Would love to see a Froch/Kessler re match. Froch should have got the decision first time around. As for the Bute fight; Bute shouldn't have been anywhere near that ring. Impressive record yes, but to make an analogy, so did Huddersfield; but you wouldn't bet on them to beat Real Madrid. And WTF was the ref doing!? Waved as though he'd stopped the fight, then carried on with a standing count when Bute was unconcious against the ropes. Would he have let the fight continue if poor Bute hadn't lurched sideways during the count?

As I said earlier, Chief - for my money he should've stopped it in the third. Bute was taking a spanking and even to my untrained eye there was no way on earth he was ever going to come back from it.

that was actually a decent fight. Chisora never got started though, and it took 4 knock out punches to put him down. I hope Vitali puts himself out there for a fight with Haye, give everyone what they want.

Gutted for Khan but he should retire now. He started brightly and looked well in control but as has happened before when he's fought better fighters, on the attack he leaves himself open to a good counter puncher. Despite his critics, Khan was a very good boxer imo with teriffic hand speed but his lack of discipline has prevented him being a great champion.

Still, for all the years of the ring mc in Mandalay Bay, Ceasars Palace wherever, announcing "Fighting out of Bolton, England.." :pray:

Much better than I expected it to be - still think Vitali would take his head off though.

I'm not sure he should retire, he was beaten by Prescott as a fairly young fella, and anyone's guess if he was beaten by Peterson or not tbh, who either way has since been found to be a druggie. Technically he could still be IBF World Champion if they take the fight off Peterson, and he's still only 25. George Foreman won the championship at about 46? Nearly twice Khan's age. So I can't see him retiring TBF. :-)

I think this talk of him retiring at 25 is all a little redhoocliers to be honest. It'll be a long road back but, and as has been pointed out, he's still only 25. No questioning the lad's ability for me, but his lack of discipline after such a solid start was bloody amateur, at best.

Not so sure its fair to describe it as a lack of discipline

He didn't know what day it was

Should probably have been stopped before it was

Still, no disgrace losing to the fella who may just be the best in the world

Had a bit of a chuckle at Haye's waist guard. Any higher it would have been chafing him under the armpits.

Indeed he didn't know what day it was. The lack of discipline I'm referring to was the one which led to miladdo getting the initial punch into the neck thus flooring Khan for the first time. And yeah, the should've stopped it not long after for me.

He's a boxer not a slugger just wants everyone to know he can go toe to toe which he obviously can't do

Was't that impressed with Danny Garcia everyone's raving about him he swung a load of punches and missed 95% of the time he got lucky with the one he landed

I think a rematch is on the cards and if Khan stuck boxing and not scrapping Khan would win

Retire :lol: he still got what it takes to be the best IMO

I'm a big Khan fan and while I missed his fight as I was away for the weekend (but saw the highlights), there's no chance he's going to retire after this. Froch should keep his mouth shut and it's none of his business to be advising Khan to retire, as Khan rightly said he's in a tougher division and he's still obviously a great boxer.

As for Haye and Chisora, in one sense I'm quite glad Haye won as hopefully Chisora will piss off and just fight bums now and not be anywhere near our screens, and hopefully that ends Haye as well because I can't stand him either.
