    That's true, though Ali was KOed in the amateurs by Kent Green (who was only 18 I think) when he was a similar age to that Khan was when he was knocked down.

    He took a count in another pro bout, actually. He was off balance more than hurt, but it was still classed as a knockdown. It's not bull****, it's a fact.

    Of course I saw the fight. The ref gave Khan a count, and I agree with him, it was a knockdown. If you disagree, then that's fine, but there's no need to be unpleasant to people just because you have a different opinion to them.

    Negatives::::

    Khan is a bum....he looks good now because he fights tomato cans....

    & if you watch the Limond fight the ref should have got to 10...he went back to his knees between 7/8

    IT WAS A KO TO LIMOND!!!!!

    I dont think he will get very far...because I think he will get exposed soon unless he keeps fighting hand picked bums...& to be honest he wont be able to beat any of the LW champions right now...his best shot would have been Katsidis who i still think has too much power for him...EVEN though he has NO DEFENCE he would only have to land on Khan.

    Plus he is stupid and has a big mouth.......he claimed that he could beat PBF over 3 rounds AHAHAHAHAHA LMFAO!!!!!! for those who dont believe his said this it is on the news articals on his official website (have a look & laugh)

    Positives::

    He has good handspeed and OK footwork

    There is my summary of Khan for those of you who dont know who he is!!!!

    His foot only got tangled after stumbling into the ropes after taking a decent shot. It's no coincidence that Drilzane was a decent fighter prepared to go after Khan and put shots on him. The only other fighter he fought like that was Limond. I never said Khan was hurt, but it was legit in my opinion. The ref agreed with me and so did a lot of the press at the time.

    Hmm, first off, like someone said..limond has floored a few people in his time, not loads but enough to say he CAN bang, and are some people seriously trying to say that limond cannot put a peach of a punch together with some serious power???? Khan was caught and caught flush by imo a very decent shot...and lets remember lads....if you dont see the shot coming it can seriously jar you however hard the opponent hits, imo it was khans defence and over confidence that cost him , bottom line also is he won the fight convincingly and is unbeaten. Glass jaw imo cannot be labelled on him yet. No evidence for me.

    Limond is a good technical fighter but I wouldn't call him a heavy hitter.

    The Limond fight certainly suggested to me that even light punchers pose a serious threat to Khan. I doubt Khan would have survived in there with a more clinical finisher that night. The likes of Thaxton would have taken him out in similar circumstances.

    The questions over Khan's chin will remain until it is tested by someone with a decent punch. We still don't know if he can deal with the threat a big puncher offers as he is continually put in with non-punchers or fighters past their best.

    Ali's excuse for that only stoppage defeat (according to his biography): He lot his virginity to a ***** the night before the fight!

    If Thaxton had hit Khan rather than Limond, it would have been all over.

    He looks a natural boxer with good technique but his chin and his all round boxing brain is questionable.
