Amir Khan vs. a prime Antonio Cervantes

These teeny boppers on the general forum dont know who Cervantes is.

 

Khan by ko obviously.

 

Cervantes was old school . He had two long reigns as champ at 140, interrupted by Wilfred Benitez . He was good enough to beat Esteban DeJesus convincingly.
Cervantes competed sucessfully at a high level for a long period of time.During his relativly short career, Khan hasn't had the chance to prove he can compete at that same level.
Based on what Khan has shown so far compared to prime Cervantes, Amir would get smacked around pretty good.

 

I'm with you, either they don't know cervantes career or they expect a hof career for Khan.

 

Cervantes would win. One of the best at 140.

 

you serious? Kid Pambele stops Khan.

 

Who?

I actually never heard of him. Was/Is he good? Love to see some clips.

 

^^^^^
See what I mean.

 

Hes a poor man version of Ricardo Torres.

 

He turned pro after 3 amateur fights, losing two of them. He lost his first title fight to Nicolino Locche but won his second against Alfonso ''Peppermint'' Frazier. Defended it seven times before losing to a 17 year-old Wilfredo Benitez. Won it back a year later and defended it six times before losing to Aaron Pryor. He beat some very good opponents and was VERY good. He finished with a record of 91-12-3.

I could have easily looked him up, watched a few clips somewhere and come back to you, but I rather be honest than look like a big headed idiot who think's he knows everything about Boxing :good

 

Thanks man, appreciate it :good.

And to Xplosive, I thought he was possibly of the younger generation. I'd like to see how many others knew this guy.

 

So? He wants to learn about him and can admit he doesnt know him. Not everybody who has started following boxing in the last few years studies guys from the past. Get over it.

 

No problem man:good

He was a very good fighter, id advise you to watch some more of him.
