      Like a guy out of his depth. Do you think he has ever fought anyone good enough to slip his jab and throw a perfectly timed counter right all in the first round. Then later on switch southpaw and start clipping him with check right hooks for rushing in which Khan has always done.

          Like ****. Just like Crawford's trainer said during the interview between rounds. He was over there laughing and joking and having a good time during the fight like a fan. That's all you need to know about how Khan looked.

            He looked bad. It was his usual bad technique, but now he was slower as well. Not a good look. He needs a few light touches and he should call it a day.

His arrogance didn’t help either, if only he had fully accepted that his chin is his major flaw he would’ve adopted to it a long time ago. He would’ve learned to tie up and fight more diciplinely behind the jab. It would’ve turned him into a boring but more efficient fighter.

              2014 version would still lose the same way, he was already KOed by prescott and garcia at that time. All lesser fighters compare to crawford. But yup maybe much better fight.

              He’s just too delusional it’s very easy to hate him.
              Agree with most of what you've said but Khan fought Prescott in 2008. He improved a lot from then to when he fought Alexander etc.

                Khan looked terrible. Footwork was clumsy and he wasn't in shape.

                Virgil should've taken the full five and then stopped it but he did the right thing in saving amir from a worse beating.

                  I just watched the fight on youtube. Khan got hit on his thigh. I have no doubt that it hurt, but the bottom line is he quit. Pure and simple. He didn't even bother to take the 5 minutes allowed. He flat out quit.

                    I think he looked better than I expected and lasted a few rounds. He wasn't in with Rod Salka, he was in with on elf the top Dogs.

                    I don't like Khan, but his balls are bigger than any other guy in the sports right now except maybe for Usyk. He never runs from anyone.

                    If he would have taken the Fanny Garcia or Mayweather route, maybe today some would be calling him the goat, yet he fought everyone they put in front of him and that we have to respect weather we like him or not.

                      Either way he should retire. His best quality at elite level has always been his speed of foot and hand, it was hard to track for anyone. It's not anymore and he's not nearly good enough in other areas to compensate.
                      OR, have the right matches, the following are winning and huge money ($5m paydays for Khan);

                      1. Broner
                      2. Maidana rematch
                      3. claressa Shields
                      4. McGregor
                      5. Tenshin
