    not in the Olympics he wasnt dropped

    kindelan was picking him apart though not easily it was a close fight, kinelan beat khan by about 8 points

    A simpler way to put it is 'Not as good as Khan'

    You reckon?

    Cause most of the ignorant twats who watch Khan reckon he would beat Mayweather, the only other boxer they have heard of.

    I think he sells because of the Olympics and because he was lapped up by our media. The bulk of the guys who watch Khan dont know **** about boxing and reckon he is pretty much unbeatable.

    Although to us real fans your point is true enough.

    That was why I made the point :lol:

    It is just the same as Hatton back in 01/02 when Frankie was selling him as a world champion. I would have bet him to have beaten any of the real champs at that time with the exception of Tszyu anyway, but the whole WBU thing really pisses me off.

    Have you seen his Facebook fan page - former inter-alphabetty champion, former WBU world champion etc etc

    I am a Hatton fan BTW!

    So you dont reckon he will be a good pro?

    He has a style more suited to the Amateur game, skilled but not much pop, and defensive minded. Hard to tell how good a pro he will be.

    How you come to this conclusion mate? He's not a big puncher by any means. He's also not as talented as khan,.....

    He was referring to when Frankie Gavin boxed Kindelan. I dont remember Gavin going down in that fight??

    He lost by about 12 points but put up as good a fight a khan did against kindelan in the olympics.
