    If Khan loses, is it over?

    My point being that he is only 22. That's young, not yet the man years, the peak years.

    How many fighters kick off from age 27+?

    A loss will harm Amir, but may not end his career as a world title level fighter. He'll just have to work his way up.

    Opinions?

    If he looses its just the matter how he looses! if its again shown that he cant take a punch then this could be the end!

      If Khan loses, its not impossible for him to still achieve his goal of world champion.

      But personally if he loses by KO, I would recommend that he call it a day (only if he has serious high goals in the sport) since he seems to have money, and he's young enough to try something else. But if he's happy touting around on english domestic level...

        Another brutal KO would send his stock crashing like Enron. But a close loss, a good show, and Amir just works his way back up. 22 is so young.

          He will just have to work his way back up. I can imagine Khan winning a world title and then losing it by KO soon after. Rince and repeat until he retires.

          But he will become better and better the longer he trains with Roach.

            There have been guys with good careers who lack ace chins. Hearns, Floyd Patterson etc.

              If he loses badly or by KO, he's thru.

                he done if he loses

                he will have lost twice in his last four fights

                the only chance of becomin a champ is when everybody relevant leaves 135 or 140

                maybe he should fight ortiz as a pro...call it a comeback fight for both just like diaz-katsidis

                ortiz would beat the **** outta him though that wont even be funny

                    Defeat is determined via its manor. Another Prescott episode and you have to say perhaps it is all over, but I doubt seriously that will happen. A loss on a split won’t end his career, nor will a good whole hearted attempt – remember, many of the boxers we love are those we respect, and respect in defeat can mean every bit as much, often more, than in success.

                    I think he’ll win this one, on a unanimous, perhaps even a stoppage. Either way, we’ll all know this Sat night
