Thread: If Khan and Garcia fought again, who would you pick to win?

Putting the hate to one side, if it happened again in 6 months time, who you got and how?

I think Garcia again , if khan doesn't box and tries to trade with him he will get caught. Garcias dad would wind up khan even more again and get khan to fall into the trap of wanting to knock out Garcia and that would fall into his hands and I think he stop Khan. I don't think it would happen so early in the fight, but I think Garcia would catch up with him.

Don't get me wrong Khan has the potential to cause Garica problems, as he showed us in the first 2 rounds. But as soon as Garcia picked up the pace and landed the first meaningful shot, khan went down like a sack of shit. I think Garcia would catch Khan within 12 rounds and that's all it might take to win the fight for Garcia.

Khan would be prepared for 36 minutes of hit and run tactics

Wouldnt gain fans and wouldnt make a fight of it but would be enough for a UD. Garcia would have to make the most of the very few openings he was offered.

Khan's speed won't last forever mind and down the stretch he is going to suffer several KO defeats that will see him retire before 30.

You heard it here first

thought Froch told him to retire now ?

Thats when he was cunting him off....I mean misquoted

I'd like to think that Khan could make some adjustments and fight a smarter fight but Garcia looked so strong from what Ive seen.

Garcia by stoppage Im afraid.

Khan needs to come out of these loafty clouds he's been riding and stop thinking he's something that he's not. To start with that's a slugger and a great fighter that belongs in with the elite. But I think the blue print is out on him and Garcia gets him again.

Khan is more talented but Garcia is actually younger than him. There's no reason why Garcia can't keep improving.

Also Khan looked hurt by body shots as well as getting ironed out. And he looked a powderpuff puncher.

I'd have to go with Garcia in a rematch.. especially just 6 months down the line.

I honestly think Garcia does him again. People were being WAY too unkind to Garcia in those first 2-3 rounds.

I didn't see what others saw when they said Khan was beating the daylights out of him until he got caught. I saw Garcia being smart, cool, calm and collected. He sat there in the pocket as Khan tried to fire off his combo's and landed big body shots and the odd right hand.

He didn't close up like most people do against Khan's speed. He used timing to get his shots off. He was only getting off one shot at a time as opposed to Khan's 2 or 3 but those shots were telling blows. Khan's shots were also not effecting Garcia. Apart from the cut.

I think Garcia is the type of fighter that will always be Khan's kryptonite. Kind of like Salido is to Lopez. In fact Lopez and Khan share many similarities.

Problem is Khan has the worst ring IQ of any world champion (or rather former). Every fight he ends up fighting the other guy's fight, but has managed to largely pull it off thus far by his superior speed and athleticism. This is fine against the less dangerous punchers like Kotelnik or Malignaggi, where errors can be forgiven, or against the crude slugger Maidana, who lacked the skill to finish the job. Against a decent puncher with quick hands, he will always be vulnerable.
All the pre-fight talk regarding Garcia gave him a puncher's chance, the left hook he floored Morales with. What does Khan do? Drops his right trying to land a wild uppercut on the inside all night. Madness.

same result, and the reason is simple, because Khan will be even more emotionally charged coming into the rematch trying to avenge the loss and he'll make the same mistakes as the first time out and Garcia will make him pay for it, Khan's chin wont stand up to his shots for 12 rounds

6 months from now Garcia vs. Khan II would have a simular result, it would just be a matter of time before Garcia got to him again. Like Joe Lewis said: "you can run but you can't hide".

I think Garcia beats him again. Garcia might not nail him early again but he will land big punches over the first few rounds. As in Khan's recent fights that'll slow Khan right down and they're back to having a war for as long as it lasts.

and we already saw that Garcia can take Khan's punches flush to the chin without flinching, so it'd be a uphill battle for Amir

Hate is a pretty strong word when talking about fighters and boxing. Anyway, I pick Khan if he ever learns how to grab and hold effectively. Yeah, yeah, yeah holding is against the rules but let the ref worry about it, the fighters job is to figure out a way to survive. Hang on as long as the ref will allow it. I would like to see another fight because Khan did everything right the first few rounds.
