    I know, Gaz, mate. It's annoying as hell. Kotelnik was never a mug and a very good opponent for Khan- especially given his 'glass jaw' that wouldn't hold up at 140. Now Kotelnik is a guy with a padded record who previously held an alphabet title:-(. Some people never give credit where it's due, unfortunately.

    Khan in the locker room afterwards was complaining about his jaw hurting.

    I'll give credit to him beating Kotelnik.

    But realistically, he's never going to go where some people think he will.

    THIS WASNT MEANT TO BE A KHAN BASHING THREAD!!! like i said before im a khan fan, think he did brilliantly against kotelnik, i think hell comfortably beat salita too. I think hell go far, and has done brilliantly to become a world champion. I think one should give credit where credit is due, he is a talent and now with roach i think hell be one of the best britain has produced. BUT...... there is no but, khan i think will become a star on the world scene!

    Khan has the fastest hands in boxing right now, good accuracy and amazing workrate. Khan is probably one of my favourite boxers that are active now. But I know he's not going anywhere near the top with that chin. If had a great chin, he'd be the best 140 in a few years.

    But he doesn't and I'm being realistic about his chances and his future career. I can't see him beating someone like Bradley with a chin like that and when he gets pressured he's going to buckle.

    i agree with this(apart from the favourite thingie),also his power is not so good at world level.

    khan has and will never be my fave fighter,but i held my hands up cos he did well against koltinik,a tough but preditable boxer:bbb

    But he had a dominate jab and crazy power.

    His chin wasn't as a bad as Khan's either.

    that left hook that ko'ed khan wouldve knocked out most ppl at the weight, hatton even admitted it wouldve knocked him out (not that it takes alot). but yh seriously that left hook was vicious
