    Judah vs Kostya?
    that put a dent on Zab..

    Khan has picked up from that prescott defeat, if he lost right after that or so then yeah..
    speaking of that fight, i recall when one or two of the announcers from sky were in awe at prescott's warm up/pad work just before the walk in.

    No joke. I had a dream that Prescott knocked Khan out before that fight. Even shared it on here, if i remember correctly. Just got that 'feeling' when the fight was made aswell.

    in terms of being great..yeah, that fight cemented his career and false claim.
    But before so, he was riding on something far from hype..

    Naz was always a quality fighter, I find it a bit sad that people assume he was all flash an no substance just because of his loss to Barrera. He really deserves more respect from the fans for the fine fighter he is. If only he had decided to cotinue fighting after his first defeat:verysad

    Bryan Vera/Andy Lee - Lee was getting all sorts of hype before that.
