    And who in the hell is Collazo or Alexander? Collazo was done many years ago and him beating Ortiz means nothing.
    How is it that you Karachi people seem to find ways to defend or justify Khan's losses? Khan has been KO'd by Prescott, Garcia and now Canelo. These were spectacular losses no matter how you slice them.
    What you are basically saying is Khan should keep fighting guys with zero power so he can "cause problems" for them and keep winning.

    Khan is garbage and only dudes from Lahore believe otherwise.

      Freddy Roach himself has said several times that Pac makes 140 easily. How many catch-weights has Pac been involved in (Cotto, Margarito, JMM, Algieri, etc) and the only WW that Pac has actually fought was Tim Bradley who is a bum in my opinion.

      Why can't Pac fight guys like Thurman or Spence? Look at his career and the list of his opponents.

        jesus christ, i lose track of the amount of nationalities that i supposedly have, been called filipino, russian and american in my time on here, now im from pakiston too apparantly. Im certainly not some hardcore khan fan. But im saying it how it is, khans not 'garbage', hes a world level fighter, beaten maidana, judah, malignaggi, diaz, algieri, collazo, alexander, kotelnik. Hes probably been top 10 ranked for a long long time now, probably top 5 for a while. IM not saying hes the second coming of sugar ray leonard but hes a really good fighter.

            MOST fighters walk around well above their FIGHTING weight and that includes Thurman, Brook, Garcia etc , etc.

            Nothing new in boxing.

              Khan has a better resume than most of these fighters and that includes Kell Brook.

              The unjustified hate for Khan accounts for most of the criticism that comes his way.

              He is legit and fun to watch as vulnerable as he may be.

              Beating a Maidana and dropping him in the process is not small feat a fight most said he would never take.

              Sometimes I wonder if we have true boxing fans or "fans" with agendas.

              Give credit where credit is due even if you have to bite your tongue.

                PAC is no longer a FULLTIME boxer. For all intents and purposes, he is semi retired.

                He has NOTHING left to prove.

                He has made money ...LOTS of it and his place in the HALL OF FAME is assured.

                Pac NO LONGER needs boxing. Boxing will not live him alone.

                Pac has earned it the hard way.

                Pac can fight cab drivers for all i care and it would not matter one iota and we will all watch just for the hell of it.

                Pac could fight Broner for *****s and giggles and we will all watch.

                Pac could fight Felix Diaz and we will all watch

                Pac could fight some no name undefeated fighter from ..(name any country ) and we will all watch.

                Pac will always have options. He NO LONGER needs boxing.

                From here on, its all fun and games.

                I really wish he will retire so these cats can start fighting each other and start establishing their own legacy.

                  Did you not read where I said Smith doesn't know more about boxing than Kellerman? You quoted me and said the exact same thing I said. My point is that Smith did a better job commentating than Kellerman and a better post fight interview. Smith was able to get Bradley out of his shell and had Bradley going at it with him which made for a better broadcast. It's not just about how much you know about the sport it's about entertainment. Skip Bayless and SAS don't know shit about most of the sports he talks about but they had the #1 show because they were entertaining and brought out the best in each other. That Bradley/Smith/Kenny team was entertaining and people talked about it for days after. HBO is dull and Max is dull an his post fight interviews are terrible. We've missed out on a lot of good interviews because of Max. Stevenson jumps in the ring on Kovalev and Max gets scared. Canelo calls GGG into the ring and Max doesn't call GGG over to the mic. The dude is horrible at his job. What do you think Smith would've done in those situations? Boxing needs those type of moments. That's why Merchant's post fight interviews are legendary and Jim Grey too. Like the time he asked Pete Rose about ******** Grey has a highlight reel of great interviews. Max has one, the Pac/Mayweather post fight and Max apologized a couple days later. The dude is trash
                  Oh okay! Phew! Guess your brain cells are still intact then.

                    Crawford should stay at 140 and rule the division for another 12 months before heading to 147, there is a lot at 147 that he don't want though.

                      He brought up Spence last night which made absolutely no sense. Crawford had just said he'd fight Loma (HBO & Arum) at a catchweight. Crawford & Garcia have been going at it all year. Spence is trying to get the Brook fight. Why would he fight Crawford who doesn't have a belt in his weight class and is a weight class below? Pacquiao, Loma at a catchweight & the winner of Garcia V. Thurman were there fighters he should've asked about. Bringing up Spence made no sense.
