Lol that's one name this guy needs to remove from his lips..everytime he mentions him, he loses.

Peterson getting "caught" was the absolute worst thing that could have happened to Khan because it falsely validated his deluded excuses and allowed his over inflated arrogance about his skill level, remain. He and a lot of posters did not accept that he had a bad performance in DC after Peterson was caught on peds...Well, he knows the truth now.

Are you a testosterone pellet salesman now?

Disappointed with the Haye fight.

Do not care if I am a spoilsport but so glad Khan got Knocked Out.
If Garcia tests positive does he get his title back a second time

?

'By 28 I'll have done everything I want in boxing': Amir Khan's plans to retire in three years

Looks like his prophecy will come sooner than he thinks.

When I was watching the Khan behind the ropes pre fight promotional thing and he was sparring (and getting tagged) by the unknown fighter, all I could think of was what would happen with no head guard, with someone who is actually a pro fighter not an unknown.

I've always thought just talking about Khan's chin wad oversimplifying it; he's just a sloppy fighter who comes unglued too easily. But it's clear his chin isn't great either.

Maidana's just not a good fighter,he should have never had any issues. All night Khan moved to his left and Maidana never adjusted his right hand, he just kept trying to get inside to throw those absurd uppercuts. When he finally did Khan was hurt.

He just gets caught with shots he doesn't see coming too often. It's not just his chin. He wants to be this exciting fighter but he just can't do it.

Stand up, Philadelphia. Wow. After Bernard Hopkins lost to Bad Chad Dawson, Randall Bailey and Guillermo Rigondeaux starched Mike Jones and Teon Kennedy respectively, it looked like it would be a while before the City of Brotherly Love had another champion to call its own. It turned out to be not very long at all. With regard to the fight itself, goes to show you that timing can nullify speed. Am I correct in saying that Garcia may be the best current prime Puerto Rican fighter (I know he was not born on the island, but he is of descent)? He's got to be up there. What's next in line for Mr. Garcia? Juan Manuel Marquez? Marcos Maidana? Timothy Bradley has exited the division permanently for welterweight, otherwise, Timothy Bradley?

General Observation: Wasn't yesterday a brilliant day for boxing? Two entertaining fights; two uncontroversial endings.

Well.... both his parents are Puerto Rican.

Lucas Matthyse is the #1 fight to make.
Barring that, Josesito Lopez if he goes all the way back down to 140, JMM, Peterson (if he can get things back in order). I

I'd favor any of those guys to beat Garcia.

Second-tier possibilities: Maidana, Judah. I'd favor Garcia in either of those fights.

My guess is we get a fight with Zab Judah next. Hopefully we do get a fight with Matthyse within the year. Daddy Garcia says they want 3 fights in the next 12 months.
