    I shouldn't have to, but sometimes I forget this is ESB.

    "Juiced up" A classic ill educated fan's breakdown of Lamont Peterson against Khan, he was suspected of blood doping mate, please get your factual one line comments right, if that is the way you insist on posting.

    Do I honestly need to post a video of Adrien Broner to convince you the kid has fast sharp hands? I mean are you honestly telling me you believe Broner going up to 140 will somehow diminish his skills as a puncher? Choose carefully how you respond to that and think about the company you are in :cool:

    Khans been bashed around the ring by guys such as Michael Gomez my friend, Adrien Broner is not Maidana, nor is he Garcia or Prescott, he's better than all of them, with ease.

    Broner TKO's Khan mate, Khan cannot take a shot!

    :think

    Someone good, i know hes going for a world title but still
    Its not so much about this fight its about after this, i can see him taking on Lopez/Maidana winner, maybe Berto/Karrass winner then they cash out on a Floyd fight

    He wasnt "suspected" of anything. He admitted to taking part in TRT.

    All you could do is show me a vid of him fighting some LW. The guys fought maybe 2-3 decent fighters.

    Khan has spent the last 5 years fighting the best in his division.

    Bashed around my Gomez. I watched the fight,and your definition of "bashing" leaves a lot to be desired.

    And the fact that Khan has been in with plenty of world class fighters and not beemn stopped by them shows he CAN take a shot.

    And yes, power does tend to go down as you go up in weight.

    Floyd used to stop plenty of opponents in the lower weights yet you rarely see him stop anyone since hes gone to 147.

    Hopkins was known for being a big puncher at 160....whats his KO record like at 175?

    James Toney EARNED the monikor "lights out" at 160 and 168, what happened above that?

    You kidding me??
    Look at Hopkins stoppage record before he moved to 175.
    Look at Floyds record was 34(23)-0 before he moved to WW.

    Are you denying that Maidana,Peterson,Kotelnik,Mallignaggi(even if he is featherfisted),and Judah are not world class?

    Of course he does he jumped to 147 instead of 140 because everyone at 140 was tied up and Burns didn't want to fight him at 135. Only Broner haters would think he was ducking the 140 pound division.

    I follow the sport pretty closely. I don't see any better alternatives. Burns didn't want to fight him, and the top guys at 140 were not available. So if you know of some better fights that are available for June, feel free to share.

    Paulie is a title holder at 147 it's a legit fight you fool. He's also the best opponent available at a weight that Broner has never fought at. You just don't like Broner and will criticize any move he makes. Your agenda couldn't be more transparent.

    My God!

    Look through my last what 3 or 4 posts, where have I mentioned the phrase / term world class? where have I questioned Khans resume?

    Facts are facts buddy, Khan has a weak chin, and Broner will find it, accurately.

    I think you'll find the knock outs dried up with the level of opposition for Hopkins and Mayweather as oppose to weight changing, but the two normally go hand in hand either way :good Your beginning to insult me here mate, I'd go and watch your DVD library again and get boxrec up just to refresh your stoppage ratio's if I where you.

    Mayweather and Hopkins will never be remembered as punchers in any era :yep

    Oh, and a little one on your Michael Gomez jibe! I was sat there in Birmingham watching Gomez hammer Khan round the ring for at least two rounds before Khan got his bearings.

    To me, it makes sense to see what he does after fighting Paulie before we criticize him for ducking a division. He's put himself in a position where there are really no easy fights left for him -either at 140 or 147- and I admire that.

    When he was at 130, people cried for him to move up to 135. He did.

    He could have hung out at 135 for a minute. People cried about that.

    He moved up to 147 for a title grab. Half of the people criticizing this move are saying that Paulie will beat him. Well, doesn't that make it a risky fight? :huh

    And now haters are assuming that he's gonna stay at 147, a weight he hasn't even grown into... because he agreed to have one fight there.

    I just don't get it sometimes. a talented young fighter full of potential and all of the so-called "boxing fans" hate him, regardless of whatever move he makes.

    Somone good? Like who? Give me a name. And I'm not sure how you could get on him because you think he's going to fight the Lopez/Maidana winner or the Berto/Karrass winner next when everything out his camp says he'll be fighting one of the top 140 lbers next.

    I don't know what's going to happen the future. From my perspective though, I don't see the sense in crushing a guy for fighting one of the best fighters available to him and expressing a willingness to fight the guys people want to see him against next. Now if he passes on guys like Matthysee or Petersor or Garcia when they are willing and able to fight him and takes on a soft touch instead, then it would make sense to get on his case.
