    Cmon one thing about Khan he doesnt duck opponents ... he has fought several good British fighters in his learning curve and took a risk which failed against the impressive Prescott ... now hes fought back and taken on Barrera and will be in for a world title against Kotelnik !

    Credit must goto Roach as Khan seems to be alot better fighter and has matured in the ring .... all I can say is Britain need World champions so cmon Amir !!!

    I wasn't aware of anyone accusing Khan of ducking opponents.
    I credit him for that.

    Apart from Prescott you could say he ducked the entire lightweight division.

    You'll just have to face the fact that a lot of us are going to criticise Khan because he dodged the British and European

    Because you should "EARN" the right to become a world champion, not have it handed on a silver platter.

    Edwin Valero is a two-weight world champion and has not even fought anybody. He picked up two vacant titles.

    Marco Barrera had too fight prime Erik Morales and prime Naseem Hamed to become a two-weight world champion.
