Khan needs to retire

[FrankieBruno]

Paulie broke it all down nicely. Even though Paulie was against this fight, he gave full credit to Khan and was shocked by how good he did.

Respek


Khan was 4-1

If a Prime Canelo is getting soundly outboxed by a Junior MW, no re-hydration clause, what chance does he really stand at 160, against real middleweights?

People keep mentioning Triple G, but there are other boxers at 160 who would cause Canelo some serious problems

[Bullrush]

Ummm...the point of boxing is to win. Canelo did his job.

Lol @ Khan learning head movement and defense this late in the day.

You mean like how Cotto had to relearn everything, the basics of boxing in his prime? **** outta here.

Just stop!

Real Middleweights aren't as quick as Khan and won't run around the ring from him either. Not saying he can beat the best guys at 160 but using the Khan fight as a measuring stick makes no sense. Practically everyone said Khan would start very well early and get knocked out mid to late rounds. It played out like most expected.

Real MW's are stronger and hit harder than Khan.

They might not be as fast, but they are fast enough and their chins are equipped to take punishment, especially at that weight class

It wasnt simply Khans "speed", he was moving side to side, which kept Canelo off balance, making him swing and miss. There are real MW's who can do this as well. Khans footspeed isnt that fast.

Cotto re-learnt the boxing basics in his prime? That's news to me.

Canelo was winning 3-2 before the KO.

It was the usual stuff, a couple of rounds to adjust to Khan's speed then a gradual turn that was becoming clearer with each passing round.

From 4-6 you could see the change and what was coming; Canelo took control of the ring, opened Khan up to the body and began landing clean. It was only a matter of time.

The usual spin and bitterness will be on display from Amir's fans.

[Bullrush]

He sure as hell wasn't outboxing Canelo.

He won the first two rounds and lost the rest.

I had Khan up, so did one of the 3 judges. ESPN as well. Move on.

Yeah I can really see GGG giving Canelo problems with his lateral movement lol... but in all seriousness no one at MW is as mobile as Khan was last night. Khan was much faster with his hands and feet compared to Canelo, it was his speed simply... He was the same Amir Khan throwing the same flurries as always.

Soooooooooooooo, no actual answer as to why you had him up?

Ok then.

I'm sure it is.
