    Ohhh I didn't know that part. That's interesting.

    The pm is just in your inbox. It is in the little mail icon directly to the right of your name if you look on the top right. I'll just ask here; it isn't anything personal.

    Can you recall a boxer having different orbital bones broken in consecutive fights? Brook is the only guy I can think of that happening to.

    What's YOUR point?

    That Kell has a better resume than Khan? The answer is NO.

    That both fighters would get stopped if they went up in weight? Uh...well duhh...yeah. So would most other fighters

    Brook's entire face is weakened.

    Not a bad gig if you can get it.

    Khan was smart enough to shift his attention to money fights instead of legacy once he realized that his Achilles heel had an Achilles heel.

    Khan has done pretty well for himself.

    His potential was overstated, he was a tall and rangy guy with speed who had a weak chin, poor instincts & ring IQ, and fundamental flaws a mile long.

    He still won world titles and beat some decent titlists and contenders.

    I suppose you can say his team cashed out on him with the Canelo fight. After looking good against Collazo, doing everything with more purpose and not with his usual "spazzed-out ******" style, he resorted back to his old bad habits and instincts against Algieri. A light puncher put a little pressure on him, and he went back to his instincts where he loses discipline, gets sloppy, and makes a lot of mistakes. He was never a comfortable, fluid fighter in there.

    He was going to lose to a lesser name again with those flaws, so his team sent him to the wolves against Canelo in a fight he had basically no chance in winning.

    He could fight on and perhaps win another alphabet belt, if there's a soft touch available, but if he has all that money, he should retire. Boxing is a cruel and unforgiving sport, and Khan has taken his share of punishment. Knockout losses against Prescott, Alvarez & Garcia...tough fights like Pederson & Maidana.

    I never seen a fighter suffering two broken orbitals let alone in consecutive fights. I've only ever seen a handful of them. It's a rare injury. There is nothing in my inbox. Did you send?
