    Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this year's back so many holes in his game it's in real
    now the speed as slowed he's Euro level at best
    that's all be ever had and a load of world class training and coaching to boot
    i blame f w a n k pushed him to world title with severing a real apprenticeship in the pro ranks feasted on smaller fighters so he could use fast attacks as his defence
    doesn't work up there with the bigger men as Peterson showed him

    I’m also a Kell Brook fan and live just a few miles from the Ingle gym!
    My post wasn’t anything to do with Brook or his spat with Khan, which we both know is just pre fight posturing.

    If you want to call Khan a quitter just because he said Brook was one then fine but it still doesn’t stack up

    His speed masked his shortcomings and because of this he never ironed them out until so ingrained they came back to haunt him once that speed diminished....

    Khan story all over the place here. First he says the ref told him he had 5 full mins to recover.

    When asked why he didn't take the 5mins he says I never knew I had 5mins to be honest. Lol

    I thought Munguia was gonna blast Hogan. Paper mismatch. No one expected it to go 12.

    I was on my way to winning my bet but Khan quit a round early. Again, his lack of heart cost me and others money.

    Neither bet was made with emotion. But I get what you mean.

    Khan wanted out, simple as that. I don't blame him for wanting out either. He was lost, couldn't initiate any attack without being badly countered and hurt, his speed was no factor at all in this fight and he was on the verge of getting badly KO'd. That came as an opportunity to exit without being knocked out and he took it.

    Now he can safely negotiate a Brook fight and use the theatrics in this fight to further sell that fight. Oh and I'm easily/safely picking Brook to knock him out. I'm expecting him to fight some light hitters next as tune-ups to impress whatever idiot that honestly believes he can go far, then he will move on to Brook.

    You don't need Virgil to tell you anything. Just watch the fight, you can clearly see Khan himself asking out shortly before the referee officially waved it off. Then the referee walked to Crawford's corner and told him "He quit", which is exactly what he got from Khan himself.

    You're as deluded as Khan. How can you say someone has no quit in them literally hours after they quit? Revisionist history much?

    Yeah, been seeing a few posts saying Khan has no quit in him. Strange considering the outcome.
