Khan now has regressed under Hunter, the Garcia KO took a lot out of him...
Khan did look drained before the Prescott fight. He had the sunken in cheeks look. But you must accept that Khan has very poor punch resistance.
Khan will live to regret leaving Roach.
It's coin toss at this stage, he has improved in certain areas and arguably regressed in others.. Hopefully he'll find a balance..

Originally posted by F!x View PostWell it's debatable, the main improvement I've seen with Khan was in the Diaz fight when he got hurt. Instead of trying to go all out in beast mode he fought smarter, held on, let himself recover. But it could be argued that under Roach he might have overwhelmed Diaz and stopped him. Who knows for sure. I was still impressed with how Khan responded when he was hurt - compare that to the foolish bravado he displayed in his TKO losses, he placed himself in positions to get hit more and stopped. Against Diaz, he defended himself better when he was hurt.

Any other referee would have broken up Khan's bear hugging of Diaz.
If that fight was in the US Diaz would have broken down and KO'd Khan.
Khan is done, he has no chin and poor defensive instincts that cannot be taught....
Hunter is a terribly overrated trainer, other than Ward all the fighters under his tutelage have regressed terribly.

I remember having a discussion with a Brit on IG about Amir and he compared him to Tommy Hearns in the sense that he was skilled but had a bad chinI laughed hard and stopped talking to him.
