    Whats interesting is Khan took some punches that were far harder in the 4th round then he did in the 3rd round against garcia and he stood up to them.

    the problem with khan though is when you hurt him he just doesnt seem to recover. I think it could be he is just tight at the weight now and same with prescott at 135. when he fought maidana he was still comfortable at the weight but now he just isnt. that is why pacquiao finished hatton so easily b/c rickys punch resistance was gone he no longer could handle his weight class

    This. I thought when Garcia started working a bit to the body he just seemed to wince every time. Also on the preview shows some of the shots Khan was taking in sparring certainly raised an eyebrow. He was being clobbered by big hooks in nearly every clip.

    Khans problem is His Back Leg.

    I agree. I think it's the shots that he doesn't see that get him, if he knows the shot is coming and sees it he takes it better.. but in the Garcia fight he did not see that left hook.

    khan's attributes were quick hands and ariza's juice, now we wonder why he looks 1 dimensional....
