terrible, even his speed wasn't there
How did Khan look?

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.Comment

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.Comment

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 never truly evolved his style. He’s the same since his roach days, only age caught up with him bit by bit. 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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

OR, have the right matches, the following are winning and huge money ($5m paydays for Khan);He is over the hill, and he doesn't look like he makes 47 well any more. He looked horrible, skinny and frail in the ring. We've seen fighters in the past who put muscle on and have a fight or two at a higher weight and then try to move back down...it doesn't go well.
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.
