If Khan wants to continue to box he must change back to safety first approach..

    I disagree, sure Khan was controlling but it's was over aggressive from the get go, Khan was so much faster than Garcia that he did not have to press that much, he could beat up Garcia just with his jabs and his straight right hand, and kept moving bouncing around the ring and not over reaching too much.

    Khan could see from the start that Garcia trying to time him but he ignored the signs, little details like over pressing or playing a bit safe taking his time like vs Paulie and Zab paied off, why so be in such a rush vs Garcia??

    Khan could of wiped the floor with this guy, I don't rate Garcia that high Khan if he took his time could of easy got a UD, instead his over pressing and uppercuts left him in la la land.

    Khan needs to emulate Wladimir Klitschko. Boring but effective. His main advantages are his height/reach and his speed. He doesn't have anything else. Might as well use them to their maximum potential.

    Lot of people who said Khan is done are the same who said he wouldn't break a sweat against Garcia.

    Man was in the top two of the division, not bad for a 'badly flawed' boxer.

    He got careless/cocky and got caught by a humdinger. Got arrogant again in treating the punch as a lucky shot/flash knockdown type thing and went to war with a puncher.

    He'll be back. A loss is never the end, not at 25.

    Nowadays he isn't even that big for a LWW, will be an average sized WW. Its not like he is Klitschko who has big height and reach over everyone.

    Guzman fight is long overdue.

    Still, not a bad fight and one he should be able to win (but then again so were the last two)
