    Khan's time at the top is done imo. He cam fight all those top WWs but he loses to most of them imo. I think he probably beats Broner. That's about all I can give him tbh.

      Canelo was simply too big and it showed. Khan couldnt clinch, or stay in the pocket for that extra second, he was forced to minimize the frequency of his combos. He had slowed down by the 6, just enough for Canelo to close the distance on him.

      I truthfully thought Khan would get beat to pillar to post like Lopez and Kirkland and then get stopped, which wasnt the case.

      He did better than expected.

      Garcia rematch is a perfect fight
      Khan didn't do better than expected. Khan would've been stopped inside three rounds if Canelo had been able to put a beating on him from round 1.

      This fight went exactly as most people expected. Canelo to start slow and take his time and that Khan would win the early rouns because of his speed and movement. Very few thought Khan could box a discipline fight without getting caught for 12 rounds and that's exactly what happened. Canelo started to get closer and closer after the third round and then....BOOOOM!!!!!!!!

        What do u say?? You think Khan takes this fight next?? or would it be too much for him to take back to back tough fights?? specially when he just suffered a devastating KO Loss??


        Thoughts?
        I don't think that's a good fight after this brutal KO. Brook is a very good fighter who also happens to be a big puncher. I think he would put Khan to sleep and that would be the end of his boxing career. He should take at least one "soft" opponent to see how much he has left and also get some confident back.

          Khan needs a soft touch, maybe two to build his confidence then fight brook. If he fights him now I would expect brook to do the same thing to Khan that Canelo did.

            Brook is vastly over rated for doing so little... I don't necessarily blame Brook... I give him the benefit of doubt that he is a fighter who wants fights... Maybe he is following bad advice... Maybe he is coward and ****** enough to let khan own him.
            Brook has passed the eye test which is why he gets rated so highly. There's no doubt he is a top welterweight but, like you say, he hasn't really fought anyone of note outside of Porter.

            Brook should concentrate on fighting some solid names in his division rather than calling Khan out.

                An eye test is not the same as a real test... Just stating the obvious.

                The problem with brook is he should have had many tests by now...but he hasn't... How does he get away with it?

                  I'm not making excuses for him, I'm just saying, some people rate him because of what they have seen. I agree, he should be in more competitive fights. He isn't, I believe that is largely Hearns fault.

                    Brook sends Khan into retirement, something I been posting here for awhile and not based on what happened to him last night

                    Khan just don't want another UK fighter becoming a Star off of his name so he will continue to avoid that fight

                    Khan and his fans are so delusional that despite him getting almost decapitated they will still continue to hype him up and brag about the first 4 Rounds and how he was out-boxing Canelo and how he is this "Big Draw"5

                    Anybody with Timing Beats Khan, Timing Is Speed's Worst Enemy!

                      If the Khan v Brook fight gets made, that's great but Brooks been calling him out all this time but has spent that time doing nothing.
