Amir Khan time in the US soil as an attraction is gone with that lost. I don't think he can still secure major fights unless he is willing to be the next stepping stone of young prospects. Khan should just fight Kell Brook in the UK, but it looks like Brook is looking for a Crawford showdown now. I didn't see any improvement on Khan, he is still vulnerable to left hook as what Crawford did to him in first round. He is lucky that it didn't landed flush, otherwise it's a KO.
Amir Khan was never an attraction in the US i think. With that quitting, boxing promoter won't waste their time signing Khan. This might be the time to hang up his gloves.

I think he was once touted to be the next main attraction. He has lots of fight that generated good numbers, last one was with Canelo although we all know that Canelo is the A-side during that fight and it was really a mismatch. He can still get some decent fights I guess, but the paycheck might not be what he was expecting though as this lost really did a lot of damage on his boxing legacy.

Post fight interview, Khan says that he will still be fighting.
He will keep fighting because he still can, and that's money every fight. (win or loss)

However, with his recent showings, his stock went down so I don't know, maybe he can go back fighting no names again to gain some confidence before he can fight another top level boxers.

That's probably he needs do first, this guy is calling Manny IIRC and I'm sure he will regret if they ever fight, Manny maybe older
than Crawford but they have the same power.

He is also not getting younger, so just few more fights before he retires.

It's not about the age I guess, Manny is still fighting at his age now and choosing younger opponents.

Well I didnt see this match ending up as it did and surely many people are not happy with the way Khan went out.
I thought it was going to be over when Khan was knocked down early on but he showed the pride of a champion.
This is not how someone quits in the sports as some outlets are reporting.
Khan wanted to continue but his coaches had seen enough.   Khan will return you can be assured of that!

Nowhere else for Khan to go now really, he really should just retire. He’s made more than enough money, how many career losses does he have now?

Too many!
If he still making money, then he will not retire even if he lose more matches. Well, obviously Khan is not enough for Crawford and we might see another match like this with him. Crawford is simply better, a more deserving to win the fight and a bright future for him.

It's not about making money anymore for him, he should retire it's obvious he can't take  a punch and he is putting himself in danger, he has done a lot on sports of boxing and I don't think he can make the main event fights anymore, somebody he trusts should advise Khan to stop boxing and check out other endeavors, there is still a life after boxing.

Khan says he didn't quit when he was hit below, but it's pretty obvious that he just wants a way out, he really is no match for Crawford his speed cannot match Crawford's aggressiveness, which is very surprising since Crawford has been known as a slow starter,

Check out their post-fight interview and fight out if he really quits

I didn't watch the full video. I only watched the highlights and I see that Crawford is more of a defensive and Khan is more of a offensive. I have watched Khan's previous fights already and I think its time for him to retire already. No chance for him to redeem himself in the ring. On the other hand, Crawford is a strong counter puncher. I'm waiting for the Crawford-Spence fight Cheesy.

how many career losses does he have now?
If I'm not mistaken, he got 5 losses already including his recent loss.

Its obviously Khan just want the money, he doesn't stand a chance against a prime K.O puncher like Crawford. Khan is jus fast, thats it.


The question is, are we going to see a Crawford/Pacquiao showdown?
I don't think that fight would happen. This time around, the Pacman is very choosy with his would be opponents. Crawford is a dangerous fight for Pacman this time of his career. Pacman would choose opponents that will make him look good for him to land that rematch with Floyd which i think his last fight.



Agree!
Pacman is out of his prime as he aged. Crawford still at the peak of his career, and youre right about Crawford being a dangerous opponent against Pacman.
This match up wont happen, If Pacman accepts this match, I suspect it would be all business.
Besides, I guess they start building a hype to a Spence Jr. Vs Pacman match up. As I remember, Spence Jr. calls out Pacman after he won the match against Garcia.


In the post-interview, Terence Crawford mentions Errol Spence Jr instead of Pacquiao. Any reason why Terence Crawford wants to fight Errol Spence Jr instead of Manny Pacquiao in the welterweight division?

Manny Pacquiao v Errol Spence Jr 1st and after that, it will be a great matchup before Errol Spence Jr vs Terence Crawford and/or Terence Crawford vs Manny Pacquiao.
I speculate that Crawford wanted to unify and make more money from fighting Spence Jr instead of money. Or maybe he thinks that he can't make a fight with Manny because Al Haymon wanted Manny to fight Keith Thurman. But I would love to see Crawford vs Spence, that is a superfight, imho.

No Idea here. Maybe because they are both champions in the same division, and both are great fighters. This match up is a superfight in the making, no wonder why Bob Arum stands in the way for this fight to happen next.

Crawford dominated the fight in terms of speed and defensive style. Khan is absolutely out shape as he used to be, I think it's time to hang up his gloves and retire. I want to watch what will happen once they continue the fight but Amir's side concede due to low blow.

No one mention about Khan's glass balls lmao.
I'm slightly disappointed with this fight (except for the first round). The building was good, but the match was not satisfying. By the way, congratulation bettors!

Terence was a very big favorite, I reckon. It would not have given anyone a satisfying payback for anyone who was not going to take a big risk that there is always a puncher's chance for Amir Khan.

However, agreed! Amir Khan is no chin and degenerated.

I'm so disappointed on Khan, his weakness is so obvious in the first run and we already know what he is going to do and that is to run and hit, but this kind of strategy for a counter puncher boxer like Crawford, will not work it's pretty obvious that he cannot take Crawford's punch I expected a knock out but Khan, do not have the heart to continue.

I knew it, Crawford will win. But I noticed something, it seems that Crawford is the one who is in the defensive mode this time (just a counter puncher). Well, that's good in a sense that he knew Khan can dance with him so he decide to stay patient and just wait for the right opening.
It was a low blow but Khan is a choke artist & he really should hang up his gloves now. I’m tired of his crap to be honest. Time for him to call it a day now I think.
Probabbly he that opportunity and serve it as his last resort to escape Grin. It's a bad day for him, the wrong thing I observed is that he became aggressive too early which tend him to become careless and the consequence? Boom! 1st round knockdown.

That's how Crawford fights, he usually starts very defensively like Mayweather and he is trying to figure out his opponent. On the first round, we have seen how Khan's chin is. He try to recover in the second and third round, but Crawford chance stance and he was hitting Khan with his right.

I watched the reply again and again of the low blow and it was bonder line, imo. Khan said that he can't move. But it is obviously to me that he knew he can't beat Crawford. How ironic though, leading to the fight he says that he is no quitter.
