    Jerome, I think Paulie, out of everyone, is the man to accurately gauge how he was feeling those two fights. If he felt the Hatton stoppage was bull****, but was ok with the Khan one.....what does that tell you?

    The facts speak for themselves nuthugger. Paulie was hurt numerous times vs Hatton, and not one time vs Khan.

    :lol: ok, Jerome. As dodmoor above has just reminded me, I'll let you ignore the fact that Paulie said Khan's punches were harder.

    your talking **** if you think anyone on this site worships Khans power, if anything he has average power with a lot of snap behind his punches due to his speed.

    Your list doesn't prove he's wrong at all.

    Oh...and Martinez does have a lot of Ko's?

    Like someone has already said, there aren't a lot of KOs these days

    An olympic silver medallist would never figure out a puzzle as complicated as the turtle shell

    khan isnt recognised for his power so it cant be overrated!

    i personally believe khan will be able to fight at LMW when he gets on in his career. he certainly has the frame for it and with another 14lbs of muscle, he will be devastating!! At the moment though, Khans speed is key... hands AND feet!!! This is where he is learning his trade at the top of the game. When he has more experience and has cleaned out the LWW division (well, hopefully anyway) then he will step up to WW!!!

    Come on man. Paulie was HURT vs Hatton.

    How many boxers do we hear saying that the fighter they just fought hits harder than the one who KOd or KDd them. Hundreds. It's bull****.

    Khans footwork is vastly overrated...he moves pretty slowly (apart from his hands).

    He has plenty of TKOs, but in my opinion, more muscle will probably not translate to more (any) actual KO's as its basically just arm punches with no body weight behind them...though this style works well for him and he'd be a fool to try to change it against someone with good power like Maidana

    Well you can say he was HURT against Khan, too. Go to the 2:30 mark of round 5, and you'll see Khan land a left hook/uppecut to the body which makes Paulie back off and whince a little when he touches his trunks. Then Khan immediately goes to repeat the same shot, lands it, and gets tangled up. Paulie uses that as on opportunity to drop to the floor and buy time. Then moments later when Kellerman finishes something he was saying, at 1:45 both of the commentators refer back to the body shot, and thought Paulie was hurt. They even have a replay of it.

    I thought hatton was shot cause it took 8 rounds to finish paulie.
    You told me it actually took 11 rounds for hatton to finish the same as Khan.
    what does this say about Khan?

    you dont remember?
    all I heard was khan going to ko this person or that person, he has a china chin but he will ko so and so. I heard this for months and I never seen the guy fight. Then he fought malinaggi I said he has a heavy jab but weres the power ESB was talking about? It died down after that fight. I honestly think non of you guys seen him fight until he fought on hbo vs malinagi

    You guys were looking at his TKOs and not His KOs
