Post subject: Re: Khan spoiler

I have to say I did think Khan would win but I also said a loss would end his career. I believe that, this guy has fought bums and won because his opponents were not very good. Khan Knew that and in his own words thought the fight would be one sided. Khan didnt defend well enough thinking it was an easy fight for him. Anyone who can punch has a chance and this guy could punch and did the business. To get in amongst the elite you have to be able to take a punch and we know Khan cant. End of story, end of Khans quest for a world title. FW cant do the PPVs now, thats over. Khan cant demand the outrageous money he has, thats all over too. Euro level is his mark, thats what I have said in the past and thats now Khans best hope. The big dream ended tonight with all the big money. It was rediculous talking about Khan alongside Hatton, Calzaghe, Benn, Eubanks and Lewis. Never mind the boxers of the real past like Honyghan, Buchanan, Conte etc. Yes he will make a comeback but true greatness will be out of reach. It was a very bad beating by a guy who had won against several fighters who had never won a fight. It should have been a very easy win for Khan but over confidence was his downfall. Now Like AH he is an Olympic champion with no hope of a world title unless its the WBU.

I can't remember the last time a Colombian import caused so much excitement in Manchester.

Blimey just won 400 quid on that, had 5 quid on each of the first 5 rounds -mates in the pub think I'm a genius now

Feel sorry for Khan now, what an effing disaster....poor guy, world just came down around his ears. Any links to the fight replay?

Khan did take the interview. "I will be back, I will take the lesson of tonight etc" but he cant demand the huge money anymore.

I know about Boxers being drained at the weight, he's a big lightweight, but its not like he has ever been overweight on weigh-ins, its clearly his chin. Sorry I have to disagree mate, Welterweight is crazy for Khan, it'll never fix his chin. He'll face men a lot bigger, even boiled down Light Middleweights and strenght as well as punch power will be against him. The alarm bells rang when Limond put him down, credit to Limond hes a tidy boxer but hes not a puncher and fought as a Super Featherweight. There is no way on earth Khan can live at Welterweight, you can have all the flashly skills in the world, but he cannot fix that chin, its not like he's dying at the weight in his late 20's.

fair enough,Khan is finished by the looks of it in world class boxing terms,but come on man Khans chin should not be that bad,even if Khan steps up in weight the years of "boiling down" have took something from him,just watch David haye he will be the next one

Khan has been starving himself from the age of 17,that makes a differnce IMO

Khan is more that chinny,the guy is a walking china chin

Little question, why on earth did they bring in a Cuban trainer? I wouldn't think Cubans have much knowledge about the pro game given that they can't turn pro.

That first knockdown was really scary to watch - his legs had gone before he hit the deck. I also knew, like a lot of people, that Khan had no chin but I didn't think it was that bad. I feel sorry for the guy and fair play to him for trying to beat the count after two horrific punches by Bredias. Fair play to him too - he proved me wrong and I will certainly be keeping an eye on him in future.

Khan did say "1% body fat"

Amir has been getting advise from scientific boxing know it alls who know nothing about boxing

I bet even Warren knew that would happen,internet rumours say Amir was getting floored in sparing,this was not happening when Amir was 15

Khan is the only opponent that Drizlane had ever knocked down too.

Its a good thing that Khan got KTFO, its humble pie for all those who get overexcited with prospects who haven't even fought serious competition and ask for huge amounts of money nevertheless.
Its also good as Khan was allegedly's biggest asset now that Calzaghe has left him.
With this defeat, Warren has almost nothing left in his stable and can go back to fishing...

Prescots punches were nothing special but when they landed on Khans china chin they were like nuke bombs
