Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Believes Friend Josh Taylor Has Lost His Spark

You are missing the point - you can't tell someone their spark has gone, when they've only had 20 fights and they just lost one of them.

Fighters have bad performances and fighters also have guys they struggle against. Wait until he has performed badly over a few fights. Watch other sports and you will see the top guys lose all the time, put on a bad performance or just not get into their rhythm.

Boxing tries to con you that fighters have to look good or win every fight and if not they should retire. Sort of thing a casual fan says.

Of course you can, he's looked progressively worse and he isn't willing to move up to face the challenges of 47 if there was any spark left he'd be more then willing to move to 47...

He has performed badly over multiple fights that's the point, of course other sports people perform poorly but they are in a team sport they can shirk reasonability or justify it in their own head.

No one is implying he has to look good every fight, clearly against better opposition he isn't going to look as good as he once did.

That's inevitable but he seems drained and lacking the desire now.
