Did Khan get knocked down in his first fight?

oh shut up u silly daft **** - whats he done to be the biggest **** in the sport other than win a championship belt and make loads of money? Ur a jealous dick hed thats all and i ****ing bet u are one of the racist ones - lets hear u throw a bit of abuse at carl froch or calzaghe for fighting noones and protecting his 0 at all costs. Khan is 23, a world champ, british, he's brave, fast, exciting but the fact he's a muslim makes him the bggest **** hey? So what if he said if he was white he'd be a superstar. He's damn right! For a start he wouldnt be getting called a paki **** all over you tube and booed at fights. So learn to say somethingn that has a bit of content in it or shut ur ****ing mouth. That is all.

 

I agree, Khan is what he is... A brilliant prospect with a toilet paper title. Regardless of his loss his record, on paper, is massively impressive- especially for his age. Look at the names on there- and he's barely dropped a round along the way. Gomez, Earl, Limond, St Clair, Barrera(!!), ***an, Kotelnik plus all the pretty talented domestic guys like Colin Bain, Ryan Barrett, Jackson Williams.... His record is outstanding- that people critisise it is stupid. A lot of his opponents were smaller then him for sure but that doesn't erase the fact that he beat them and the manner in which most were destroyed or well outboxed.

I'm not a Khan hugger, I hate the fact that he avoided Murray and Thaxton when he could have really established himself as the domestic number one.... But he took advantage of his promotional weight and picked up a world title and now regardless of his shortfalls he can always call himself a former world champion.

His record is massively impressive- yes it could be better, but so could Muhammed Ali's and Sugar Ray Robinsons..

 

Yeah, his opposition on the way up was impressive, totally agree

People just set the bar VERY high for Khan

After he lost to Prescott, maybe even before, I though he should get out of his comfort zone and go to the States. Tough sparring, quality training etc. Get away from any distractions and the hype that follows him here.

And he did it, and he's rebuilt after a terrible loss, so he deserves credit for all that. Kotelnik is no ring great but he's decent enough, he's one of Witter's better wins, he drew with Maidana who beat Ortiz, it's a solid win in the context of the division and Khan's youth.

I still don't think he's ready to operate in the real world class circles mind you, nor that he ever will be. Time will tell. But he's doing what he can to get there. You have to respect it.

 

I can remember that.
