Kahn is young, ended the fight on his feet, planned on moving up anyhow.

    I have no idea how he ended up on his feet with some of the blows he took. Pre-fight he said he was looking forward to moving up because he was having struggles making the weight. I wouldn't write him off yet. He might even be more likeable if he learned a bit of humility here.

    He's not 21 anymore, he's getting older.

    This fight will take alot to come back from.
    Similar to Vic's loss to Lopez in a way.
    (It will be all mental & how he deals with it)

    Some fighters can bounce back others can't.
    As a + Amir has done it before...

    Yep. Second time he is finished. Would have been better for him if Bayless stopped it after the first KD. But, time will tell.

    Khan cant possibly think about moving up now. alot stronger competition and harder punchers. He will have no chance. needs a ring IQ before he considers fighting again tbh

    Cotto was pretty chinny before his move up maybe moving up would help Khan, only thing is cotto never got brutally ****ed up like Khan did.

    Fighting closer to your walk around weight helps with strength. The 24 hour before weigh in started to give these guys time to get the fluids back around their brain. This is related to KO. Not sure if 24 hours is enough for everyone. I'm not a doctor. That's why I'm willing to wait before making pronouncements. The fight game is tough in many more respects than we normally even think about.

    Cotto also gained more ring gerneralship compared to khan.. Big difference. Khan doesn't think on his feet too well... IMO khan lacks that and that's what's cost him the fight... Moving up would do him in. Not s good idea IMO, given his fighting style.

    Overall, good post!:good

    Maybe if he is stronger from not being drained he doesn't face as much adversity. I don't know. I'm just saying wait and see.

    Oh please. What is with some of you people! Despite ALL the evidence, you just can't seem to admit the obvious - he has a GLASS JAW!!!!:patsch:lol:

    This guy, who was moved very carefully early in his career - facing only handpicked light-hitters - and then starched by the first halfway decent hittter he faced, has the shakiest china china I have EVER on a world class fighter in 35 years of following boxing.

    We're not just talking glass, we're talking PAPER THIN glass. Pure china. As will be proven time and again if the Konman continues his career.

    He's arrogant and doesn't back it up, he's never beaten an A level fighter, been beaten 3 times by less than A level fighters. Forget about it.

    Maybe not a good idea IMO. He'll be facing bigger men and punchers at 147. He needs to avoid any kind of big punchers.

    I think he needs to avoid guys with boxing gloves on altogether - if he wants to remain conscious.:lol:
