- Ask for a rematch (or retire)
- Leave Roach ASAP (as in NOW)
- Maybe get Ariza back (he seem to perform better when with him)
- Turn into a boxer (accept that he doesn't have a punching power)
- Hire Floyd Sr ASAP (best move he will ever make, he would wonders for Khan)
Khan is young and he can still learn new tricks. He got caught with a blow to
the neck and top of the head. I have no doubt he can beat Garcia easily if he
just boxes smart and get Sr in his corner.
part of me feels quite happy that 'king' khan got knocked out. imo his talk of fighting floyd mayweather was premature and a little disrespectful to all those fighters who are ahead of him in that queue.
but yeah as for his next fight khan needs a serious re-think. amir has a big heart and when he gets hurt he goes on the offensive which is admirable but not always smart.
he needs to stop throwing so many shots as well. fighters with good chins throw lots of shots because even if they get countered they can take the punch. amir needs to develop into a boxer who secures the decision and he needs to learn to fight off the backfoot.
Khan can beat Garcia easy, he just needs to use his tools. Only way that Danny can beat him is just the way he did, by timing him and throwing with him. But if only Khan would use lateral movemets and thus not let or at leasy make it very difficult for Danny to set his feat and set big punches, he would be safe. The problem was, Amir was standing right in front of him, made it very easy for his opponent to do what he had to do.
Example of what I mean may be Ricardo Lopez. He was open when he was throwing combinations, he was ALWAYS jumping in with his punches and was way slower than Amir, yet because of his great footwork his opponents could not time his on the way it.
Maybe he should change trainers, I don't think Roaches style suits Amir predispositions, he should be a boxer, mover, almost amateur, that's what would be best for him.
realistically there is no reason why he can't come back, considering that Zab Judah did a chicken dance 10 years ago and is still fighting on B grade cards today, Zab even fought Floyd immediately after getting beat by Baldomir.....and they were defeats where he was just a *****....Khan at least fought with hard and was entertaining.
Therefore just on the above example I believe Khan can still come back....he'd really have to re-structure his game if he wants to stay at the top level....otherwise he could always continue the same way and make some decent dollars in being an entertaining B grade fighter.
Hire Floyd SR.? That is the worst thing he could do as their egos would clash. Plus Floyd sr badmouthed him after the Peterson fight saying that he was nothing special. He should hire Manny Steward who would know how to get the best out of his skill set.
