If Khan gets to 47-1 and makes 27 defences will he be greater then Calzaghe

Kos, Khan isn't the one demanding PPV money. Thats Warren and thats because of the way the market is going ! Racist

 

Mazallan-come on,get real.

The question first off is will he be GREATER than Calzaghe.
Its a definate NO. Even his biggest haters must admit this.
The way he's perfomed in his fights to date has been far from impressive. At times in his earlier fights,pretty embarrassing.

Its a pointless discussion anyway because Khan will not get to 47-1.

 

BTW-I'm a massive Calzaghe fan but do take on board some of the critisism put his way. I too would've like to seen him in against Jones/Hopkins earlier. (even tho we all know contracts were signed,Hopkins doubled his bla bla bla) Not going over the same details.

Anyway,point being...when his haters start saying all KHAN needs to do is beat two contenders to be BETTER than JC,well enoughs enough

Absolute fu*king uneducated crap

No, its not interesting. Not on any one single level is it interesting.

It might be interesting in 5 or 6 years when Khan's career has played out.

It's a dig veiled as a genuine post.

 

Khan will surpass Calzaghe within two years. Calzaghe being undefeated just means he never fought the best opposition, only Kessler and Lacy were fights worth being interested in, JC stuck around picking up wins in a poor division then jumped upto fight grandads. Ok Calzaghe deserves a huge amount of plaudits for what he did in his career but it is nothing that Khan can not better. Calzaghe is just flavour of the moment because of good match making and publicity.

 

Depends who he beats. Calzaghe may be unbeaten but the only risky fights I can think of him taking are Eubank, Kessler and Hopkins and two of them can be argued strongly as being taken at the right time, the rest is really just filler.

 

Yeh

 

Who knows where he will get in 8 or 9 years? He is still only 22. It depends now when and if Khan fights the best, I dont think Khan will wait till he is 34/35 to go and fight in the U.S and prove he is the best. I think Khan would take that risk much earlier and we will know in 16 months or so if Khan can cut it at the very top.

In terms of natural skill Khan is above most British fighters, you dont just win a silver medal at the Olympics at just the tender age of just 17, where was Joe's medal?

 

SO unspecific its unreal.

 

This is a joke thread! Khan has been carefully matched against fighters of the has-been, never were or never will be variety. JC on the other hand has been...oh ****! I've painted myself into a corner there haven't I?

 

Hahahaha...nice one

 

Jeff will you please give it a rest with these threads? You're turning into the Calzaghe version of Betty! The guy who said earlier that this thread was a thinly veiled dig disguised as a question had it about right!

As regards the actual question the very obvious answer is it depends who the defences are against and how good he looks in them. Let's look at Calzaghe's best wins. Discard their title winning fights (as Eubank slightly past his peak roughly = Kotelnik). Calzaghe beat Reid, Sheika, Woodhall, Starie, Brewer, Mitchell, Lacy, Kessler, Hopkins. The rough equivalent would be Khan besting Salita in his first defence (roughly the equivalent of Sheika, a hyped yank who wasn't proven at top level but still a danger) then beating Holt, Malignaggi, Diaz, Campbell, Bradley, Maidana, Urango, Marquez then stepping up to take the welter title off of Mosley. If Khan does all that then yeah he may have a shout (though even then Calzaghe never got banjoed by an unproven novice). However, you and I both know his chin is going to let him down again way before he manages any of that.

 

Combined with the win over his son on the nintendo I think that takes him past Marciano.
