Just re-watched this fight. Round 4 for me will go down as where Amir Khan lost his prime. Took some ridiculous clean shots in this round, full blown dead on the chin. Khan was incredibly brave but took way too many clean shots. I'd rather Khan not fight again than fight Mayweather. FMJ is not a concussive puncher, however the punches you cannot see are always the worst and those are the punches that FMJ will be hitting Khan with. Future punch resistance must be reduced after a fight like this, what do you guys think?
That took a lot out of yes, also took a bad beating in the maidana fight and some of the PEDerson fight.
Lost his prime after the Judah fight Couldn't make 140 comfortably anymore and hitting 25 years old. Khan will only get worse with age and weight. Relies on speed and fitness with his amateur style that gave people boxing fits. Best he could have hoped for was that Bradley fight after Judah. But Bradley fugged off and Khan was left with PEDerson and his slow well recorded downfall. Did well for someone who is mean't to have the biggest 'glass jaw' in the history of boxing..(or is made out to have) Virgil is mean't to make him smarter and more defensive.. won't work.. it's a fail... Roach failed because he treated him like Pac.. but Khan doesn't have the power or chin to fight or succeed like Pac.
What the fcuk? You dont "lose your prime" in a round. What the hell does that even mean? His punch resistance will be the same as it was before, and khan being as deluded as he is, probably wont even have his confidence affected. You must be from the soft school of boxing, where punishment in one round is career ending. No, this is a man's game. For the most part, these guys are warriors. They dont just crumble cause they got a boo-boo. Having said that, I think he lost his prime by leaving Roach and Ariza. This Hunter thing isnt working out. Khan isnt a smart guy so asking him to be smart is asking him to play to his weaknesses.
i think peterson beat it out of him, peterson was jacked up on roids and was hitting him with pretty powerful shots, whatever remained after that garcia left hook took away. i had a crazy dream a few nights ago where khan fights broner at 147 and for the first 3 rounds he's schooling him and in round 4 broner KO's him.
Khan was clearly beating Garcia. No doubt. But that China was the difference. The guy just can't take a shot. End of
