I can't see any way back for Khan now. He'd already been knocked down a few times by various journeymen. Now he's be knocked out, he obviously can't take as well as he dishes out. At heavyweight, you can avoid punches and avoid being knocked out - even with a suspect chin. In the lower divisions, you have to be able to trade toe to toe with world-class opponents and Khan isn't equiped to do that. It wasn't exactly a haymaker that did the damage tonight, it was a straight punch, through his guard. The lad just hasn't got the chin, which is a shame because he boxes so brilliantly at times.
