Imagine what would happen if they put this clown in with Judah or Maidana? :rofl Shattered glass! He's got NO CHIN. NONE. Joke fighter! Any boxer with some pop got him done. Ever hear of Valamore Kleetcho after some fat golfer knocked him out? Hell to the no! A fighter like that fights anybody good with some power, same ****, different day. This boy is DONE!
HBO's bias and favoritism is disgusting. Khan showed a lot of heart and did better than I anticipated after he got knocked down the first time. I am not a Khan fan and I was impressed by him this fight. It's kind of sad that after a loss like this he will likely disappear but this is what happens when your ego doesn't match your skills. You can't look past your opponent to talk Mayweather and Pacquiao when you have a hungry beast right in front of you. Garcia was wide and sloppy with his punches, and likely will be exposed by a technician. Khan did okay in the first and most of the second but Garcia was landing as well (which was largely ignored by the commentators). This last round was a slug fest and I was impressed by the heart of both fighters. Freddie Roach is probably on suicide watch.
Agreed. He could still go the Wladimir Klitschko route back to the top, but he's in a talented division and it will be tough.
Terry Norris was 1,000x the fighter Khan was. You Khan nut lickers just cannot accept the fact that Amir is no good.
Khan has some good wins. Did Paulie quit after being beaten by Hatton, Cotto , Khan etc... no. Not a massive fan but really dont understand calls to quit after a defeat.
Khan still has a lot of upside considering he's still young and very talented but he does need to make some changes.
There is a flaw in Terry and Khan which is not about chin. Some guys like Roy Jones probably always had a glass jaw, but we didn't know because he was not getting hit. Terry and Khan stuck their chins out to get hit because they were so fast and efficient punching, they forgot about defense. Even my favorite fighter Thomas Hearns did this mistake in 1988 against Barkley. He liked to brawl and land his punches, but sometimes a guy leaves himself open. Khan has done this in most fights and I thought why isn't HBO mentioning this. I told myself, he is going to get stopped in the next round being so open.
Khan is good ,but he lost a lot of his luster. This was not like Hearns being beaten by Barkley. Hearns lost to Barkley in 1988 after he fought Cuevas,Duran,Leonard,Benitez,Hagler. So this was after all that and when he was winding down his career after winning 4 titles. Had the Barkley fight been in 1982 before he fought Benitez, that might have taken some shine off of his image. Khan will not be seen as a dominant top boxer again. This is his second knockout loss after looking so great against Judah.
Two defeats in a row and it does not look good. It's hard to see where Khan's career goes from here. He is still a young man but I don't think he has what it takes to get to the top.
