Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Probably Deserves a Little Less Scorn After 'Quitting'

[Smash]

maybe instead of asking can u go on, virgil should have said sit down for a few mins and have a rest, he gave khan an easy out

Con should've at least gone to the floor to make it more believable ala Oscar de la Hoya

Khan quit. Let's no sugarcoat anything.

Of course, Khan loses all the credit he earned for taking such a dangerous fight against arguably the best in the world. But I think it should end there. Let's not forget Khan has shown a tremendous amount of heart whilst in the ring throughout his career so quitting once against Crawford doesn't diminish that fact. Khan had some of the biggest balls in boxing before this fight, they are smaller now but still bigger than any non-pro boxer posting on this website.

should have waited between rounds.. it was weird to do it off a low blow that hit his leg.

Khan quit and to say he didn't is just another one of his many lies. He will never apologise , he said he will get another world title shot.These's never been such a deluded fighter as Khan. He should retire he will get hurt otherwise.

GTFOH.

I can't believe that Amir Khan still has defenders in this world.

KHAN has a great acting career awaiting him in his country.

That's actually what the quitting coward is planning next after boxing. Looks like we will be seeing his mug on tv for a long time yet

The problem with the outcome lies in the direct nature of Khan's arrangement with viewers ($$ paid directly to Khan). PPV orders were placed, and money given, in good faith. Khan seemed less hesitant when signing on for this responsibility than he was when the time came to fulfull it.

But no surprise there- he'd already gotten the $$. So there is no (immediate) financial consequence for his actions.

Which leaves us with the other consequence, whereby his reputation is scorned. I'm all for it.

Sorry but his reaction to brook quitting vs spence in a much more serious situation more than warrants the reaction he is getting now. He smiled and flat out called brook a quitter on TV following the fight, after brook had his face broken for the 2nd fight in a row and was risking possible blindness. Khan quit following an upper thigh shot. He deserves all of the scorn he's receiving.

Agree 100% he quit and he robbed the fans its that simple.Had he waited out the 5 min MAYBE I could give him benefit of doubt, but he seen a way out and took it as fast as he could.

this is why I laugh at people who still buy PPV, it's actually hilarious and entertaining to me when morons are duped out of their hard earned money

heres a tip fools, stop buying fights
