    if he's defeated via Knock out i cant really see him comming back with anything if presscot didnt give him any doubts about how far he'll go i'm sure this defeat would surely shatter any remaining confidence he had, i dont care about any scanario which would result in his KO if he's ahead on the cards and hes banged out by a right it wouldnt make a difference IMO hes finished which ever way u think of it, and i'm predicting a 7th round stoppage for the man from kiev i'm confident roach will retire from his services as his trainer after the june defeat and he may probrably wonder back to Oliver Harrison.

    Not really. He is moving up in weight and is fighting a legitimate challenger albeit with not that much power.

    It wouldn't be over, but a lot of his selling power to the general public would be.

    He'd need very careful fights to comeback from a knockout loss to Kotelnik and Frank Warren would really be left with a very tough job on his hands.
    It'd be the end of ppv for him though, probably forever.

    i don't see how being KO'd in under 60 secs by a limited in skill wild colombian who's been knocking over tomato cans doesn't harm or end his career, but a KO by a belt holder, going up in weight, who's the favorite going in and arguebly more skilled certainly a legit contest would end his career

    It wont be over but it will be a long road back. I think he would be forced to fight the domestic fighters he has skipped past and build his way up. I don't think Roach would be involved anymore.

    Probably not, he's young, his goal would be just to pick up a world title. He wouldn't have the sales clout anymore though.

    Hopefully we've seen the back of a lot of the, remain undefeated or your career is over, thinking in boxing.

    Khan can always be British, Domestic and Euro level. He could always make a decent wage from it. He can always be a top 20 fighter, maybe top 10 fighter; especially if he can beat a MAB. He is popular and guided. These two things mean he can always be in the game.
