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.
