Disappointed to say the least with Lo Greco. After all that prep to come out so slow against a speed merchant like Khan?
The referee looked like he couldn't wait to stop the proceedings. So what did we learn? Practically nothing.

Wow, Khans back and he’s better than ever. What a statement he made stopping Lo Greco. No ones ever stopped Lo Greco expect for Spence and that took him 3 whole rounds (boorrring Spence is boring!). Khan did it in 38 seconds which means he’s a harder puncher and also better defensively than Spence as Lo Greco was unable to land on him. Khan has also never been stopped at welterweight so it’s safe to say he has one of the best chins in the division. So in summation, Khan has power, defence and a chin but he needs to work on speed.

difficult to prep up speed that you
just don't have. for the stoppage: i
have no problem with a ref saving
overmatched fighters.

we learned that khan joined matchroom because he's chasing Brook to then literally run out of the ring.

In his moment of triumph he forgot all about Brook and started seeing $$$$$$ signs everywhere.
I expect he'll soon be calling out FMJr once more.

This almost sounds silly but i think floyd avoided amir due to his speed. Would of been a great fight years ago. I think they would of matched up well

Means nothing.... Spence would destroy Khan, and that's why that fight is unlikely to be made... If Khan fights a top Welterweight, his ass is grass again.

Beg to differ. Floyd has always had a knack for rising up for his biggest challenges (Pacman, Canelo, Marquez, Cotto, Hatton, Corrales, Castillo II).
Khan on the other hand has a knack for not rising up for his biggest challenges (Canelo, Garcia, Peterson).
That's why some consider Khan's obsession with Mayweather to be like that of Pauli Spadafora, who (despite his obsession) never did anything in the ring to earn a shot.

Correct me if I'm wrong lazboy but I believe he was being ironic, Kalan.
You can't really fault Khan's performance but we know what are his strengths and weaknesses, and this won't have done anything to alter any perceptions.
