    Looks like Haye pretty much remains British boxings last hope.

      Malignaggi making an awful lot of sense on the radio actually, talking now about how Garcia had a specific plan to try to punch along with Khan and that someone in Khan's corner should have seen the way he was trying to time those swings, but instead Khan's just jumped right into one in that third round.
      I could not dig, I dared not rob:
      Therefore I lied to please the mob.
      Now all my lies are proved untrue
      And I must face the men I slew.
      What tale shall serve me here among
      Mine angry and defrauded young?

        There are several very promising British boxers aside from Haye.

          He is not quite good enough but still a decent fighter.


          The thing that annoyed me was Khan banging on about fighting Mayweather next and too me that just seemed like he was being complacent about this fight and paid the price. I thought he would have learned from the peterson fight.

            He does talk a lot of sense and will be a very good trainer one day.

                Very true, the left was always the danger shot.

                  He is doing it primarily for the money now, no doubt and just wants these big paydays. And we know the ultimate payday is Mayweather. Most boxers in this division will be trying to talk themselves a fight with Floyd.

                  Shame, as you say, he did not stick to a proper game plan and learn from the Peterson defeat.

                    David price v Tyson Fury will be a good fight.

                      Lucky left hook, but bang. Great job Garcia! Undefeated and no respect... Would like to see him again soon...

                        It's silly how a loss can **** your career in Boxing. No one wants to touch you. Totally different in MMA. You get some grace.

                        Kahn will be back, he is 25. That's enough time to rebuild and have another go.

                          FWIW I think Khan would have won. The punch that rocked him could have happened to anyone. After that it was all over. Bit he out boxed him.

                            It's not the loss, it's the fashion you lose in, also I don't get the MMA comparison, completely different sport and set up.

                              I'm saying that in MMA you don't get treated like a Leper when you lose. Of course there is going to be a comparison. It's hand to hand combat.

                              Khan is a good fighter, that's clear. But he still seems prone to mistakes. But now he will bubble around in England again being handed lesser fighters to rebuild his name. It'll take 3 or so years to come back. Just seems too harsh for me.
