Khans career will end at the hands of Diego Chives

I have seen the footage, this kid is strong and packs a brutal left hook, which is khans weakness.

This kid will ko khan out of the sport of boxing

 

His chin isn't even average though is it? Khan's problem is that his already pretty poor boxing brain seems to completely shut down once he gets a bit hurt. He tries to put on some macho display, and will pay the price for it again if he doesn't change. He showed against Kotelnik that he could box well without getting caught in exchanges, but he seemed to begin to gradually abandon that as he got caught up in his own hype after he endured Maidana (to his credit).

Some careers are hard to predict, but Khan has two very obvious paths open to him. Either continue trying to prove something that doesn't matter, and he will win a few fights impressively and inevitably get caught by a puncher again and get KOed badly, or the light bulb will finally switch on and he will realise that in order to make the greatest achievements possible he needs to adapt his style to account for his weakness, as opposed to try and prove that it isn't there (which it is). If he could take a leaf out of Wladimir Klitschko's book it would do his career a world of good.

It basically depends on what he values more, proving people wrong, or having a long successful career. The first option may be better for the fans in the short term, but the second option may result in seeing him in with some of the best P4P fighters, win or lose. As a fan, I can wait for the second option to pan out, rather than see a few explosive fights and a career derailed.

 

There are many aspects to punch resistance. It seems to be relatively easy to get Khan from fully coherent to somewhat wobbled, but once there he seems a little more resilient. However, that's not worthy of that much credit, since he makes terrible decisions when in that condition.

That's pretty much exactly what I said in my second sentence.

 

Perhaps not, but for me that's not the most important issue. It's likely to happen again, so I would like Khan to cut the macho crap so that he can increase his chances of getting the fights that I really want to see him in.
