    Definately. When he was being put over by fighters like M Gomez and lucky not to be counted out against Limmond, I didnt feel he would go far. Then the Prescott disater happened, but since going up in weight he has been more solid and done more than I ever felt he would.

    I was never happy with how he got the Barrera decision and I think things like that (even though not exactly his fault) didnt do him any favours with hardcore fans

    Agree about Bellew I thought he won or Drawed at least but it was a cleverly win not a DRAW.

    :? Been there and back. I was actually well past Prescott and thought Khan was going to be the next superstar. I don't see it anymore. He is missing something.

    HEADBANGER has the brown fever, he just wont admit it :yep

    Khan has done better than anyone thought he would after the Prescott loss, and will keep excelling in 2012.

    The ref counted to 10 against Khan and then told Khan to stand up. Khan got up and then went back down. Now I think Khan was Ok but that mistake is meant to cost a fighter and I have seen that happen before.

    Clottey/Abdullaev springs to mind, where a fighter misjudged the count and lost a fight they were winning
    I felt Cleverly/Bellew was a draw to be honest.

    I changed my mind about Kahn, but in the opposite direction. I used to sorta' believe the hype. I now realize he has absolutely no chance at ever achieving greatness.

    None.

    Didn't buy in to the hype when Khan started his pro career. Stared to like him after his performance against Malignaggi, and seeing the improvements in his game. Became a fan after the Maidana bout, but still saw his limitations.

    Now, I don't see him ever being able to compete on the level of a Mayweather or a Pacquiao like he thinks he can...but hope to see him in many more entertaining bouts.

    Khans ok, just the same as all the other title holders in the division.. OK... Put him in the ring with Pac, Marquez, Mayweather he gets tottaly arsed raped..... :yep

    I dont get this super stardom status he has he isnt that good, lets be honest he should be a 100meter sprinter or something because thats all he done against peterson...

    Khan beats JMM, this is coming from a Marquez fan, styles make fights and so does size, Close entertaining fight- Khan 116-112, Nacho knows this aswell, told roach to his face - what are you trying to do, use my fighter as a stepping stone -

    He runs because he has **** footwork not because he's a ***** (I know you didn't say it) he is an idiot with poor ring IQ, still wants to prove he has a chin, Mayweather beats him so does Pac, he is more competetive with Floyd than most give him credit for and khan has even said he wants 2 or 3 fights at WW before Floyd

    Count is supposed to start when the fighter who scored the KD goes to the neutral corner

    Khan got up then went down again - You cant go down twice in a count like that

    :huh Well i actualy think Marquez would give him a bit of a schooling i would love to see this fight.. Lets put this into perspective, Pac fought Marquez and god only knows how Pac won that fight, Mayweather is another league above Khan, dont think Khan would know how to beat this man. I would have to disagree with everything you have put.. :yep
