If Amir Khan gets beat. Is his career over?

I think it must be.

Oisin Fagan isn't anything special but he'll try hard and turn up to win. He has 13 KO's in 27 fights. Anyone with these attributes will have a chance to beat Amir Khan.

Although he's 34 and a bit small. He isn't a bad come back fight for Amir Khan.

Unless it was a close and reasonably contestable points defeat, I think Khan would be finished - he has after all made sufficient money that he would not need to continue as a gatekeeper or opponent.

No chance what so ever of him losing to Fagan .. this opponent was checked, re-checked and double re-checked

This is as one-sided as any of Khans early fights.

I disagree.

Khan is indeed favorite, but as a comeback fight from a 1 Round KO, Fagin is certainly a tough opposition.

A Joke of a comeback fight was Lazcano, and that was against a World Champion (Hatton), This is much more intresting

Lazcano was a joke of a comeback fight? I disagree enormously - Hatton was coming off a pretty brutal and embarrassing KO and he was put in with a dangerous cookie. It was a gimme but was did you expect? Judah, Torres or Cotto? That would've been a joke because how would he be able to get his confidence back against someone who will easily open up new found vulnerabilities (more so psychologically than anything else). It's just like this will be a gimme for Khan but the name of the opposition tells people it isn't a joke of a fight even though I feel that Khan may stop, or at the very least dominate Fagan.

But hey-ho, that's just my opinion.

Archie Moore and Dempsey each got starched in a round

Great comparison

Moore was in his 13th year as a pro .. and against a tried and tested opponent.
Dempsey was said to be weight starved .. whilst others have hinted it was a tank job..
