    Khan has never wanted no smoke with any British fighter. It's like he doesn't want to risk a loss to a British fighter in a big fight.

    He ducked Jon Thaxton, John Murray, Ricky Burns, Kevin Mitchell at British/European level when he was coming up

    He's ducked Kell Brook for about 10 years like the plague. He's literally TERRIFIED of the thought of losing to him. Biggest Duck I've ever seen, made every excuse and lie possible.

    Billy Joe Saunders called him out for a fight at middleweight for the WBO title, Khan ducked the challenge. I'm pretty sure Josh Taylor and Junior Witter called him out too. He could've faced Liam Smith at light middle when he was world champ too.

    There's a long list of world title or big, competitive all british fights Khan could have signed up for across the 4 wieght divisions he's fought, but he has never fought a single one. So don't expect him to be signing to face Conor Benn

    I think it did flatter him a bit....he would have slowed if vargas had actually got into the fight. Guys like vargas the perfect opponent for younger guys with the athletism of benn. They,ve done the same with joshua....stuck him in with mostly older guys that cant deal with his level of athletism.

    The kid looks like he can fight tho. Deserves a big well done tonight. Boys we,re saying they,d be amazed if he reached area level a few years back
    Credit where its due....weather he was brought up rich or poor. Hes showing the work ethic needed to be succesful.

    She beat Shields when Shields had just turned 17, when she was just about to turn 21.

    She then proceeded to be completely outperformed by her for the next decade.

    If you're going to hang your hat on that, more power to you.

    You keep acting like you know me. We're not friends on here. Are we Facebook friends? I don't even think I know you. And my being an individual is not a shtick. It's called being a non-conformist. If you want to be a conformist (Sheep) then that's your deal. Not mine. I think you'd understand that if I was on your FB feed though, so I doubt I know you there either.

    Phobic? That imply I'm afraid. How am I afraid of people not knowing who they are? God made us all in his image. If you change that image, then you are making yourself ungodly in the eyes of the lord. So, that means you're remaking yourself in the image of the devil. Am I afraid of the devil? No. Because I am righteous.

    But...it's against a girl...and he lost...against a girl...

    The sam Shields that went on to win a Gold Medal in the same year.

    It doesn't matter.

    No, I'm hanging my hat on Savannah being the visibly and obvious to most people other than you, most impressive female boxer in the sport.

    You dont think 17 year old kids improve a lot in a year after coming into an elite training program?

    And yes, she did win the gold, and then the one 4 years later.

    Something Marshall never got close to.

    Im sure we'll find out within a year.

    Yeah, Marshall has Clarissa shield beat in beauty, skiils and power. She is more blessed than Shield.

    You will see when they fight. If it happens which i doubt because Shields will duck her for a year or two.

    So which is it?

    Is she going to duck her or is she going to fight her in a year or two?

    Yeah, of course they can. Shields actually hasn't. Whereas Marshall has improved greatly.

    Her beating her in the amateurs is irrelevant. She's going to beat her again, because just flat out BETTER than Shields.

    Benn punches harder than Porter, Porter has decent power, but Benn is a concussive puncher, Porter concentrates more on volume and overwhelming his opponents and not giving them room to work

    Porter is proven at a much higher level, do you think Benn hits harder than Spence?

    You do know Vargas is a bum..Connor Benn hasn't beaten any one close to Porter level. He is improving but will find out at the world elite level if he can take out the top boxers of the division.
