Thats exactly right Tim. The warning signs were already in place when he was put on the seat of his pants by journeyman part-time pro's in earlier bouts.

He may be fast, he may be super-fit and he may pack a decent(ish) punch but when you cant take a dig, you are going nowhere and punch-resistance in the head region is a thing of natural physicality, you either have it or you don't and khan doesn't, he is very, very poor in that department.

People were saying I was mad last night at the pub when I commented that Khan was going to get done over before the fight, they said I was talking bo!!ock$ and what do I know? Well I do know a little bit about the fight game and I was spot-on last night, the mockers looked like they were sucking sour plums when I was mugging it at them after the fight.

I cant see him coming back from this to be a great boxer and title contender, yes he will be able to pick-off hand picked has-beens and plodders but at a decent class, never.

obviously the speculated Hatton/Khan encounter cannot happen now, it would simply be a miss-match.

Maybe I am cynical but perhaps khan will get another bout against a big-name who is skint and prepared to take a bung to put on a show but lose. I wouldnt be surprised as FW has invested fortunes in Khan and to see it go all down the khazi will be a bitter pill.
