Considering His age when He started, I think what He has achieved is remarkable, dont knock it.

i agree with scrap there . although hes not the most exciting to watch hes one of those i like to see do well , gets inside and gives it the rough stuff , some of the so called top heavyweights would have a hard time against him

I just had some bread and honey and I swear I just saw him looking into my living room window rubbing his belly!

Next Khan bill would make sense. Altho we dont know, he may by now have decided to jack it in as it has been a long time since we have heard anything.
Does somebody else hold the Commonwealth Heavyweight title now?

I imagine the vacant Commonwealth heavyweight title is on standby incase a main event pulls out.

Now you mention it someone did say on here that he was. But since then nothing official has been heard on that fight (well if it has it wasn't mentioned here anyway.)

Unlikely I would have thought (esp after last night!)
Whilst Matt was an accomplished Muay Thai/K1 kickboxer he has only had 1 MMA fight and that didnt go particularly well:

As others have said it is easy to knock the big man for his mauling style, but he deserves a lot of credit for coming into pro boxing at such an advanced age with amateur fights to draw experience from: his achievements given the context and startling.
