Amir khans final comeback...?

Khan is on borrowed time with respect to US box office. I can't see Americans paying ppv money any longer for a Khan headlined bill.

With the Hobson announcement surely the writing is on the wall, swansong for Khan and Ricky H. with 30,000 tribal Mancs watching live at £100 a pop. Not much to do with world title boxing though, basically because neither of them are good enough.

Khan has the same problem as Hatton. Not enough ring-smarts and the inability to stick to a plan. They both have a lot of raw talent and can look exceptionally good if they are allowed (by both their opponent and the referee) to fight in their own style. They can both stick to a gameplan up to a point, but when things start going wrong, the plan goes out the window and they revert to instinct, and that's why they're not truly world class fighters. Hatton showed it vs Mayweather, Pacquiao and even Lazcano. Khan showed it against Maidana, Peterson and Garcia. Say what you want about Calzaghe but his ability to change his game when he needed to was a fundamental reason why he retired an undefeated champion.

Was just going to say same thing. Khan is one KO away from his career ending - or becoming an Audley as some have put it, which is the same thing...... Either way he isn't going to reach the heights he thought he was.

Khan's opponents will be extremely confident of winning now too as long as they have just average pop in their fists. Even I reckon I could do him !

As long as they both win their fights in November / December , Hatton and Khan should just get the British showdown on and make one hell of a massive pay day. Though both their stars have fallen this would be huge over here and sell a stadium out easy - probably the biggest domestic fight ever (up there anyway).

And who here wouldn't want to see it
