    I'm not a Khan fan (that rhymes, Marge, and you know it rhymes) at all, bit of a hater really. But i was wondering what people and his fans thing is his best win.

    I discount any of his fights that i have seen because of the size difference between him and his opponents. I also thought that Barrera fight was a joke due to the size and age of Barrera.

    So what is his best win?

    I know he's very very young, so his best fights are ahead of him. But i ask it because he's fighting for a WORLD TITLE!! Shouldn't he have done something impressive to get this shot.

    I'd say that all things considered, his best win is over Willie Limond.

    Even though he had a favour from the referee ala Cintron vs Martinez he did show plenty of balls to come back and knock out a tough opponent.

    Limond and Gomez are decent domestic scalps. Annihalated Lawton as well.

    Limond and Gomez. THe thing is Khan is a huge lightweight so most people he fights will be smaller. Just like Campbell

    Khan's a good boxer....great technique, speed, footwork, heart....but its just that chin...he's been knocked down by powder puncher's.

    Yeah probally Limond the Barrera fight was a mockery absolute circus show.
    When you put it in perspective and decide Limond was his best win, All the hype and his current status is pretty ridiculous, especially after been blown out by prescott.

    No offence to Limond and Gomez but its not much of a resume to be going to for a Title shot.

    I actually think Khan is a very impressive fighter, and i dont care about throwing **** at him over this glass chin thing.

    But i just hate the hype job. We've seen it with Warren before and this is one of his best examples.

    And if he picks up the win against Kotelnik he'll be protected for years, all the while we'll have to listen to endless **** about how he's the best champ to ever grace our screens.

    Lets be honest. The guy is a very very good fighter with a **** chin.
    And the art of boxing is to hit and not get hit. If he can master the latter he will go a very long way.
    If he can learn to slip punches like Mayweather then the boy can achieve what ever he wants.

    Personally, at the time I thought it was Graham Earl - yet his performance after the Khan fight suggests that he didn't have much left in the Khan fight after his war with Katsidis.

    Now I would say Limmond.

    I would say Barrera is his best win, and yes, it means very little and should have been ruled a no contest.

    No he can't lol.

    A shot featherweight who had been beaten about ten times in a row before fighting Khan, Michael Gomez

    Graham Earl was abolutely finished, Henry Castle already put that to rest.

    Limmond was good, but feather fisted and again, naturally smaller than Khan.

    Barrera doesn't mean jack ****.

    So...Limmond.

    And whoever said he had good footwork...No he doesn't, he has horrendous footwork.

    Limond , Gomez and Lawton in that order

    I consider myself a fan ( now the Barrera debacle has passed ) but they aren't really enough for a world title shot in old fashioned terms but in boxing today ? Seem like plenty to me.

    If it was about deserving surely Prescott would be first in line for a shot.


    But it aint !

    I've called out his chin several times, but I will say as well that he does have great potential in the ring. If he can protect his chin, he may be ok, but once he starts tangling with higher ranked boxers, he will most likely get exposed again.
