    People seriously believed Paulie would be too much for Con? Crazy stuff.

    I don't like Con but I figured he would win. I wanted him to lose of course but it was Paulie he was going up against. The logic in me, wouldn't let me seriously believe Paulie would win.


    I'm still not sold on Con.

    They should have just let him outbox to a 12 round decision but noooooooo they pull some bull**** to make his resume look special. It won't say 'TKO because ref didn't want Paulie to fight anymore'. It will just say "TKO" and people will look at it and think "ZOMG, Khan must have whooped his ass like Pacquiao did Diaz!!11one"

    When he beats a top dog of the 140 division, I will be sold on him. Until then, I don't believe the hype.

      How could he lose to Paulie? Seriously?
      My thoughts came from not seeing Khan outbox a boxer before, when he's faced a boxer (except Kotelnik) he has KO'd them and played the part of puncher. i didnt think he could KO Paulie because of Paulie's chin and what i thought were superior boxing skills. I hadnt seen the boxer/puncher in Khan before Sunday.

      Simple deduction really, deduction that didnt work as it sometimes doesnt.

      Khan's performance almost made me a fan of his!! Of course being a New Zealander it's very hard to support a Brit! (the ANZACS were sent on many suicide missions by England in WWI and II, bastards.) I'd support an Aussie (and i do) before a Brit, or to be more specific, and Englishman. Nothing serious, it's all jovial but you gotta hate someone for the sake of it right?

        You don't have to be a big puncher to test his chin, Every top 10 guy can put him on ***** street but you simply need to connect with some good clean punches and that's the most difficult part, Khan is fast and has improved his defense a lot. If Bradley can find holes in Khans defense then he'll knock him out.

          Khan is slightly better than I thought, however look at his promo team setting him up for hype against a guy who couldn't break an egg, but has an extremelly large mouth... Paulie has fans and on a good night might be able to make it more competetive, but khan was a little better than what I thought i'll admit it.

            people actually thought malignaggi had a chance?
            malignaggi was brought in to get his ass whooped. i dont think anybody denies khan has a lot of talent. he just doesn't have a chin

              Dont get me started on Tim "Headbutt" Bradley!!!!! Noone should fight him, let him take his belt to the grave.

                Bradley doesnt have the power to KO Khan i think, but i do rate him and would love to see that fight.
