    probably the quick k.o. After Tua, Ruiz hadn't got stopped til Haye. Khan got nailed by Prescott and seems to have come back in fine form. Lacy got owned over 12 by Calzaghe and appeared shot ever since, and Tua didn't really have the same lustre after Lewis.

    The comment by Khan is one of the stupidest I have ever read. It wasn't even the fact he got knocked out in 50 seconds but wasn't he floored once before he got knocked out as well? How would you rather be embarrassed like that than lose over 12 rounds.

    The bloke is an idiot and it is comments like those that is probably the reason people find it hard to warm to him.

    Ok I accidently voted for the wrong one but just pretend I voted for the other.. I think Khan meant he'd rather take a quick KO than a long beating in terms of how it affects your career and your body, not in terms of reputation, and I somewhat agree with Khan. Taking a 12 round beating never truly leaves you, I mean we all know Lacy hasn't been the same since.. same thing with Cotto recently, after Margarito was done with him. It wasn't a full 12 round beating but it had the same effect. I'm sure there are loads of other examples too.

    Where as if you've been sparked out in 50 seconds you haven't really experienced alot physically, and there probably aren't as much lasting effect, as shown with Khan, seeing as he's bounced back and won a world title afterwards, despite what you wanna say about weak match-making, he's certainly done well regardless.

    I believe there is truth is what Khan said (given all considerations for long term health etc), but it sure isn't the type of thing one would want to say, especially trying to slag off another who just fought a tough long contest. It really does come off sounding like a fool and a wuss. But as we all know, talking isn't exactly Khans strong suit.
