I I think would beat Canelo handily, and if so then probably achieved everything at middle. Pac did an awful lot of catchweights and RJJ never the same after Ruiz. Again though valid points, personally if your making a weight comfortable don't move up. I think when he moves up will be when he knows 2/3 fights left, only stories but it sounds as though no problem pushing bigger men back in sparring. I don't think Froch fancied it if I'm honest, Degale be good and I think it's one that could get made
I can easily picture GGG pushing back Degale, Groves and Smith, possibly stopping them. Barely seen much of Ramirez to be honest! I agree with Froch possibly stopping GGG though. Degale would gas and get caught, Groves would be wobbled few times then Ko'd cold, Smith would be stopped with body shots. Obviously I don't know this and maybe talking **** but thats how I picture it in my mind lol
What I find baffling is how Khan is still high up in some organisations rankings, overall rankings, boxrec rankings, some UK p4p lists etc. He's been knocked spark out 3 times.. lost 4 times. Theres no one else high up in the lists who've been knocked out embarassingly 3 times theres corruption in all sorts of things in boxing..
Lets be honest tho champagne without trying to defend him. Hes been knocked out by garcia and canelo in that 3. Canelo far too big for him and garcia can seriously hit with them counters. Go through the list the other names on it arent really challenging guys of that calibre. Or havent challenged the depth of names khan has yet. Khans had the silver spoon from the amatuers its allowed him to pick and choose opposition from the start...but his resume is still better than a lot on that list. No problems with crolla being on it even though hes got 5 losses to his name. Or mcdonnell with 2 or groves being knocked out and beat twice. Should we be punishing guys for fighting names when it doesnt go there way. Brook doesnt seem to be affected in the p4p list why amir? Realise hes not well liked for good reason... but at least dont let it cloud your judgement. Hes had a lot of the advantages in some of his fights but the names on that cv are better than others have on that list. I d say 4th was too high for him on that p4p list...but theres not really the depth of talent in the uk to force him out the top ten. We ve got some good prospects some pretty good fighters just starting to get going and a good few guys holding titles through not actually doing much. But thats about it.
I wouldn't be too bothered about only having 4 losses but them 3 KO's were devastating...as in potentially long-term damaging. He'll have made a lot of money from the game and his CV is still pretty impressive, so he can knock it on the head with his head held high imo. I'm being cynical but the publicity generated by the talks with Brook serve only to push his MMA venture.
Which will fail especially over here ain't sure about India but I know fwank pushing boxing hard over there I'm sure he will love his old buddy khan jumping all over his boxing venture and giving it nah this is better rah rah rah makes one wonder As for the UK its already going
Khan is used to just copying other people career wise business wise hell even at school he was renowned for copying work so I hear Look at his twitter then go look at taz khans Look at his career copied wickys more or less to a tee Khan cannot or is allowed to be his own man
Khan really only has 3 loses on his record that Peterson loss should of been a NC after the failed drug test and the whole scoring and the hometown ref with points deductions. Both Garcia and Prescott were punchers , and Canelo is really a 160 fighter, when any of these guys land clean is night night ..
Peterson beat your boys ass. Limond should have a win.. 14 second second count!. Diaz, Algieri, Maidana fights were really close could have gone either way. Some refs would have stopped him in the Maidana fight in the round he was getting absolutely battered and not throwing a punch back. He could easily have 8 losses lol and hes cherry picked past it names and non punchers his entire career! Garcia is a average puncher lol. Prescott has had 19 fights since the Khan fight 10 wins only 2 stoppages and 9 losses. He definitely has proved to not be a puncher!
Khan's whole career has been smoke and mirrors. From the outset he's been carefully matched and avoided certain fighters like the plague. He could win a world title again if they find another soft spot, but he'll never be top 3 in any division. He has a horrendous Glass Jaw and has now been banjoed countless times. It's probably best for his health if he retires, getting sparked like that will take it's toll on an already simple mind.
Thats all very well. Agree with most of the post. But we cant really throw that in there then ignore brooks record. Khans probably fought better opposition than brook has. Even diaz the guy khan beat has a draw against brooks best win. Maidanas the best win either of them hold. Brooks continually fought weak opposition also. Guys like gomez/limond were better than guys brook fought at that stage of his career. Alexander/diaz and algeri,s three better wins than brooks last three. Could say khans had the silver spoon but at the same time brooks been wasting his own career for years happily fighting average opposition himself.
I don't know why you keep iterating this point, Khan and Brook are at different stages of their careers + as you correctly pointed out Khan has had big fights handed to him on a platter his entire career.
Thats just silly different stages of their career what you mean by that is khan took the risk to jet off to america to test himself in the wild card gym fighting guys with at least a name ie peterson. Maidana. Even diaz. meanwhile brook was more than happy to continually fight guys like jo jo dan. Frankie gavin. Mathew hatton. Brooks only has himself to blame for being at the stage on thecareer hes at.
