    The Brook fight would be huge! However, if he doesn't get better at protecting that glass jaw, even the feather-fisted brook stops him in 6. Again imo.

    I dont see him going much further tbh, if i can't take/defend shots like that from Garcia he wont have a career after boxing. Special K in the UK should be the next step to cash out

    I think Khan has finally realized it's his own doing that causes him to get hit.

    If ESB had its collective way a boxer would be forced to retire after a loss. Except for their own personal heroes that would have personal exemptions of course. I mean nowhere in the history of boxing has someone with a loss had a good fight/career afterwards. :rofl

    Even Garcia said he was surprised that Kahn was still standing.

    Working on defense would probably require him dropping Roach.

    Roach would rather him keep a tight guard, control distance, circle out, and focus on the jab, as he has in other fights. It's Khan who can't stick to that mold for whatever reason.

    True, for a guy who doesn't have the best chin or the best instincts when hurt, he fights toe-to-toe far too often. Fair enough he wants to have exciting battles like guys like Morales used to but he seems to forget that he doesn't have the chin or the toughness of an Erik Morales.

    I respect that he wants to please the crowd but he tries too hard to do it and gets caught because of it.

    He needs a style that compliments his physical gifts and protects his vunerabilities better.
