    C'mon not even Adelaide Byrd has Garcia winning a round until he hit khan behind the ear.

    Mayweather would be crazy to take that fight. I have never seen Khan close to outboxed (including Pederson), a very high risk fight for little reward!
    If he loses to someone coming off two losses to good (but not world class opposition) his aura/reseme is ****ed! If he wins he's beaten a 2 loss bum and he's cherry picked.
    Stupid fight to take.

    I wouldn't be happy with it right at this juncture, but the style dynamic is interesting. Khan's rapid-fire jabs would be an issue, and if he learned to time his combinations well, could explode and go in-and-out.

    Garcia won the bout, he timed Khan, he hurt Khan, he stopped Khan, how did he not outbox Khan? This is boxing after all...

    If you consider only outboxing as long range, you need to revise your definition. At long range, Khan was winning undoubtedly, but boxing is fought at long, mid and short range. Khan was outboxed. The most effective punches came from Garcia at mid range, Khan had success at long range, but Garcia landed the cleaner shots at mid range. In turn, outboxing him!
