“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.”
It was a good comeback, obviously he'll get no credit for it (short of fighting Prescott again and taking clean shots to the chin and staying upright, he wouldn't have gotten credit whatever he did), but Fagan isn't a bad fighter and he's never been stopped before.
So yeah, nothing really that we didn't already know, but good to see him back nonetheless. Though if he means what he said in his post-match interview about wanting to fight Prescott again next, he's a fecking loon of Audley proportions.

I was very impressed with him, Roach is obviously teaching him something out in California.
Held his hands well, his footwork has improved and looked to work behind the jab and pick his punches rather than wading in like mad.
I think Khan gets a lot of unfair stick, he seems like a nice enough bloke and completely dedicates himself to the sport (unlike a certain Mancunian who looked fat as feck last night after only two weeks off after his last fight).
He has got the ability, but his punch resistance is the huge question mark.

But how good could he have been if he had dedicated himself to the sport fully?communistworkethic wrote:and which fat manc is a multiple world champion who doesn't drive round in a 6 series bmw knocking pensioners over?Loyal White wrote:I was very impressed with him, Roach is obviously teaching him something out in California.

His fluctuations in weight are going to catch up with him sooner or later.

Thanks for that, Warty.warthog wrote:Khan v Fagan video
On the subject of the amount of stick he gets I'll just say what I tell everyone.
Having met him, albeit once and fairly briefly, I found him to be nothing other than a delightful, charming and quite a witty young man.
May the bridges I burn light your way

one loss to the best pound for pound fighter of his generation, hardly terrible is it? I'll wager he achieves more in his career than Khan does.Loyal White wrote:But how good could he have been if he had dedicated himself to the sport fully?communistworkethic wrote:and which fat manc is a multiple world champion who doesn't drive round in a 6 series bmw knocking pensioners over?Loyal White wrote:I was very impressed with him, Roach is obviously teaching him something out in California.

Just for the record, if it wasn't for his suspect chin i'd be disagreeing with you.communistworkethic wrote:one loss to the best pound for pound fighter of his generation, hardly terrible is it?

At the end of the day Hatton though has had a great career and made millions of pounds, but with his ability there is the potential that he could have achieved more - who knows, maybe he could have beat Mayweather?
Just imagine if he spent the first 6/7 weeks of camp working on his technique and skills, rather than concentrating on shifting several stone in weight.
