guy had been knocked out cold and hurt multiple time by left hookers
had just lost to an admitted cheat
had that rematch postponed twice
stupidly honors his obligation and agrees to fight replacement garcia
gets koed by left hooker
garcia out there talking like he really did something by knocking out that khan is pathetic.
trying to hold up that win and say khan is more dangerous against floyd is so transparent its laughable!
If Khan beats Broner or whoever he faces next and is impressive in doing so
He needs to ask Danny for a rematch, Danny turned him down the first time, which was a shame, but like i said it was Khans fault for not having a rematch clause
Danny vs Kahn was only 4 rounds but was one hell of a fight, round 3 and 4 were some of the most entertaining rounds of boxing ive seen in a long long time, it was a real fight, no defence, all out action
We were "TOLD" that Khan was inked in to fight the winner of the LWW tournament who happens to be Danny Garcia. With Alexander no longer having a title and the Mayweather fight gone a tune up then a rematch would make sense. But don't think Khan wants it because if he did it would be all over the forums.

That was a Vicous Vicous left Hook, if you watch it in slowmo you can see that Garcia had his full body behind it, he threw it will full swing eyes closed and caught Khan right on the back of the neck, and the moment he hit it, it was over, the rest you saw was Khan's display of Heart & Spirit in the Ring..
I did expect Khan to win but after the Garcia fight and the Diaz fight I don't trust Khan's chin or his ring smarts and fighting ability. I think fighter wit he is sort of tailor made for any fighter like Garcia who has quick hands, good timing and power. If you hit Khan clean with a hard punch you hurt him. If you hurt him he has very slow recovery and you can jump on him hard and finish him off. All of the guys Khan might be fighting including Broner, Porter, Thurman and Peterson have a good chance of knocking Khan out. Paulie is Khan's safest sure win but that's almost like cheating.
I remember you posting in my thread before the fight, there was no way Amir should've been a heavy favorite, I
Yea I can't say I was exactly correct, but I am not disappointed in what I said about that fight at all. I remember that post now, I was thinking of a different one I made and in that thread I know very few even gave Garcia a chance.
Most thought Garcia was going to get wrecked on, where I slipped up was I though Garcia was an alright boxer which would give Khan problems allowing Garcia to land, what I did not think was that Garcia had that much of a punch (I didn't think he was a Malinaggi but maybe a Bradley type puncher). Now it was Khan who was still shaky but it had been a while since he had been stopped and Garcia just did't seem like that guy to break that streak.
I still don't think Garcia is that big a puncher, but his countering is better than I thought which is how he hurt Khan so badly I reckon.

Bro, the guy in your Avi couldn't do what Danny did so stfu!!!
Nobody thought this was a mismatch or that Khan was tailor made for Garcia..This is flat out crazy talk..I have a poll I'll post it if anyone wants,Khan was a wide favorite against Garcia..
Yeah it's bollocks.
As I said in this thread, people were saying Garcia was a cherrypick for Khan and he was tailor made.

Not really. Garcia struggles with speed, he said himself he struggled with Khan's speed. It would have been a bad matchup for Garcia had Khan's chin held up.
Khan over Matthysse?!?!?
Yeah I would say so.
It's not because Khan is necessarily a better fighter, or at least wouldn't win between the two.
But Khan was a proven commodity at world level and a double world champion (or should be) when Garcia fought him. He also had a very good resume.
None of those things can really be said for Matthysse.

Dumb OP or short memory. Garcia was the prohibitive underdog going into this fight.
:lol1::lol1:....when this fight got made, I said it would be a draw and FOTY candidate....I absolutely KNEW that both dudes were tailored for each other....I KNEW Khan was gonna come out blazing and take the early rounds.....but I KNEW Swift plays observe and adapt.....I KNEW Khan was gonna get reckless and walk into that counter left hook and fall on his ass
I knew the fight would get gully at that point....what I didn't expect was for Khan not to weather the storm....I mean this is Amir Khan we're talking about...he weathered many storms right?!?
Don't wanna come across as Mr Know It All because I do be getting alot of sh1t wrong:lol1: real talk!!...but these 2 are 2 of my current favs and by watching alot of their fights I kinda knew what to expect.....I kept telling dudes don't sleep on Swift....Khan was the fav because he was supposed to be the fav.....Swift was a case of something looking so right but being so wrong for Khan
There are people that thought Garcia would win or thought he was at least going to give Khan issues. Still if talking any sort of majority opinion people were saying Garcia was tailor made for Khan.
I know I thought Khan would win because I wasn't that impressed with Garcia but I also thought Garcia was going to cause Khan issues because Khan has failed to learn from his mistakes at every turn. Especially coming off that Peterson fight where he thought he got jobbed (maybe he did) instead of taking heed of why that fight was actually close which was the lesson he should have learned from that fight.
I remember you posting in my thread before the fight, there was no way Amir should've been a heavy favorite, I
Yep that is what bookies do they balance the flow of money so they get it even on both sides, they don't want risk they just want to collect their juice~
Really Khan doesn't deserve to be 5 to 1 over anybody with a pulse and the time to bet is when you view a moneyline as disconnecting with reality.
I can't bet though because I don't really like Garcia's chances and while that number is decent, I prefer to be paid above what I view as the risk that number is to close equal value. I couldn't fault anyone placing a reasonable bet though.
I started this thread in the build up to the Khan Garcia fight
How does Danny Garcia beat Khan?

There are several posts and it reflects what people felt about Garcia's chances. At the time Garcia was seen as a soft touch fight for Khan and tailor made for him. No way was this seen as the other way round at the time. The only person saying it was Angel Garcia. At best people were saying Garcia had a slight punchers chance. Hind sight is 20 20 and now we get threads like this one but no one other than Angel Garcia was saying Khan was tailor made for Garcia going into the fight.
