    Hopefully spend a good amount of time with his new trainer learning strategy before he fights again.

    Khan tried to come straight out and dominate a guy who has a high knockout %, is as big as khan (much bigger than Khan's past opponents) and is stylistically unknown to him.

    He need to spend time learning ring smarts instead of relying on his sized & speed with no strategy.

    I really think he should forget about his next fight and go to a top trainer, let the trainer pick his team and start his career from scratch. I was hoping he'd do than when his contract with Warren ran out this year, instead of signing up for more and picking the only trainer who would move over here and put up with Frank.

    Now he's has his wake up call I'm actually interested is watching his next move. Just a shame he's tied himself into FW and sky for a while.

    There is a nice Indian restaurant in my town that is looking to hire ethnic-looking staff.

    His chin won't change in 90 years let alone 10, that's why I'm trying to explain. Doesn't matter if some magical way, all of Ray Robinson's skills are transfered over to Khan, he'll stick get knocked out when hit by a worldclass shot. The poor kid was convincing himself after the fight, "I made a stupid little mistake". Khan, mate, you didn't do anything wrong..you just can't take the man's shots. its over.

    What i meant was within the next 10 years he could imrpove his defence drastically and the chance may come along to fight a champ who isnt a KO artist. So he still has a chance. I am unsure what will happen with him now though

    All he can hope to do is change his style, maybe try become a counter puncher, is he young enough? maybe, but hes gotta learn defense, if he can master that, avoid punches like some fighters can and use his speed, its his only chance. you never know prescott might go all the way, and Khan will have been knocked out by a great?

    Absolutely. If you can't take a decent shot you'll never be a world champion. Khan has everything except the one thing he really needed. A chin.
