    Yeah; Khan was fucked at the end of the third and should have been stopped. When he was actually stopped, he was in much better (albeit still bad) shape.

    Yup at least at the end he answer back and legs look a bit steady, in round 3 he was wobbly as hell and didn't answer Bayless.

    No way. He should be on undercards. As much as I detest him, Khan's willingless to fight and fight anyone should be commended. My problem with Khan is the hype. He is a good tv fighter.

    I'm glad Bayless let him go on. Allowed Khan to take more damaging shots.

    I wish Bayless let it go on so Khan could have gone out on his back. He's lucky because his legs were gone. It was a matter of time before he went down a third time.

    What kinda bullshit is that? Of course he can still fight. He just gotta get a bit back in the line... He's young of course he has shitty defense but he can still improve.

    Nowhere to go what bullshit he got a huge fanbase of course he can still fight.

    For all of his faults, Khan is a gutsy kid. He always tries to get back up and fight fire with fire. That's why he should stop- he is a walking brain damage case if he takes more like that.

    Khan needs to ditch Freddie Roach. He has not improved shit since the Maidana fight.

    He has no fanbase here...that's why I said his next big fight is Kell Brook at 147.

    no way, man

    Khan's tactics against right hands are ridiculous. He could barely get out of the way of wide haymaker right hands tonight and his habit of moving clumsily to his right after just managing to deflect one with his shoulder or his arm absolutely resulted in him getting clocked with that left hook

    Against a guy who's primary power punch is a fast, accurate, pin straight right hand... a guy with exceptional ability... forget it, he'd get picked apart quickly

    Agree with Bayless fucking up. He gave Khan every chance. The thing is when a guy's leg does what Khan's did, that is symptomatic of a brain injury. The need to stop fights like that right away. They freak out over cuts and swelling, but if a guy's feet aren't working, he obviously shouldn't take anymore for the night.I hope Khan is alright. He showed some pretty serious symptoms of a neurological injury.

    Look, I've seen every single Khan fight, including the vast majority of his ammy fights, and I am telling you that he can't improve, because he PROVEN that he won't improve. His chin is SHIT, really bad, and Khan's bravery will cause him a serious injury one day. You can't take beatings like that, and Prescott, and arguably Maidana, for too long.

    People said that when Khan was a lightweight. If we get him up to cruiser, we might be onto something.

    He has no fan base here either- he ran to the States because he got laughed out of here.

    He could introduce the 'chicken dance' round into Strictly Come Dancing. He'd probably start favourite (but lose).

    aaah i get it now - you're just worried for his health. I thought you were evaluating his business options in boxing.

    True.

    But Khan's defense is absolutely ATROCIOUS...

    Roach didn't do SHIT for him but make him run more when he gets caught.

    Or he could move up and fight Paulie Malignaggi for his IBF belt

    Well it's not like we have a shitload of cash cows in boxing right now. Khan is an established name due to the hype and silver medal and that is more than most boxers have these days.

    Does he really have no fans in England? Where's the hype even coming from?

    Khan is a box-bot. He fights in straight lines. That is what makes him so damn hittable, he has no foot speed or proper lateral, in and out movement. All of that would help, BUT ultimately if your chin is terrible, your chin is terrible. Khan will always be one shot away from something like that.

    Malignaggi has develop a knockout punch...to much risk for Khan.
