He's a decent boxer, but he's got a proper glass chin, so putting him in with a guy who has knocked out 15 of his 26 wins was a bad idea, even if khan is a better boxer technically a knock out was always on the cards.
Add to that khan being a bit of a cocky **** these days, he got what he deserved, just like his mate Nassem Ahmed got a few years back.
Boxing ring is a dangerous place and being better isn't always enough.
I'd like to see him do better in the future, but Mayweather would destroy him and probably end his career, or turn him into a Joe Bugner stepping stone type boxer, which is something he is close to being if he loses again.

Khan is already showing signs of having taken too many punches, putting him in the ring with Mayweather could seriously damage him for life.
Glass chin and zero guard didnt help his cause, he took over 30 head shots in 3 rounds it was clear his mind was scrambled after the first knock down....

Good boxer with world class hand speed. Sadly he doesn't punch as hard as he thinks he does, his stamina has always been questionable, his punch resistance is minimal at best, and his chin is far too fragile.
I think he'll probably go on to win other world titles and maybe even at different weights. Unfortunately for Khan, the negatives sighted above mean he will always fall short when up against anyone of real class and always be vulnerable to getting knocked out when in with someone who can really bang.
Once vs Prescott you can say was a lesson or a mishap, twice now in that fashion and sadly its a flaw in his boxing make up that will always be at risk of being exposed.

God, he has changed! 
It happens with a lot of sport people. Once they stop, they start to expand. One of our locals used to be a superfit circuit trainer once upon a time. In a few years down the line, he changed his profession and became a conservatory seller with a big house and a big van. One day, I bumped into him in a petrol station and couldn't work out who he was, until he said Hiya to me. I had to gaze hard at his face to work out that he was him. He had grown a proper beer belly and he matched his big house and a big van. He is well and happy, but if you knew him a few years ago, and met him again now, you wouldn't recognise him.

Khan got found out again. He knew what he had to do and started by showing that, then either grew ***** or totally forgot the teams game plan and started to stay inside and bang. Once he did that, there was only one result. Imagine if he'd stayed inside with Maidana?!!!
He's always been cocky and most boxers seem to be, just feel he has put himself on a pedestal too high. Even mentioning his name in the same sentence as Mayweather is a joke. I think it's because he's in the PacMan camp. He needed to win this and at least have some more bigger names on his CV before contemplating PBF.
I'm not sure he'll get another title now. He'll get picked for fights, rather than picking who he wants.
