I would not say he was exposed I would say he learned a much needed lesson to progress to the next level....
Like many young up and comers Kahn feels he is invincible and looks past things....At least he was just put on his can and embaressed a little......Next time he will know better.....
Things like that help a top prospect become well rounded.....
He did what he was supposed to....Got up and took care of business
I don't think he will pick up a world title he looked very leaky in this fight Limond had fought nobodys except Arthur just look at his opposition guys with losing records or not even good domestic level opposition and he couldn't even stop them so that tells you about Limonds punching power Khan has been over hyped and when he finally meets a puncher and gets hit on his chin he will be koed.Quote:

Khan is good boxer but cant see him becoming world class.European Champ maybe but not world.
So Khan got knocked down... so wtf is the biggie? He rallied back and won by TKO didn't he?
Every great fighter gets KD sometimes. Good experience for Kahn, and every fan of his should look at his KD in positive way.
He wasn't just knocked down he was almost stopped and was wobbling all over the ring by a mediocre fighter with no power Khan is not great fighter he has leaky defence and will never be world champion imo yes every fighter gets knocked down but he was put down by a guy who fights fighters with losing records more often than not and he has no power.Quote:

He was put on his a** and then took a beating and was almost stopped by a powder puff hitter like Blake just said tell me another great fighter that was put on floor by such a weak puncher ??Quote:

Mundine was KO'd by Ottke, Alan Green was almost put to sleep by Donny Mcrary, Harrison got one punch KO'd by Sprott, Darchinyan got one punch KO'd by Donaire, Steve Molitor absolutely battered Michael Hunter despite only having 8 ko's at the time, Andre Ward got dropped by an unknown, it's boxing and all of the guys are trained to punch at the end of the day.Quote:

Mundine isn't great fighter Allen Green is mediocre all these fighters you mentioned are mediocre Judah was koed by devasting puncher and Lewis proved he had good chin in his career he was koed by devasting shots.Quote:

GO KHAN!
All that Khan exposed was raw talent, heart and determination. If anything he answered the critics tonight.
So even though Khan is no good according to you he's too good to be compared to Mundine and Green? Interesting double standards there...Quote:

And Manny pacquiao got KTFO by Torrecampo who had 5 KO's at the time.
