    I'm on board.

    Is the Sports Network train service the rail equivilent of Ryanair including the proximity of world 'tidles' as close as Ryanair airports are to the cities they are advertised as?

    I don't think it is a case of Khan can't fight. In fact when he is overmatched he can look devastating similar to a flat track bully like Oscar De La Hoya used to be. I think he struggles when he is in a true contrst when he is not so much physically bigger, against similar quick hands etc. His chin will always be a concern. From what I have seen to date Kotelnik should win and Khan is not ready for the cream of the 140 pounds division. I am not sure why Warren has made this match. It may be that there is something we are not aware of

    I predicted the move up to 140 on here a couple of weeks ago. Warren knew that Khan didn't have a hope of beating any of the lightweight top 10 so he picked who he thinks is the weakest champion at 140. A calculated risk which will probably pay off handsomely.

    Funny about 3 weeks ago Khan was asked who the "worst world champion" in the sport was, and he said Kotelnik. Dead serious, no jokes, said everyone always tells him how poor the guy is and they cannot believe he is a champion because he would batter him.

    I see he has changed his tune somewhat.

    This has been mentioned about 100000000000 times now in various posts.

    Having seen the vid he hardly said this with any real conviction but rather in the context that this is a champ he could beat easily (which wont be the case)

    Khan is the greatest fighter Britain has produced in the last 30 years. Everybody should get behind him.

    I'm already aboard Jeff :good

    Amir's a brave man to take on Kotelnik for his first fight at 140!

    For all Khans flaws, win or lose Khan's up for it an has an entertaining style.:cool:

    Listen you **** head, before his last fight.

    I would of just said, Amir Khan has hater's. But on facebook, before the MAB fight there was allot of racist comments made about Amir Khan. So you can not ignore the fact.... that there are some stupid people out there wanting him to loose on them grounds.

    And..

    Was his family really given a house..? given clothes..?

    No they ****ing worked, just like everyone esle.

    So stop ****ing chattin ****.

    And Mitchell is not the better fighter, he's a binman.
