The Lawton fight was a mess, was Scott even trying? I actually only saw him take about 3 flush punches the whole fight.. Steffy Bull threw 2 punches at Khan or something.
Again, past it Super-featherweight who fought a very negative fight. Khans best wins seem to be about getting people at the right time.
True but Khan threw so many , so fast, Lawton didnt really have an option. I'd actually forgotten St Clair to be honest , bump him over lawton
I'd say Gomez and Limmond, but in terms of him getting a shot, its bec ause he has barrera on his record.
Limmond fight for me. What an entertaining fight it was too. A young inexperienced Khan having to get up off the canvas and prove himself. Regarldess of what anyone says, the Barrera fight was also a great win. Before the fight there was a fairly big split between those thinking Khan would win and lose. And now people are talking as if the fight was some sort of formality. Considering how low some people rate Khan it was certainly a good win against Barrera even with the cut and size difference taken into perspective. Were talking MAB here.. an all time legend of the sport, not just a one time title holder.
We're talking MAB here, a natural super- bantam who looked HORRIBLE and I mean HORRIBLE in his last two lightweight fights, fighting a natural light-welter. He can't punch at all at lightweight yet rocked Khan twice, he also lost by fifth round TD which should have been NC. Not a great win in my eyes.
The Khan haters were telling anyone who would listen that MAB was gonna destroy him. He was just as old and small before the fight but nobody cared about at that point, coz he was gonna knock khan out no bother. When it didnt pan out that way and Khan handled him with ease, albeit with MAB having a bad cut, all of a sudden Khan had beat an old man, a guy who should never have been at lightweight, blah blah blah.
<P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P>Come on , everyone with any sense knew it , even at his mercurial best the sizer advantage alone would have given barrera trouble but aged and shot to **** too ? Pffffff </P> <P> </P> <P>Even of the poll of " experts " in boxing monthy only a handful gave Barrera a chance that never happens ( **** they were 50-50 on Pac v Hatton ) </P> <P> </P> <P>And it should have been stopped in the first anyway.</P> <P> </P> <P>The fight was an abomination and should be consigned to the history bin ! </P>
I sure as hell wasn't saying that. The main people who were saying Barrera was worth anything were Khan fan's trying make the fight seem legitimate when it was obviously a joke, and idiots who were believing Sky Sports bull****. Anyone who thinks or thought that fight was anything but a ****in circus is a moron, whether they're a Khan hater or fan.
Personally for me it was the Barrera victory by far, He gave Barrera a good pasting in the first round, barrera tried bringing in the left hook to the body, but Khan training with Roach surely paid off. Followed closely by the ***an win.
