishment. It's best for you to just take the L and fight another day. All the people are in the ring at this point man, the post fight interviews are underway and you're stumbling around like Trevor Berbick against Mike Tyson still thinking the fight is going on.
