      the hate on here is disgusting, seriously guy's im not even a fan of the guy but reading the replies on here is cringeworthy.
      To say he's a 'talentless f@ggot with no ring IQ who deserves to get KTFO' is pathetic
      Yeah he has no chin, and what? he's a former Olympian, former world champion who even after geting KO'd badly he takes on the most dangerous guy in the division (he asks for maidana) and nearly KO's him in the first round, Takes Huge haymakers throughout the fight and doesnt clinch even on rubbery legs.
      respect where its due.

      proper losers the lot of you.
      Larry. so are you.

          Well he prays five times a day to his make believe friend. He can't be that smart.

            That was an overtrained Khan not a prime Khan. Floyd kept him waiting on his decision for their fight so Khan was in training thinking he would get that fight, and the date. When Floyd avoided him, Khan looked for another opponent and arranged a different, later fight date, all while he continued to train. It turned out to be nearly a 15-week training camp for the Algieri fight which is undoubtedly overtraining.

              It's more like Khan's just not that good.

                Khan has to be one of the biggest overachievers in the game. Everything he achieved beyond Prescott, where even I thought he is done, is like an icing on the cake, now that's alotta icing.
                This is ******.

                Ricky wasn't in the Olymics and didn't have the luxury of selling out the MEN in his pro debut.

                The fact of the matter is that Khan hasn't become what we all hoped he would be. We thought he was the new Oscar dela Hoya. He turned out very differently.

                  Weak argument.

                  Ask any boxer. If they could fight a boxer or a puncher who they'd rather fight, and it'll be a boxer any day of the week. Usually less punishment on the body regardless of the outcome of the fight.

                    Khan's potential was realized the minute he stepped into the ring with Prescott.

                      He's actually trying to say that Khan fought a better version of Collazo

                      I mean just when you think he can't embarrass himself any further, he goes and does it.
